Romantic Hotels in Porto Cesareo

Fantastic breakfast, spacious room, wonderful view of the harbour from the rooftop. We visited Porto Cesareo in September (to escape the crazy beach season). The downtown is small, with great food, gelato and aperitifs a stone’s throw in all directions. Friendly welcome, safe parking for our bicycles.

Conveniently located for us (who travel by car) at about a 10 minute drive from the main beaches in the area and at a great price…

Lovely host, very friendly and accommodating.

The worst experience at this hotel and trust me the proof is in the pictures. On September 18, 2023, I booked my hotel stay in Puglia for 4 nights at Villa Hermosa Hotel. Before booking, I made sure to check all reviews for this hotel. Everything seemed great, the pictures on booking and the reviews seemed promising as well. I booked a standard room with 1 queen bed for my fiancé and me. Long story short, my fiancé and I made our way to our hotel for early check-in. We were both very anxious to finally check in and settle down at our hotel. As soon as we walked into our room, we couldn’t help but notice a tiny, old, and filthy room. Let’s just say that the pictures, services, and amenities that were described by booking, did not match upon our arrival at Hotel Villa Hermosa. Our AC did not work, the room was hot and humid, and the sheets were wet from the humidity. The room was very dirty, there was rust everywhere in the bathroom, our safe did not work, and was not bolted to the wall. The hotel staff knew the issues we had with our room and didn’t bother to come fix it for us. We took a tour of the hotel and couldn't believe how dirty, depressing, and old the pool area looked. The pool was yellow, the hot tub was even worse. To top it off, the hotel manager told us if we needed to use the pool, we had to use a shower cap at all times. It’s clear to say that the pool area was not at all as advertised on booking.com. I felt like I was lied to when I paid for my 4-night stay at this hotel. There was a random stain of blood on the sheets, the comforter was ripped. The bathroom was a disaster, there was rust in the shower, cracks, and hair in the sink. Not to mention, we had no hot water while showering. The chair in the hotel room was falling apart. The rack to hang wet bathing suits was falling off the wall outside of the hotel room. The walls were old and stained. It was not at all what we both expected.

The breakfast was simple and good. The rooms were clean and nice. No complaints about the hotel. Highly recommend. The hotel even provided us with cycles so that we could explore the area. It was great. The beach is 15 minutes away on foot and 5 minutes away by cycle. Great stay!

Confortable, excellent bed and large bathroom. Laura was very helpful and available.
