Our first time visiting Otranto and Alessandra's very well equipped apartment is perfect. Literally a 5 minute walk to the old town and harbour front with its swimming beach/warm water and cafes, many restaurants and bars. The apartments' underground garage was a real bonus and everything worked perfectly. We visited the friendly CasAmelia Bakery for coffee & cornetto every morning after our swim. Their '5 cereali' fresh bread loaf is a must! Shopped at the boutique EDO Collection - reasonably priced unique designer mens and ladies clothes and accessories; Ularia the owner/designer speaks excellent English. Enjoyed the laidback vibe of Maestrale bar on the harbour wharf - great cocktails and tunes watching the sun go down. Alessandra greeted us warmly with gifts of wine and local products and the whole process was effortless. We would love to return some day in the future. Bellisimo.
