Otranto apartment
Otranto apartment is a clean, functional apartment in Otranto. Rent a small car as the parking garage is a tight squeeze! Check in process was easy and David was very responsive to our questions. The apartment is close to a grocery store and a 10 minute walk to the beach. The street itself is not scenic but there is a view from the terrace of the forested area beyond apartment.

Gem of Southern Italy
Thanks David for the use of your apartment over the last two week which gavels the chance to discover Otranto which was a real tonic and almost an education how nice towns can be, a lesson to destroyed local economies in the UK. The apartment made everything needed to make the holiday completely enjoyable and the detailed local instructions were such a help. The place is a cool retreat from the lovely but relentless heat outside - everything worked which is such a pleasant thing. Thank you and we will definitely come again.

Perfect location near to historic center
Very convenient and pleasant apartment. Essential to have the garage since in Otranto all parking is pay parking even along the streets, and even then there are never any free spaces! Beautiful sandy beaches about 20 min away but if you don't mind strong wind and waves, you can also brave those in the center of town. The terrace is nice but we weren't too lucky with the weather so we didn't really get to enjoy it. Otranto is rather expensive as far as restaurants go, at least compared to our experience and to other southern cities during this vacation, such as Bari, Trani, Lecce. Owner's instructions were meticulous and very useful but he forgot to say, turn on the fridge using the switch in the kitchen! Manager was very kind and helpful, carrying our suitcase up the stairs.

Convenient otrantro apartment
We had a very nice week in this well equipped apartment which is minutes from shops restaurants & the beach . The apartment had a large roof terrace with views over a green field & an area outside the kitchen with table & chairs . We found David Roche the owner very prompt in answering any queries & a very nice lady agent in Otranto to greet us & show us over . Otranto is a lovely area which we enjoyed very much .

Luminoso appartamento
Luminoso appartamento con una bellissima veranda. Vicino al centro ma lontano dal caos serale, facendo una piccola passeggiata si arriva al mare, al porto, in centro dove ci sono negozi,ristoranti, bar ...... È stato molto utile avere a disposizione il garage. Noi in 4 siamo stati benissimo.

Centro di Otranto, Puglia
Ottima posizione, veramente strategica a pochi passi a piedi dal centro e altrettanto comoda con l'auto per prendere la strada per visitare tutte le località balneari vicine. Indispensabile il box auto in quanto non c'è lo stress di trovare parcheggio. Proprietario e collaboratori molto gentili e disponibili.

Wir waren 2 Wochen in dieser Wohnung und haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt! Großzügige Räume und sehr schöne Terrassen. Alles was man braucht ist vorhanden. Das einzige was vermisst wurde war ein Grill. Ansonsten alles top! Tolle Lage und ganz wichtig war die Garage! Wir haben uns in Otranto verliebt und werden wieder kommen!! Nochmals vielen lieben Dank, David... bis hoffentlich bald.

Thank you so much Pamela, and how nice it is to have Italian visitors to our apartment - we have had guests from over 20 countries in the last 7 years! Do come back and tell your friends. For non-Italian speakers, here's the review in English: "Nice holiday! New apartment well equipped and with many amenities, not far from the center, from the supermarket, from the port. Noteworthy the equipped terrace and the garage, which in a small town like otranto, we found indispensable. Owner and collaborator available and kind." Many thanks again, David & Johanna

buona posizione
siamo stati nell'appartamento due settimane, con due bambine. la posizione è comoda, vicino al porto e al castello e permette di raggiungere il centro a piedi in 10/15 minuti. indispensabile il garage data la difficoltà di parcheggio a Otranto. la casa è carina e spaziosa. i letti ed i cuscini comodi. c'è tutto il necessario ed il supermercato è a 2 minuti a piedi. le terrazze sono grandi, anche se col caldo le abbiamo sfruttate poco. l'aria condizionata è nelle due camere, come descritto. l'acqua calda sempre presente e con un buon getto. pentole e stoviglie in ottime condizioni, sostituirei le padelle. consigliamo solo qualche manutenzione agli split ed alle finestre che si chiudono male. purtroppo la connessione internet non funzionava (nemmeno con l'intervento della delegata del propietario) e ne siamo rimasti sprovvisti. grazie di tutto, Eleonora e famiglia

Tolles grosszügiges Apartment
Wir haben uns in dieser Wohnung sehr schnell wohlgefühlt. Sie ist sehr geräumig und verfügt über zwei tolle Aussichtsterrassen. Um zwei Wochen dort zu verbringen haben wir in der Wohnung alles vorgefunden, was wir benötigt haben. Auch zum Kochen hat es genügend Utensilien, sofern man diese benutzen möchte. Wir haben uns für die andere Art und Weise entschieden, nämlich die vielen guten Restaurants zu unterstützen, die man teilweise innert kürzerster Zeit fussläufig erreichen konnten. Einfach nur "Dolce far niente". David ist ein sehr angenehmer und freundlicher Gastgeber, den man bei Fragen jederzeit kontaktieren kann, sofern die beiden Ansprechspersonen im Salento nicht zu erreichen sind.

Many thanks for your lovely review and I am delighted that you enjoyed both Otranto and our apartment. While the local ingredients in the markets are fantastic, and we also have a small library of great Italian cookbooks in the apartment, the choice of restaurants in talking distance does mean that eating out is irresistible! Here's a translation from the German review above: "Great spacious apartment We felt very comfortable in this apartment. It is very spacious and has two great terraces with views. To spend two weeks there we found in the apartment everything we needed. Also for cooking it has enough utensils, if one wants to use these. We chose the other way, to support the many good restaurants, which could be reached within a short time. Simply "Dolce far niente". David is a very pleasant and friendly host who can be contacted at any time, if the two contact persons in the Salento are not reachable."

Ein erholsamer Urlaub
Ob für das Frühstück oder den Schlummertrunk, wir genossen die große Terrasse. Bedauerlicherweise schlossen in der ersten Oktoberwoche in Otranto viele Cafes/Bars bereits um 20.00 bzw. 21.00 Uhr. Wir freuten uns, dass David Roche schnell auf unsere Anfrage reagierte und uns Straßenkarten und Informationsmaterial zuschickte. Seine im Stadtplan von Otranto notierten Tipps fanden wir sehr hilfreich. Wir fühlten uns durch unseren Vermieter sehr gut betreut.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und wir freuen uns, dass Sie eine tolle Zeit hatten. Zu Besuch im Oktober bedeutet, dass der Hochsaison ist vorbei und die Stadt ist ruhiger. Viele Restaurants beginnen, am Ende des Monats zu schließen, aber es gibt einen harten Kern der hervorragenden Orte, die in ganz offen bleiben, oder zumindest die meisten Tage. Lieblings Monate sind Juni und der ersten Julihälfte, wenn alles öffnet und das Wetter ist herrlich, oder September, wenn es noch sehr schön, alles ist offen, aber nicht zu viel zu tun, und das Meer ist sehr warm.
