Robin's home was a perfect spot for me to relax into Italian culture for my 10 days in Otranto. The space was huge with everything I needed. I cook a lot so the big kitchen was perfect. The proximity to the various beaches, grocery stores and the old town was great. I wasn't in the heart of the city which meant it was quiet. My only problem was that the internet wasn't too consistent and I could only use it in the kitchen. For the normal traveler it will be great. For me this was a working vacation so it was a bit more challenging. Luckily, Robi and her mother Lucia were very accommodating and let me work on their upstairs front patio. Robi really made me feel at home and welcome. She even invited me to a beautiful beach with her friends and was generous enough to pop me into Maglie for a train one morning. While she doesn't speak any english, we were able to get buy thank's to google translate. All in all a great stay.
