Perfect Staff, Location and Facility

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.

Old Town Otranto!

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!
