Torre Melissa Homestays

Hotel Melissa was a one-nighter on an extended road trip through Southern Italy - and definitely worth the stop. It was our 44th wedding anniversary that day, and the Hotel delivered on my request for Red Roses in the room on arrival (which I paid in advance for, of course), but they added an elaborate towel-swan creation on the bed, with a garland of hearts ( which I had not arranged for) making our arrival more special. The beautiful beach was empty…..but the sand was warm, and the water was inviting (I did go in !…brrrrr) The hotel restaurant served an excellent meal (we had arranged half-board) and breakfast was yummy.
