Amazing stay in old town Otranto. You will park outside about 400 meters away, but it’s an easy walk to the hotel from there. Incredible view from the terrace on the roof, and clean comfortable rooms with extra pillows, blankets, and plenty of closet space. A very nice breakfast is offered with both a buffet and off of the menu items. Coffee was plentiful and we were close to nice views of the sea from our balcony. Loved our visit here!

L’hotel non rispecchiava totalmente le foto pubblicate sul sito . Hotel sicuramente antico ma poco curato nei dettagli ( per esempio mobilio, bagno). Sicuramente non conforme agli standard di come si intende un hotel 5 stelle. Colazione poco fornita, mancanza di acqua gratuita in camera. Servizio trasporto bagagli dal parcheggio complicato e poco comodo.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and made our stay special. They offered us tickets to the Jazz Festival that was playing and really made extra efforts to make our stay special. The staff was very able to communicate with us as English speakers and made us feel very comfortable. Thank you.

This is an awesome hotel with even more awesome staff. Location is perfect in the historic center of Otranto. Staff, from my first telephone call asking where to park, to the friendly and kind staff on the rooftop lounge and breakfast area were fantastic. Special compliment to Peppe for recommending a place to watch the Champions League semi finals.
