Before we chose the apartment we asked Marco for some info about the area, he was really easy to communicate with. As we were traveling with a toddler, we were looking for a place he would be able to play around a bit and near the beach. The town has 2 small playgrounds (1 of which had some shade, the other is in the sun the whole day). The town was so small that there was not a lot to do for our son, so we drove to other places, mainly Otranto. If you are looking for a lively town with options to shop, have an Italian ice cream or go out for dinner, this is not the village to choose. There's a great but small Cafe right around the corner for a cup of coffee /cappuccino and Italian breakfast in the morning. And a small supermarket with bakery next to the house, very convenient! The house itself is nicely decorated and fully equipped, a very nice place to stay!
