This is the better side of town to be for the easiest walking access to the market, marina and the historic town center and its wonderful restaurants. It is in the residential district where the locals live, close to the Centro Storico and amenities, away from the far side of town which can be busy with tourists in the high season.

Otranto: Otranto itself is a historic, walled city with a lovely castle and cathedral and a stunning seafront. Pretty, cobbled and car-free lanes wind through the compact city and are packed with fantastic restaurants and bars. The town also has beautiful beaches and the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.

Salento: Otranto is also a perfect base to discover and explore the local region of Salento. Highlights include the beautiful coastal road south of Otranto - with views and grottos, it is often likened to the Amalfi coast - and the long sandy beaches north of the town. The gorgeous baroque city of Lecce (the ‘Florence of the South’) is 30 minutes drive away, as is the fishing port of Gallipoli and the beaches and resorts of the west of the peninsula on the Ionian Sea. Among the many other places of interest in the region are the ‘white city’ of Ostuni and the conical trulli of Alberobello, as are the wonderful churches in Galatone and Galatina, and the pretty port of Porto Cesarea.

Puglia: Puglia is unspoilt Italy and is legendary for its food and wine, thanks to its year round sunshine and clear blue waters. The olives, fish and both red and white vino are fabulous and are an integral part of any holiday in the region. The weather is warm throughout the year and July and August are full of festivals and music that celebrate this wonderful town.
