Marelive - Cdshotels ★★★★

"We stayed at marelive and the end of may so although the area was a little quiet as it was just off season, we got more access to the area and the hotel. The rooms were lovely and light, very clean and having direct access to the pool was wonderful. The hotel is great as a base to explore the surrounding area or to spend time in as a pool day!. Breakfasts were excellent, especially the pasticciotti and the coffee We only ate dinner one night but we're very impressed with the meal , 4 courses for 35euro was very reasonable and delicious. All the staff were really attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The downsides are more to do with the time of year we visited, the neighbouring areas of Sant Andrea and Torre dell orso were not particularly lively, although this changed as the weekend arrived, Otranto however was very busy and only a 20 min drive away"

Masseria Borgo Sentinella ★★★★

"I wish I had taken a photo of the room we were originally given. It did not look anything like the photos listed for the “Superior Rooms”. I understand that not every room is going to look exactly like the photos. However, it was a LOT different. For one, our bed faced a blank white wall without a TV. The description under the room we booked stated that our room would have a TV. The photos also showed a fireplace, which we did not have in our room. There needs to be proper representation of rooms in both the photos and description. That is just unacceptable and shady in my opinion."

Hotel Blue Sky ★★★

Posia Retreat & Spa Una Esperienze ★★★★★

"My husband and I traveled to Puglia in September 2024. Our trip began with two nights in Matera then on to the coast where we stayed at the Posia Retreat and Spa. We booked a Deluxe Room based on the sites’s inviting and simple photo . Unfortunately the room in reality was far less desirable with an industrial mostly concrete view. We upgraded at an additional $100 per night to a sea view room which was lovely. Important to note is that while the Posia boasts in its brochure of an outdoor heated infinity pool it is false advertising . In warm weather this is likely not an issue but in cooler weather in order to have access to its only on site heated pool , which is located in its spa , you have to pay an additional cost of $90 per person per day for that access. A room charge already at $500 a night with such an additional cost feels like “ nickel and diming” and is unbecoming of a property that would like to be viewed with elegance. Included breakfast was generous and staff was helpful."

Residence Oasi Salento ★★★

Masseria Borgo Segine - Relais Nel Salento ★★★

"We spent 8 nights at this wonderful bed & breakfast at the end of June 2025 with our two children, and it exceeded all expectations. The property is superbly comfortable and beautifully designed, following the traditional architecture of Salento—every detail reflects care and good taste. The location is ideal as a base for exploring Salento: quiet and relaxing, yet close to stunning beaches and charming towns. The service was truly astounding—warm, attentive, and thoughtful in every way. Breakfast was a daily highlight: delicious and abundant, with homemade tarts and bread, fresh fruit, cheeses, and charcuterie—a perfect start to each day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and restful Salento experience."
