    Nothing really. But maybe just to say that the room we were in was very comfortable but very plainly decorated/furnished. It seems that they could make a little more of the large room. However not a problem unless you are expecting luxury.

    The hosts are as friendly and knowledgeable as the reviews suggest - really nice people and genuinely seem to enjoy talking to their guests. This helps create a convivial atmosphere where the guests talk to each other too. Big room, comfortable bed and good shower. Secure storage for bicycles in the garage. Superb breakfast with local products and savoury and sweet choices. Very close to the town and seafront. Good wifi.

    Host (Domenico & Erika) were absolutely fantastic and made this our most memorable stay during our 2 week tour across Apulia. They were very welcoming and provided a wealth of information about Otranto and the region. The room had all required amenities and the breakfast was delicious. Domenico introduced us to the local specialty, caffe Leccese. B&B is only minutes away from the beach.

    Nothing, it was perfect!

    We had an absolutely delightful stay! Domenico was incredibly warm and welcoming, ensuring our comfort and making certain we had everything we needed. The room was impeccably clean and spacious, and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. We were especially grateful for the air conditioning, which was a lifesaver in the warm weather, allowing us to sleep soundly in a cool room. Upon our arrival, Domenico treated us to a delicious caffé Leccese, which was simply perfect for sipping in the sunny weather. We'd definitely have it again! The breakfast spread was fantastic, offering a wide variety of bread, croissants, fruits, and more. Our stay was nothing short of fantastic! If we ever find ourselves back in Puglia, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Another great feature is the on-site parking, and the beach and restaurants are conveniently within walking distance, as well as being close to town. I wholeheartedly recommend this charming place! Grazie mille, Domenico!

    Everything was absolutely perfect 🥰

    The Host Dominico and Erika his daughter are the greatest people we've ever met. They are the most warm, welcoming, friendliest and they cater to your every little need. Beautiful room, terrific location and free parking in their yard. I would give them a much much higher rating. They are sincerely considered our cherished friends forever.

    Location was excellent, close to beach, old town, restaurants, shops and train/bus station. Hosts were lovely, very friendly and gave excellent recommendations. Breakfast was also delicious including the almond coffee made fresh by Dominico every morning! Courtyard was also great, especially for drying beach ware. Room was spotless, comfy bed, fridge and air conditioning. Would 100% stay again when travelling to Otranto, definitely recommend to other travellers.

    The host is an absolutely fantastic person. Greeted us with a coffee, and shared a lot of great info about the city and region - the history, the places to visit. The room was very clean. The location is close to the city center but still very calm. A great place to explore Salento. The breakfast was very reach - a great choice of cheese and fruits- very tasty.

    We didn't like having to leave

    I can not recommend Dom and his daughter more highly. Absolutely wonderful hosts. We're always their to answer any questions, provide information or just simply a wonderful chat. Best hosts we have ever come across. The bnb is clean, modern and gave you the homely feel. We were very sorry to leave. Thankyou Dom and daughter for having us. Jenny and Kirk Hormann (Australia)
