“Cute, quaint, clean and welcoming staff!”

This is the cutest hotel in the middle of farms in rural southern Italy. The distance to the beach is perfect, only a mile or two down the road. The rooms are small but quaint. The only suggestion I do have is to have additional seating arranged in the room for colder spring nights. The room was unique with the old walls peering through the new stucco. They clean them twice a week and are happy to provide additional towels and blankets upon request. The grounds are well kept, with a pool and plenty of seating around the gardens. If you exercise every day like we’re accustomed to doing, there isn’t a lot of walking space unless you’re willing to risk your like on narrow Italian rural roads, which I definitely would not recommend. The staff is so very pleasant though only one speaks English. They all attempt to understand as best as possible and will do whatever in their power to be sure their guests are happy and comfortable. Ask for Mery if you need assistance with English/Italian translation. She was always ready willing and able. We did not eat dinner in the dining area, mainly because I’m vegetarian and their dishes did not accommodate my eating habits, though breakfast was always fresh and plenty, with Lisa and SiMona were always ready to assist, Clem up and Bri g cappuccino’s with a simple nod. Love the staff! I also have to mention Pierluigi who brought in our luggage and checked to be sure we had everything we needed. They do have a clean pool, and although it was clean and looked inviting, it was a bit too cold to swim.

“Peaceful retreat”

We used our timeshare to spend 4 nights here during our 10 day road trip through Puglia. Beautiful location, quiet grounds.

We used our timeshare to spend 4 nights here during our 10 day road trip through Puglia. Beautiful location, quiet grounds. We were given room 131, center of the courtyard and not far from the bar, which was convenient. Rooms were clean and basic but comfortable. We had dinner one night at the restaurant - a lot of food (4 course) for €35 pp. The food was very good and service was great. Continual breakfast is also available, with lots of choices (€7), We did not make it to the resort beach but all the beaches in the area were really clean with soft sand and calm waters. It was end of season so we went to Lido Bora Bora which still had an open restaurant. Staff was very accommodating and no issues with our poor English to Italian. Overall a lovely stay and a nice break not to have to pack and move every day. You’ll need a car to explore, but we found it a great location to go to Gallipoli, Otranto, and Lecce.

“Puglian charmia”

Vietimme tässä hotellissa käyttäen osa-aikaista vaihtoa. Koska huoneessa ei ollut keittiötilaa ja hotellin suhteellisia etäisyyksiä, olimme pääasiassa vain huoneissa ja muutamia vaihtoehtoja virvokkeille. Ei juuri sitä, mitä odotimme suunnittelun aikana annettujen tietojen perusteella. Joten ravint… lisää

Vietimme tässä hotellissa käyttäen osa-aikaista vaihtoa. Koska huoneessa ei ollut keittiötilaa ja hotellin suhteellisia etäisyyksiä, olimme pääasiassa vain huoneissa ja muutamia vaihtoehtoja virvokkeille. Ei juuri sitä, mitä odotimme suunnittelun aikana annettujen tietojen perusteella. Joten ravintolan laatu oli tärkeä. Aamiainen oli hyvä, vähän vaihtelua, mutta hyvä valikoima (kylmää) ruokaa. Päivällinen oli kuitenkin melko vaihteleva, vaikka kohtuullisella hinnalla kiinteälle neliportaiselle valikolle. 1600-luvulta peräisin olevasta rinteiden maalaistalosta kehitetystä hotellista oli myötätuntoisesti sisustettu ja sisustettu mukavasti, mutta siinä oli monia askeleita - jotka antoivat hyvää liikuntaa! Spa, rakennettu pieni luola, näytti kauniilta, mutta oli riittämätön. Pääsy uima-altaaseen ja ulos jättämisestä edellytti indeksointia yhden metrin karkean kalliorakenteen alla; sauna oli viihtyisä ja istui kaksi kertaa peräkkäin yhtä paljon tilaa kuin kaksi lentoyhtiön talouspaikkaa, ja "Emotional" suihku ei ollut sellaista. Huonoin oli kuitenkin lämmin turkkilainen sauna, jossa seisomaan huoneeseen. Henkilökunta oli poikkeuksetta hyvin lähestyttävissä, reaktiivinen ja ystävällinen ja tarjosi erinomaista palvelua.

“Casual, Quiet, nothing fancy but more than adequate”

We are an older couple: 70 and 77, so we aren’t as adventurous as the younger set. We did a week of timeshare trade to southern Italy with Interval International. We rented a car, and while driving here I realized it’s not in Lecce but an hour past it! I guess I didn’t look too carefully at the location since we’d never been here before (from the U.S.). It’s much more remote than I expected. They gave us a room without too many steps, which was very accommodating. The people working here are wonderful, although very few speak English. We mostly used our hands and a few words. We are still getting the hang of Google translate. The beach resort associated with this resort is really nice! We spent a lot of time there. They have healthier food, with salads and fruit, which we didn’t get at the resort dinners. (We skipped the continental breakfast at the resort and went to the beach for lunch.) The only fruit for sale we could find anywhere nearby was at the beach restaurant! The locals at the markets said you buy fruit only on Saturdays! Since I eat fruit for breakfast, hearing this was a shock. In retrospect, I’d only stay here for 4 days and spend time north of here near Alberobello, etc. it’s an hour to Lecce and Otranto from here so we won’t get to see the Puglia north of here before we leave for Naples tomorrow on the train in Lecce.
