Overview
La Rosa Antica bed and breakfast lies in medieval Castro, a cliff-top, seaside village with spectacular views of the coast, 30 minutes from Otranto and Lecce. Offering well-decorated, elegant rooms which have recently been renovated, La Rosa Antica is just a short walk (800m) from a pebble beach. Beautiful sandy beaches and interesting caves are also located just a few kilometres away. La Rosa Antica is a charming and unique base for exploring Salento. As well as the pretty old town, with its old castle and churches, this bed and breakfast is also within easy reach of bars, clubs and restaurants. As a guest here you will even enjoy a special discount at a lovely seafront restaurant.

Very welcoming host Maria! Impeccably clean room, with many little details that are thought for guest's comfort. The location is great to visit a city, and finding a public parking was quite easy. The nearest beach is about 15 minutes walk. And of course, the breakfast is so good, it is out of this world!

“Absolutely Fabulous”
Unexpectedly fabulous for so many reasons. Firstly the basics… easy parking right outside, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, value for money, super quiet, spacious room, fabulous breakfast, walking distance to a quaint square perfect for dinner. But this description wouldn’t do it justice. Our room was divine. The layout, decoration and attention to detail was truly fabulous. The photos don’t do it justice. Every square inch of the place is spotless, decorated with ornate furniture mixed with traditional pieces and homely ornaments that add character. The owners live on site and prepared the most delicious breakfast ‘feast’ of carefully selected foods to suit every palette- sweet, savoury, hot & cold, fresh daily, served on a trolley individually prepared for you in a kitchen dining area adding to that home experience. The street is safe, quiet, ample parking which suited us as we used it as a base to drive out to neighbouring areas. The owners used Google translate to make sure to give us correct information and communicate in a way that made us feel completely welcome. We were able to store our luggage after checkout for several hours before heading off on the rest of our trip. This place is a quaint little gem and I’m so glad we chose this option over a hotel experience. 10/10!

“Best place to stay in Puglia!”
This is was greatest stay in our trip to Puglia in Italy - we had 5 different places and that is best to the best! If you are someone, who want to stay in place, where you have just EVERYTHING (balcony. great breakfast, very comfrotable and very nice room to stay in, near to beautiful city Castro Marina and Zinzulusa Cave) - you just find it! Maria - host was so kindly to us! She can't speak fluently in English, but she try to do it and just take translator if she must say something. Also, the host ask us when we want to eat breakfast and what we want to breakfast, which was something new to us! In room we have everything you can have on vacation. It was very clean, very calm and quiet, we have parking spot on the street but there was small traffic.

“Very kind host, nice rooms, the best breakfast”
Very kind host, we felt really welcomed there. Breakfast was the best we've ever had. She baked her own pastry and eggs, anything you wanted! Rooms were also very comfortable and clean, we recommend this place to everybody.

“Warm welcome”
Maria was a wonderful host! The property is exceptionally clean and welcoming. My friend and I arrived hot and dusty from walking a stage of the Cammino del Salento, so our ready to go room and spotless bathroom was a real treat! Walking distance to all restaurants/bars and places of interest on the Alto. There’s a little shuttle train to transport you to the Marina.
