We loved this traditional, quirky house with its upstairs and downstairs outside living spaces. It is in a beautiful resort with lots of convenient shops closeby and night-time entertainment (cafe, Pizzeria, grocery store and lots more.) It is a safe, friendly resort with mostly Italian families. There is a wee train which leaves for the beach (small but fresh) regularly although we also enjoyed the busier Torre dell Orso beach.
There are 2 convenient parking spaces but bus timetables are needed as Google doesn't help much and there are only extortionate taxis (wanting 70euros for a 4km ride!) The hotel reception recommended someone who took us home for 35euro from Otranto late at night. The bedrooms are comfortable and quaint. There is everything you need, but you need to look in every drawer and cupboard for it. The kitchen is tiny but we managed well and the BBQ experience was great. With 3 bathrooms, we were spoilt for choice!
Our host was gracious and helpful. We met him in Bari to get the keys, which made our late check-in convenient for both parties. He sent us videos to explain the location of the pool etc.
We were surprised that the pool belongs to the Slara Hotel so costs 15euro per day each, but only 10euro after 12pm. This makes for an expensive day but we found it wirth it, in the end. The pool is huge, clean and largely empty until 4pm when the aerobics and loud entertainment starts and hordes arrive for a swim. We felt very welcome throughout our stay.
The house decor is a little old-fashioned but therein lies its charm and homeliness. Highly recommended for a week's family holiday. Our young adult children loved it!
