Hotel Degli Ulivi ★★★

Hotel la Roccia ★★★

"This is a truly wonderful hotel. Situated at the edge of Castro marina it overlooks the main swimming area of the bay. The staff are amazing, helpful and friendly. They make you feel so welcome. The hotel has a modern cool and crisp white and blue decor, the upper rooms have balconies overlooking the bay, the lower suits are exceptional with terraces onto the hotel’s Lido. Everything you need is in the hotel, a lovely restaurant and bar. And of course exceptionally clean. Guests have access to free umbrellas and sunbeds in front of the hotel. The public can access the wider lido, which creates a great buzz without being too busy. Castro is a wonderful seaside town, a great place for exploring the surrounding coastline of coves and swimming spots. La Roccia is the perfect base for this, an oasis of cool and calm among the wider holiday makers and with amazing Italian hospitality. We’ll be going back and highly recommend as a destination hotel."

A Casa di Giordy B&B ★★★

"Casa Di Giordy deserves well beyond a 10/10. We stayed for four nights and truly wished we could have stayed longer. The owners, Assunta and Rosario, made Giordy’s feel like home from the very beginning. They were incredibly accommodating — on our first night, when we missed the last bus to the house, they kindly offered to pick us up from the train station. Each morning, we were greeted warmly by Assunta and Rosario with smiles and a bountiful breakfast spread. We were spoiled for choice: cakes, crumbles, biscuits, juices, coffee, tea, cereals, and more — with extra food offered to take on our day trips. Our room was spacious, beautiful, and homely, always kept spotless by Assunta herself with fresh towels and a clean, inviting scent. The balcony offered stunning views, and the air conditioning was perfect for the summer heat. The facilities were generous and well thought out, making our stay as comfortable as possible. As visitors from Australia, we had plenty of questions, and Assunta and Rosario went above and beyond to help us. They assisted us in renting a scooter, helped us get around when we didn’t have transport, and Rosario even drove us to our next accommodation in Otranto — taking the time to stop at scenic spots along the way so we could enjoy the views. We cannot thank Assunta and Rosario enough for their generosity, kindness, and genuine care. Their thoughtfulness and attention to detail made our stay unforgettable. Casa Di Giordy isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a place where you feel truly welcomed and cared for. We will absolutely be back — and we already miss you both!"

B&B la Rosa Antica ★★★

"We stayed at the B&B La Rosa Antica in Castro and had a truly pleasant experience. The property is strategically located: very close to the historic center and just minutes from the sea in Castro Marina, one of the most beautiful villages in Salento. The rooms are clean, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished. The cleanliness is impeccable, and the bed very comfortable. We appreciated the tranquility of the place, ideal for those seeking relaxation away from the hustle and bustle. Breakfast is a highlight: plentiful, with fresh, typical local products, homemade cakes, seasonal fruit, and excellent coffee. The owners, Maria and Luigi, are extremely kind and always available, making us feel at home from the very first moment. Mr. Luogo even went to the nearby town in the morning to get lemon cream and Nutella tartlets for breakfast. Super. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back. Furthermore, the quality-price ratio is excellent: the property offers comfort and authentic hospitality at truly competitive prices for the area."
