We called to have a room that was not noisy, but when we arrived and checked in, they placed us into the first room closest to the front desk. We were awakened by people checking out and music during breakfast. Additionally, the shower was incredibly small and it was hard to move around in. This is our biggest complaint. Otherwise, the hotel room was clean and complementary breakfast was decent.

Wonderful Otranto hotel

Absolutely lovely hotel just outside the old town of Otranto. Beautifully designed and very comfortable with 2 levels of outdoor patio with seaside views. There is a gym and spa and a jacuzzi for use (small fee). Great breakfast and comfortable beds!

The hotel and staff are great- but the rooms are tiny. There was nowhere to store clothes- the wardrobe space was open and set about six feet off the floor. The clothes hangers were fixed so I had to scramble onto a seat to get my clothes. I am 5 feet so no use for me.

Fantastic

My wife and I are very selective. We were surprised to read some mixed reviews of this hotel. It was perfect. The room was small but clean and positive and great. The bathroom and shower were wonderful. The staff was charming. And the location, perfect. I took morning swims and it was a less than ten minute walk to the beautiful beaches. The same for the town. I would recommend this hotel as the perfect place to stay in Otranto and of all the towns we’ve seen in Puglia, Otranto the ideal seaside town
