Hotel overview
Located within walking distance of Otranto’s historic landmarks, this stylish 4-star hotel effortlessly blends modern elegance with traditional Mediterranean charm. Terraces, pergolas, and stone cornices frame the architecture, creating relaxing outdoor spaces to enjoy the warm Italian climate.
Inside, rooms and suites offer a calm retreat featuring private terraces or balconies, some with direct pool access. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and thoughtful touches like in-room safes and kettles. The hotel’s two pools, including an indoor and outdoor option with a jacuzzi corner, invite leisurely swims year-round.
Wellness features are a highlight, with a day spa offering massages, a sauna, hammam, and herbal teas enhancing the serene atmosphere. Dining is elevated in the trendy Italian restaurant and vibrant piano bar, with breakfast receiving particular praise. Entertainment includes seasonal live music and pool parties, with bike rentals available for exploring the scenic surroundings.
Though the modern design and glass bathrooms sparked mixed reviews on privacy, the attentive staff and carefully curated experiences compensate, appealing especially to couples, wellness seekers, and families alike.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Very nice place near Otranto, 15 mins walk down a road. breakfast is great and service at the restaurant is 5 stars. Rooms are nice, I just don't get this glass doors for bathroom, you can't even close them and you can totally see through, privacy has lost value in many places like this.”
“A stylish modern hotel. The rooms are specious and well equipped - there is a small fridge, kettle, safe. The bathroom has a large shower. Each room has a terrace or balcony ours was the ground floor and we could walk to the pool directly. The pool has a beautiful view. It’s 1.6m deep and has a little jacuzzi corner. There was a great selection for breakfast and excellent coffee service. The hotel offers various entertainment- pool party on Friday and live music on Sunday and Wednesday. You could also rent city bikes for €10 per day. The location is very convenient: it’s only a 15 minutes walk to the port and the old town (through the back gate).”
“Nice place, deep pool, 1.6m all around, and a quick walk to town. You can rent bikes for ten euros a day. The only thing it needs is a game room with a snooker or ping pong.”
