Everything was just perfect

The host Mariella and Vitoria were fantastic and catered to all our needs. There were some really nice touches that we appreciated like wine, fruit and water on our arrival. The accommodation was as described. The flat was clean, comfortable and in a good state of repair. It was quiet in the flat and we slept well. The location is perfect for the beach, restaurants and restaurants of town. We recommend this place !!!

Excellent!

We really enjoyed our stay in Otranto and the accommodation was perfect! Mariella and her daughter welcomed us warmly and explained all around the flat and gave us some great restaurants recommendations and places to visit. They are very passionate about the city and the area. The flat was extremely comfortable and very well located, very close to the beach and very close to the city, the castle and all the restaurant (all within a very short walking distance). We could not have asked for better. We loved our stay in Otranto and can't wait to come back!

Wonderful apartment in perfect location.

We spent a week in this property allowing us to explore the lovely Otranto. The balcony was perfect with views over the Cathedral, which was great for people watching but also surprisingly peaceful morning and evening. The interior of the apartment has been attractively renovated and travelling as two couples it was a very comfortable space. The host was very helpful and organised transport from the airport and we were met by his representative Sylvia on arrival who helped orientate us and was at the end of the phone if needed. It is right in the centre of town, near the beach with numerous restaurants to choose from on the doorstep. I would thoroughly recommend.
