Review of Riviera Degli Haethey
Reviews from our community
1 review Myself, my wife, my wife's parents and our three children (13, 9, 7) stayed in the apartment for two weeks at the beginning of July. The apartment suited us perfectly. It was clean, had everything we were looking for and had enough space that we didn't feel we were getting caught under each other's feet. The location is perfect with easy access to local supermarkets and a short 5-10 minute stroll into the centre of the town. The beaches, which are only a few hundred metres away, were absolutely perfect for the children as they are well protected, with shallow, crystal clear water. There are also a number of rocky coves providing great diving and snorkelling - one directly across from the apartment. Great to have easy parking also. The view across the bay is stunning, picture postcard stuff! The old town offers a great location for a stroll around at evening time with it's mix of narrow streets, restaurants, old houses and the Cathedral - well worth a visit for the mosaic floor. The town itself is very compact and easy to get around so no real need for a car. If you do hire a car, there is a great drive down to Castro with plenty of little coves etc to stop off at for a swim. The scenery is spectacular. Thanks for a great couple of weeks Audrey and Davide.

The apartment is very clean, well maintained and equipped. Audrey was very helpful in getting us settled and orientated, and was nearby if needed.
Location is excellent - there is a nice beach less than five minutes walk away, and the old town + wonderful beaches are about a five minute walk along the front. The neighbourhood is quiet and residential, with two decent supermarkets nearby.
The apartment is very well suited for young families. It is on the ground floor and there are no steps, so ideal if you have a buggy. Audrey provided a really good quality travel cot and high chair - our four month old slept better than he does at home. Only other points to note is that one of the bedrooms is at the other side of the apartment to the main two bedrooms, so you will not hear any waking baby in the night (could be a good thing) unless you have a baby monitor. And the floors are hard tile throughout so you may need to take that into account with crawlers / toddlers. The nearby beaches are ideal for kids - lovely sand and shallow warm water.
2 reviews This rental has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Good for families or 2 couples. Great location. Extremely close to beaches and center of town. Excellent parking. Otranto is very interesting, great old town, excellent restaurants. Hosts Audrey and David are very friendly, speak English too, are easy to reach in case of problems.

Really nice apartment on the ground floor suitable for both small children and older travellers. We travelled with our 2 and 4 year old daughters and our grandparents. Very quite place close to the sea. We were surprised by variety of the beaches (sand, rocks ... and all within walking distance). For us the advantage also was that it was not far from the centre but very quite in the evening. We could park our car in front of the apartment. We can only recommend this apartment.

We arrived at the end of March and had a week of 22c or 70 degrees warm weather.. The flat is clean and perfectly located one block off the water and ten minutes walk from the city center/village. La Bella Idrusa has the best pizza(one is big enough for 2 people) for 4 euros, plus salad and vino for under 20euros. There is a wonderful cafe less than five minutes walk. The area has good biking and running. We love to cook and the new kitchen was very nice. We were only two, but there is plenty of room for couples and/or a family. We plan on visiting again next year and exploring more of the neighboring villages. So much more to do and see in southern Italy. Davide and Audrey are wonderful hosts and will accommodate the most discerning guests. Thank you for a wonderful week!
