"Best get a cab from the stazione which is NOT handicapped friendly. (Also, it’s a long downhill/uphill walk.) The entrance to the hotel doesn’t correspond to the given address (one entrance on the side street, the other on the back street of the given address. Otherwise, it was a well situated seaside location with a friendly and cooperative staff. Walkable and convenient to cafes and restaurants. "
"Nice modern property, fairly large hotel so does lack the intimacy of a smaller hotel. Dinners were quite good and the waitress in the dining area was wonderful. The old bartender in the lobby is a grump. Good spot to use for touring the area. South on the coast road was amazing. 15-minute walk to town, so handy to have a car or taxi."
"Absolutely lovely hotel just outside the old town of Otranto. Beautifully designed and very comfortable with 2 levels of outdoor patio with seaside views. There is a gym and spa and a jacuzzi for use (small fee). Great breakfast and comfortable beds! "
"Came in with little expectation and they blew me away. From the check in greeting with drinks to the entertainment for kids from the outstanding food/beverage options - the hotel over summer was highlight of our trip!"

A verified traveller stayed at Relais Valle dell'Idro
"I’ll start with the pros: excellent location, breakfast was good with some pastries and some meats, cheeses, yogurt and fruit. Pool was big and the bartenders and thé breakfast staff were great and very friendly.
Hotel was clean and parking was free and easy right in front of the hotel
Cons- beds were rock hard, pillows were very limp. Stayed three nights here and had horrible sleep. The air con was hardly working and it was very hot in the room, barely blowing out air. The fridge was also not working well and warm at best. We called down for an iron and never got one. The room lacked a coffee maker or tea kettle and it was supposed to come with robes and slippers. The room was minimal and bare. To top everything the front desk staff was miserable and rude. Didn’t seem to want to help or say hello or goodbye upon entering or even smile. Did not make our stay enjoyable. Probably would look elsewhere to stay next Time"
A verified traveller stayed at Hotel Vittoria Resort Pool & Spa
"Lovely quiet place, just outside of the city. We had the best breakfast that we’ve ever had in Italy. Fabulous choice and very fresh. Dinner and wine was very good, although limited to a fish menu. Thought it was good value for money."
