Robi's apartment is located just a short stroll from the town's train station (where the Salento tourist bus drops off too), right beside a supermarket and a 6/7 minute walk to the beach front which then leads to the old town - so just perfect really, particularly if you don't have a car.
We were greeted by Robi and her mother, who offered us watermelon and coffee! They were excellent hosts for the few days of our stay. They live in another house adjacent to this apartment and were very helpful with any requests we had. (We got by on a mix of basic English, very basic Italian and Google Translate!) Robi recommended some local restaurants and was even kind enough to drive us to Alimini beach, a few km up the coast.
The apartment itself is well equipped and a good size for what we needed, with a nice spacious outdoor seating area and garden. There is air conditioning in the main living area. Even though you are just off a main road the place feels quiet, tucked away down a sloping driveway. We were really happy with our stay.
