8/10 Good
"Endroit très bien situé face à la mer - accès facile - plage bien entretenue. Piscine très belle - jeux appréciés des jeunes. Le boardwalk superbe pour la marche et voir les couchers de soleil. Une vraie station balnéaire. Chambre très propre - la salle de bains a besoin d’amour - les portes de douche brisées et à peine fonctionnelles. Un renouveau s’impose. Les vitres des couloirs sont soit sales, soit défectueuses. On voyait à peine à travers. L’internet dans notre chambre très déficient pendant nos 3 nuits malgré nos doléances. Le café dans la salle à manger servi par des grosses machines qui ont fait défaut - loin du statut du bon café italien. Le buffet était très adéquat. L’homme des omelettes efficace et professionnel - très serviable. Stationnement facile autour de l’hôtel."

Puglia - Private villa with private pool, close to the sea and olive groves

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment I arrived, the kindness and thoughtfulness of Antonio and Assunta were amazing - thank you for looking after me, your advice and kind offers. The villa itself was in a beautiful and tranquil location, with everything you could need. There was even a roof terrace with a beautiful view down to the sea. The large garden area had lots of different areas to sit outside and enjoy, including a pond and rockery which Antonio had built himself. The seafront and beach at Torre Vado could be reached on foot (about 2km downhill on quiet roads) - a great place to go for a swim, to eat or for a drink. The kitchen was very well-equipped and there was a lovely bowl of fresh fruit and some wine to welcome me. It was a great location from which to explore the coastline - Gallipoli, Otranto, Santa Maria di Leuca and only an hour from the beautiful city of Lecce which was well worth a day trip. Some great recommendations for places to eat from Antonio and places to visit.Antonio was always available for help or questions, but was also discreet and careful not to disturb. Very kind hosts and a truly beautiful place to stay for ten days.Grazie mille per tutti !"
