Otranto Cava di Bauxite Hotels

"Charming farm style property and wonderful people who made our stay personal and saw to our every need. A family run business with farm to table cuisine, knowledgable and friendly staff. Pierpaolo was great to our family. I Highly recommend this country style resort, spa, and restaurant."

"This hotel is located right by a beach club and walking distance from a public beach. It was a perfect location to enjoy Otranto’s beautiful beach. The hotel was walking distance to the Okd Town and plenty of restaurants. I highly recommend staying here. "

"Staff excellent, amenities are excellent. Great location. "

"Genuine staff. Small personal hotel. Good location. Breakfast not just the standard cookies. Free parking is handy when doing daily journeys. -- Pretty close to the sea but a small pool was missed by my teenage kids. A small balcony would have been nice. "

"Excellent hotel. Very well located, great breakfast included, spacious parking, friendly personnel. "

"My first impressions were that this is a well- appointed and sophisticated resort. The design is beautiful, but be aware that the entire resort is terraced off into multiple levels, so there is lots of stairs. However, there are some strategically located elevators for those that have trouble navigating flights of stairs. My stay was during the first weekend of October 2024 and little did I know, that this is already considered the “off-season“. While that means more affordable lodging rates, it also means a muted vibe and a reduced level of services I’d expect in a 4-star resort. Moreover, the resort is situated outside of town and a visit to the seafront, restaurants , and shops meant a 15 to 20 minute walk. While the resort does have a shuttle van, it was not in operation to transport guests to/from the seafront or the train station (I walked a mile/1.6 km with luggage from the station on check-in day). Uber was not available and no local buses were running in October. The on-site restaurant was mediocre, with the exception of the breakfast which was great! There are 2 tiny bars, but a full-service lounge is needed. But despite these criticisms for the resort as a whole, I must say that ALL of the staff I interacted with during my stay was friendly, professional and accommodating. They exhibited pride in what they did for guests. Overall, I would still recommend a stay here. But be sure to ask a lot of questions about seasonal services before you book or visit. "
