    Nothing- we would stay again!

    We were greeted so warmly and kindly offered an earlier check in and good advice on local restaurants and a boat trip - breakfast was beautiful and varied.

    The owner/Manager allowed us to check in earlier. We had a hard time parking in a small spot (normal in Italy) and he was kind enough to park the car for us. Gave us a map and some recommendations for restaurants.

    The size of the room and the size of the beds.

    The location is near the old town known as "Centro Storico". The staff is very nice. The breakfast is good with many delicious local home made dishes. Nearby there is a parking lot "Castello Otranto Parcheggio" and the cost is 4 Euro for the stay, even it will be couples of days.

    Perfect location for old town and beach just minutes away. On street free parking possible. Owners are the best who really care for guests. Home baked goodies for breakfast which is plentiful and tasty. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Highly recommended.

    Happy with everything

    Highly recommended. Ideally located, 5 -10 mins walk from historical centre. Room was very clean and comfortable as was the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent, a good selection of home made cakes/pastries along with cereal and fruits/ham/cheese etc, all served in a lovely little dining area. There was also a nice little front garden area with further dining tables and comfortable seating. Communication was excellent. Marco was very friendly, the perfect host providing a personal service by helping with transfers to and from the airport and making recommendations for things to do/places to eat. Also, he kindly provided early check-in/late check-out to tie in with our flights. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again!

    Nice small hotel within a walking distance from the old city. We were greeted personally by the owner on arrival. The staff was extremely helpful. The room was spacious and clean. A bottle of water in the fridge was a nice extra. Parking is possible for free on the street (although it is very difficult to find a place). We eventually left our car at the paid parking (6 euro per 24 hours) nearby (5 minutes walk)

    There was a bad smell coming from the drain in the bathroom which caused the room to smell funny.

    Lovely and welcoming check in staff who kindly carried our bags up the stairs. Room was very clean and comfortable. Shutters were great to make the room really dark. Good location with easy walking distance into old town. Lovely breakfast!! Better than we expected!
