The owners Mario and Lucia couldn't have been more charming and helpful but they are not resident so it's more like an Air B&B . Breakfast is served at a very nice café a short walk away overlooking the harbour and consists of a beverage and a pastry. We found the location extremely convenient, plenty of parking and with the added bonus of a blue flag beach about 200 metres away. Whilst there are many positives there are some issues, the bathrooms are in need of refurbishment and the tired beds and mattresses need replacing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Jul 12, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overnatting Otranto I and my wife traveled in Puglia by car and stopped for 1 night I Otranto.
