The owner Luigi, a lovely gentleman who surprised us with his ability to communicate via google Translate. Brilliant. We booked this as a B&B stay but were very happy to discover a full kitchen and a great private sun patio with an outdoor dining space. The room was very comfortable with insect screens on the windows as well as aircon if you needed it. The breakfast was facilitated by the cafe bar a few metres away on the ground floor. Usually, coffee and a croissant or savoury pastry. The location was superb. A minute or so from the safe beach with clear water and sand. Close to shops, restaurants, and cafes. In the other direction, about 50m from the old walled town with many more shops, ice cream parlours, and restaurants. In the residential area behind, there was a small supermarket for groceries. Otranto is a great holiday destination, and this accommodation is in the best place..

Nothing about the accommodation. Just initially, getting from the train station to Balcone su Otranto was a bit of a trek because there were no taxis or buses that we could find and so we resorted to Google maps and a 15-minute walk. But, Luigi, the owner, more than made up for this set back by kindly driving us back to the station at the end of our trip, which was very kind of him.

The location was great, very central and close to everything. The room was clean and spacious.

The balcony is a tiny one, you cannot sit, just stand. We found the owner bit annoying. Arrived there tired after driving many hours and he kept explaining for half an hour how to use a simple key to open the doors and how to open the windows.

Amazing location, sparkling clean, comfy apartment.

the location was good, small terrace with good view, the room & bathroom good & comfortable bed

no extras, like glasses or cups or kettle. a fridge but no complimentary water. no name at the door & checking in was difficult. although the owner had had a mishap on his way to meet us unfortunately. breakfast is by way of chits that are used at the cafe below.

The location of the property is by the beach and one minute walk from historical center. The property has got fully equipped kitchen and little terrace with old town view and also rooftop with the stoning view over the sea . There is cleaning service on a daily basis so the place is super clean, comfortable and superb location.

No criticism

The host Luigi was very friendly and helpful. I travelled with my 15 year old son and the host invited me to call him if I needed anything during my stay. The room was spacious with a sea view. The lodging is close to the historic centre and bars/ shops and also the sea making it a perfect location. I would recommend this accommodation highly.

Beautiful appartment, close to the city center and to the beach, breakfasts at the very nice bar. Very kind and hospitable owners.

Great location. Spacious room. Very helpful and friendly owner and staff. Spotlessly clean.
