Le Terrazze in Otranto

We stayed here for 1 week and overall had a good experience.

• The apartment is nice and spacious, with 2 air conditioners (one in the bedroom and one in the living area).
• The bathroom is also spacious, with a door separating the toilet/shower/bidet from the sink and mirror.
• The location is convenient: about a 5–7 minute walk from a large parking lot (€5/day + €5/night), a supermarket just a few minutes away, and in 5–7 minutes you can reach the seaside with restaurants and bars.
• The kitchen is well equipped, though note there are no basics such as salt, pepper, etc. (We left a bottle of oil and a lighter, as the gas stove needs one, as well as a parasol for the next guests to use at the beach).
• The possibility to do laundry (available from 5–8pm).
• Another plus is the rooftop terrace where we chilled in evening. Very nice !

Downsides:
• The apartment we had was on the lower ground floor. The balcony faces a wall and passageway to the garage, so there’s no view or much natural air.
• The bed, while fairly comfortable, is very noisy and creaks with every movement — not ideal for light sleepers.
• There is a free garage space under the building, but it’s extremely tight. With four spaces in use, it’s nearly impossible to maneuver even a small/medium car. We couldn’t use it and had to rely on the paid parking nearby.
• FYI, make sure to keep screen doors closed to avoid the mosquitoes.
