Hier ist es wunderschön! Ideal für einen mehrtägigen Kurzaufenthalt ohne Spitzenansprüche. Zwei Minuten zum Strand und zu den wunderschönen Felsenklippen mit Badegelegenheit. Glasklares Wasser!! Das Hotel ist sauber, das Essen im Restaurant gut. Leider spricht man wenig englisch. Nahe der östlichsten Stadt Italiens, Otranto, mit wunderschöner kleiner Altstadt mit Hafen. In der Altstadt zwei Kirchen, sehr unterschiedlich, aber höchst sehenswert. Wir trauten unsern Augen nicht: im Hafen hat es Sandstrände, das Wasser wie in der Karibik. ##### Guido Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Salvatore Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Salvatore Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025
