Within walking distance from the sea, near the illustrious walls of the ancient borough of Otranto, Appartamento al Bastione is a flat that dates back to 1500, situated on the second floor of a charming court. Recently renovated, with attention to the details and good taste, the flat is so close to the sea that you can easily arrive at the sea and cool down after a stroll in the narrow streets of one of the most beautiful boroughs of Italy or after a hike in the nature. You open the wrought-iron small gate, enter in the courtyard and up one flight of stairs you arrive at the apartment. Once you pass the under-stairs laundry, past the arch that embellishes the hallway, there is the dinging room with kitchenette that includes a microwave oven and dishwasher. The furniture, simple yet looked after, evokes the arte povera and the typical style of the Salentine houses. The old nineteenth-century front door now is the door of a built-in closet and the two eighteenth-century casings are now headboards of the two king-size beds. Past the dining room there is the living room with queen-size sofa bed and then the first master bedroom. The bedrooms share two bathrooms with shower. Up the stairs in the dining room you arrive at the shadowed terrace with view on the roofs of Otranto, where you can eat lunch or dinner. The stairs bring you to the mezzanine floor, where there are a king-size bed and a twin bedroom. Up the stairs from the hallway you arrive to the second mezzanine with single bedroom. The mezzanine floors go from 6,10 feet to 3,3 feet tall. The flat is also equipped with washing machine and air conditioning (hot or cold) which makes the flat ideal for every season, even spring or autumn when the town shows its most suggestive and less tourist side. In the historical center of Otranto, where narrow streets full of and many different shops, you will find this apartment, comfortable holiday house, right in front of the sea and just a few meters from the beaches and lidos.
The location of the house is magnificent, located in the central square of the old town of Otranto and just 50 meters from a platform serves as a natural sundeck, also allowing you to easily immerse yourself in the beautiful crystal clear waters.
The apartment is set on the second floor of a small court. Upon entering, hallway leads into the dining room with practical kitchenette supplied with all accessories such as electric oven, microwave and dishwasher. Continuing, an area with a sofa bed, the master bedroom and two full bathrooms with shower.
From the living room, a set of stairs leads to the well equipped terrace ideal for al fresco dining overlooking the alleys of the old town. The same flight of stairs also leads to a large loft with a double bed and two single beds.
In the hallway, a second staircase leads to the second floor loft with a single bed.
The apartment is very comfortable and as well as being in an enviable position also has all the accessory: the kitchen is very well equipped, with washing machine and ironing board, for a holiday in total comfort and relaxation!
To be noticed that the height of the two lofts attic goes from 6.88 to approximately 3.3 feet so, it is not possible to stand up everywhere.

Wonderful appartment with fantastic terrass and very good location!
The appartment corresponds with photos and information on the website. We are very pleased. It was great to walk directly out on the sea walk in the morning to se the marvellous blue and green sea and in the night to meet strolling people, the dark sea and the lit houses. We spent a lot of time on our terrass where we had both breakfast, yoga, dinner or just a break. From the terras it was fun to follow the movements and noices of the city from above. We had a good view over one of the busiest walking streets of Otranto. We bathed at the beach but found it better to swim directly from the quay outside the appartment where it was easy to find both shadow and sun. It is walking distance to smaller shops where we could find everything we needed and by car you can reach Eurospin - a big supermarket - on 5 minutes. The only negative thing was that the bedrooms on the upper floor were warm at night as the air condition over the stairs did not reach them enough. In spite of this we could highly recommend this accomodation.

Uitstekende woning midden in het stadje Otranto
De woning is uitstekend.
Wij waren met z'n tweeen en dan vind ik de woning perfect.
Voor meerdere mensen is er een prima slaapgelegenheid, maar men moet niet te lang zijn. Dan is het niet altijd even handig, maar hoeveel tijd besteed je uiteindelijk in je slaapkamer.
Het terras bij het appartement is perfect. Je hebt de gehele dag zon, maar de gedeeltelijke overkapping zorgt voor genoeg schaduw.
Alle faciliteiten van het stadje Otranto zijn binnen loopafstand.
Parkeren is wel een dingetje in Otranto. Wij hebben met de opzichter van de de parkeerplaats een prijs af kunnen spreken. Anders wordt parkeren voor 1,50 euro per uur wel erg duur.
De auto uitladen met bagage is ook niet heel handig. Het centrum is voor verkeer afgesloten. Maar de kleine puntjes die ik aangeef zijn absoluut geen punt om dit appartement niet te boeken. Wij hebben een uitstkende vakantie gehad.
