Outstandingly clean and quaint boutique hotel in the heart of beautiful Otranto. The entire staff is friendly, helpful, very professional and courteous. Breakfast on the breathtaking rooftop including local delights like Pasticciotto should not be missed. The staff provided recommendations to amazing beaches, sights, restaurants, etc.

This hotel is beautiful with an amazing rooftop restaurant. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and you cannot beat the location in the heart of Otranto's historic district. The breakfast on the rooftop every morning is amazing! It was a great 3 night stay and perfect place to explore everywhere Otranto had to offer.
