The hotel is in an excellent location—just 10-minute walk to the old city and castle. The view from the balcony is beautiful, and the area is quiet, which makes for a relaxing stay. There’s free on-site parking, which is a big plus. The rooms are clean and well maintained, with daily towel changes and bed service. Breakfast is included and offers a full, satisfying start to the day. The staff are friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience

I’m not sure if I was the first Chinese guest at this hotel, but my stay felt truly special. The hotel appears to be family-run, and that warmth is felt everywhere. Its location is perfect, right by the sea, and I was lucky enough to witness a breathtaking sunrise from my room. The hotel isn’t brand new, but it’s very well maintained and spotless, which made me feel comfortable immediately. Breakfast was delicious, and even though the elderly hosts don’t speak English, their kindness and genuine hospitality shone through in every interaction. One moment I’ll never forget: the hostess prepared a cup of caffè leccese just for me. It was my first time trying it, and its taste will forever remind me of those beautiful days in the southeastern corner of Italy, with the sea, the blue sky, and that serene, welcoming hotel.

The most perfect holiday destination! A lot of love has gone into this beautiful accomodation.

I loved it all! The view; the rooms were spacious clean brand new! The breakfast was absolutely delicious and so extensive! The staff were just gorgeous! The perfect location for exploring this exquisite part of Apulia! A short walk to the town, and the caves. A beautiful close swimming beach - we could have stayed for weeks exploring the beauty of this region. The accomodation far exceeded my expectations! My whole family looked forward to the beautiful fresh wholesome breakfast every morning with home made cakes and tartes, croissants, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cold meats, museli, bruschetta - it was endless and so delicious! I can not wait to come back and stay here again and again and again! We are a family of four and we all absolutely loved it! The reception is open until late at night (some reviews I had read said it wasn’t however it is). I don’t have the words to articulate how much we loved it. The old olives throughout the exquisite gardens were just so beautiful!

It's nice to have a car for exploring the area but you can also reach the closest beaches and the cute small city enter of Castro by foot.

Great view of the Adriatic sea from our balcony. Very convinient parking and relatively short walk to Castro's centre storico. An incredibly romantic Zinzulus restaurant in the walking distance. Just be careful on the access stairs if you have any walking issues.

Comfortable stay in Castro

The location of the hotel is excellent. We enjoyed the balcony with the beautiful sea view. The old town and supermarket was only a short walk away.

Loverly and accommodating staff, the room was clean and comfortable as the hotel was recently renovated and breakfast was good. Easy walking distance to the sea and Oldtown.
