Everything was great during our stay at Hotel Europa Taranto. The staff was always very helpful, and a special thanks goes to Alessandra for her kindness. Even though we arrived a bit early and the room wasn’t ready yet, we were warmly welcomed with age-appropriate drinks for the whole family. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we had nothing to complain about — a truly pleasant experience.

FAQs about hotels in Salento

A Magic Southern Jewel

Comprising the south part of Italy’s Region of Puglia, the Salento peninsula is located in the ‘heel’ of the Italian ‘boot’. With an unusual and beautiful landscape, it also has traditions shaped by explorers and invaders from a variety of cultures that reached its coasts.

If Salento is a jewel, the main piece is definitely the city of Lecce. Its walled historic centre is greatly admired for the uniqueness of its Baroque style. It also has a Roman theatre and a Greek amphitheatre, both still in use. Try a hotel in Lecce’s old town and go back in time!

Blessed with the waters from the Ionian and the Adriatic seas, its rocky coves and small sandy inlets contrast with the light blue waters. Popular beach hotels in Puglia’s Salento region are located near the Alimini Lakes and the Portoselvaggio Bay.

Other important coastal areas are Porto Cesareo, Torre dell'Orso, Santa Maria di Leuca and Santa Cesarea Terme. Gallipoli and Otranto deserve a visit not only for their beaches, but also because of their beautiful historic centres, mostly shaped during the Aragonese domination of the area.

It was so lovely everything being single storey. Such a sense of space and escape. The food was so great. Some of the buffet can be a bit underwhelming, but when you figure out which of the counters to go to for the best food, you're on to a winner. The speciality stall at lunch was incredible. The apertivo times were so good. Such amazing variety. And to cook pasta on mass and still be brilliantly at dente is super impressive. The flavours were amazing, the olive oil available for the tables was so delicious. The staff were all so lovely and accommodating. The kids club and the entertainment activities were so much fun. The beach is small but paradise. The main pool is amazing. Always more than enough sunbeds and umbrellas, and an excellent temperature.

The hotel was a perfect choice for our stay—it's spacious, with several inviting pool areas and a private beach just 300 meters away. I especially enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the afternoon and having a delicious lunch by the seaside. The service was attentive, and the rooms were comfortable and well-kept, plus parking was very easy. Just a quick tip: when approaching the hotel district, you'll need to pass through green gates, so keep an eye out for those. Also, I highly recommend spending some time in Ostuni town—it's small but absolutely charming, and only a 15–20 minute drive from the hotel.

Me and my boyfriend stayed for a long weekend in May at this beautiful, truly private, magical place and we had the best time. The people, especially the host, Adriano, were extremely kind, warm and welcoming, it was hard to leave. The property is stunning, a dreamy place with history, the rooms we saw (we had to switch at some point) were very classy and beautiful. The perfect place to charge batteries, also, incredible food.

Breakfast is divine. A healthy selection of fruit, yogurt, juices and the most inviting selection of pastries. I loved the grounds and patios - so beautifully decorated with large pottery urns overflowing with blossoms. I loved listening to the bees buzzing and the birds singing when I first wake up of a morning and seeing all the colourful blossoms - particularly the brilliant bougainvilleas.

Unfortunately in mid-March we hid a week of rain. Even under the rain the city appears majestic. The people are friendly and like to explain what locals eat and do. We went to a wine tasting (La Strada Del Vino Wine Bistrot, Via Giacomo Matteotti 23a, Lecce, 73100) that was wonderful and had lunch there (delicous!). We went back later to buy some of the wine we tasted. The owner remembered us and was very friendly. Across the bistrot was a yarn store where I could finally buy more yarn! I walked around the city at night, in the dark, all by myself (woman, 60 yo) and had absolutely no problem. When looking for directions, the locals are quick to help. Wonderful city, highly recommended.

If you like exploring a city by walking, it's an excellent choice for you. You are within 10-15 minutes walk to most sites of interest in Brindisi if you stay in the historical centre. And it's a good base to use for visiting the surrounding area..Lecce, Oria, Otranto, etc. I especially enjoyed walks around the harbour and taking a ferry across to the Monument to the Sailor, having a coffee & pastry at Valentino Café just behind the monument.

I was once during summer with sunny days but is also very busy but has a lot of nice beaches and other things to see in the area in short distances. Winter is different Can be cold and rainy and a lot of restaurants closed and limited tourists. But much less traffic than In summer but allows for much more to see when driving around e.g. from Bari all the way down to Brindisi, Lecce and Gallipoli. Ocean from both sides Adriatic and Ionian see and relative short distances e.g. Lecce to Gallipoli 40km. Always good food with different cultures, nice old towns etc.

Visited during Easter holidays.

Visited during Easter holidays. We found an interesting mix of old (the historic centre is great!) and new (on Sunday evening there were at least 2 locations with live DJ music where lots of young people were dancing and enjoying the moments while in the morning there was no one in those areas - it was like two opposite faces of the same small town). Thea beaches are sandy with clear turquoise water.

Nice beaches, plenty of fast food vendors, or dine-in restaurants if you prefer. Beaches were very clean, and locals very helpful. Prices were very reasonable too, with local shops providing local produce. For a real treat, try Cosimino Restaurant on Via Cosimo Albano; you can book a table overlooking the sea - its great food, and a fabulous atmosphere. It was not a noisy resort, in fact, we thought it was quiet, however, on weekends there was live music after dark. If you are planning a stay, Porto Cesareo is the perfect place to unwind and capture some Italian sunshine.

Cisternino itself is a very lovely cittadina and ideally placed to visit all the towns around such as Ostuni, Ceglie M, Alberobello (although this is like Disneyland), Locorotondo, M. Franca, Monopoli and Putignano, or even Bari. It's also not far from Salento which I combined with this trip and did Lecce, Otranto, Oria, Gallipoli, Castro, S. Maria di Leuca. It is also only just over an hour to Matera which should not be missed and a unique town very much worth the time and kms. There are plenty of restaurants in Cisternino and for your morning coffee e brioche don't miss going to Vignola History or visit the panificio Vignola for a delicious freshly made panino and other treats that will put plenty of padding on the hips.

A truly beautiful place, so much to see and some great restaurants. The museums, churches, architecture all beautiful. I would say three days would be ideal, an excellent place for a short break. Traffic into the old town is restricted across the middle opf the day, which enhances the appeal.
