Nicola's apartment was perfect for our family of 5. The location was perfect to the old town and the beaches beyond. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening looking over the castle walls. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. AC in each room was used a few times, but overall not needed due to the nice breeze. The wash machine was very useful and our clothing dried in minutes on the roof top patio. The kitchen was well appointed (thank you for the espresso packets!). Nicola went above and beyond. He waited for us to arrive and saved the parking spot on the street immediately below the apartment which made unloading luggage so easy. In the late evening, the parking in the area clears out, but during the time of our arrival, it would have been more difficult to find a spot. Driving was not necessary. Easy walk to all restaurants, grocery, beach etc. We loved our stay in Otranto! Nicola, thank you for all you did to make our stay very special.
