If you are coming to Otranto, you do not need to look any further than Lara and her lovely parents’ accommodation. We spent a month here, so we can say that everything was well tested by us. Nothing failed. The hot water, the air conditioning, the WiFi, the oven, the washing machine...everything worked perfectly all the time.
Lara’s father, Giuseppe kindly picked us up from the train station, which was wonderful given we have 2 little boys and 4 heavy suitcases. Such a relief.
We arrived to treats like home made bread, drinks in the fridge and some local produce to sample. So thoughtful.
The apartment was sparkling clean. The boys shared a bedroom, which had 3 beds in it - 2 bunks. They loved their own space and they had plenty of room in there to spread out their toys.
The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook in most nights. There was a generous starter pack of oils, toilet paper, water, washing detergent, oils, other condiments. They err on the side of generosity.
The little extras like a beach umbrella, a volley ball for the boys to play with, plenty of sheets and towels, all added to our very comfortable stay.
Otranto itself offered us lots to do - beautiful beaches, natural and historical walks and plenty of festivals. There were 3 significant festivals in the one month we were there.
I would recommend their place to anyone. Everything is within short walking distance - 50 meters and you’re at the beach, and 100 meters and you’re in the old town. With plenty of food and drink to enjoy along the way.
We will forever remember Otranto and Lara’s family with the greatest of fondness!
