Casa Sophia Panoramic Terrace and Elegant Stay in the Heart of Otranto
Casa Sophia Panoramic Terrace and Elegant Stay in the Heart of Otranto"Fantastic location overlooking the port and the castle. Overall, very good value for money. With a little effort, it could be superb. The bed linen, whilst very clean, was very worn and paper pillow cases on the spare pillows let it down. Some of the electrical appliances seemed to have the wrong sort of plug - northern rather than southern European, so difficult to use and concerns re forcing them into the sockets. Otranto makes a very good base for exploring the local countryside."

Masseria Longa Boutique Hotel
"I stayed here with my two young children and honestly we couldnโt have had a more wonderful stay. The facilities are beautiful and impeccably maintained with real attention to detail. The pool area is a dream and our hotel room was wonderful, spacious, clean and had its own terrace, hot tub and Turkish bath. The staff are amazing, Luigi the owner and his family couldnโt do enough for us, were warm, caring, generous and made sure every part of our stay was taken care of. We ate numerous times at the masseria and the food was fresh, tasty and made with love. They catered perfectly for my celiac daughter making sure she could eat healthily and gluten free. I canโt thank them enough and thoroughly recommend."
