Independent in Castro from NZ$174

"Book immediately! This place was magical; the staff, the food, the pool-it all exceeded our expectations. The staff gave us great recommendations for sight seeing, and led us to places we otherwise would not have visited. The dinner blew us away, every taste was rich with flavor. Stefano made our dining experience remarkable with his professionalism and conversation. The owners of this hotel were always around which made the experience feel so down to earth and authentic, their yellow labrador retriever also roams the ground. The free daily breakfast buffet was so good, the quality of food was 5 star. We will be back!"

"Really great spot that epitomizes the south west of Puglia. Lovely old buildings that have been renovated. Great pool. Unfortunately this was out of action the day we wanted to use it, but I still had a dip in the bambino pool! Horses surround the property too, so day hello. Great, grand main building too, with a lovely Edra lounge in the entrance, and frescos all throughout. Definitely worth a stay!"

"Lovely quiet place, just outside of the city. We had the best breakfast that we’ve ever had in Italy. Fabulous choice and very fresh. Dinner and wine was very good, although limited to a fish menu. Thought it was good value for money."

"Very large rooms with balcony looking over bay. Excellent location right at the beach with fantastic restaurants to pick from within 100metres. Hotel was the cleanest we have ever been in. Breakfast buffet was memorable and included in tariff. Lovely friendly staff. Will definitely return next year."

"Beautiful place, very clean , amazing staff , breakfast was very good ….close to the beach "
