We didn’t have a chance to meet the host in person, we only communicated via chat. Francesca doesn’t speak English, but thanks to Airbnb chat-translator this wasn’t a problem. She arranged another person to pick us up at a gas station and show us the parking place and the house. He didn’t speak English either, so the communication was a bit difficult, but we managed it. Francesca’s place is located in the beautiful historical center of Otranto, which makes it impossible to drive or park in the adjacent streets. Therefore we were very thankful to the host for showing us the parking place, which was paid and guarded. It cost 14€ for two days. The person who picked us up took our baggage from the parking place to the apartment and also offered to drive us, but we decided to walk since it wasn’t too far. Francesca’s place was nice and clean. Its location is really beautiful, on a hill in the historical center, just a few meters from all the restaurants, shops and the city’s social life. And of course the sea. I definitely recommend this place when visiting Salento.
