Montirò Hotel

If you are looking for the perfect place to stay. Stop. Stay here. I've been to over 26 countries and all over Italy 3 times over, and this was by far one of the best places Ive ever stayed. The hotel staff go above and beyond ( helped me with my bags on their golf cart, gave me my own wifi router so it was strong enough for my work, booked my PCR test etc) The rooms are large, relaxing and nicely designed. The property is beautiful! The infinity pool overlooking the olive orchards , the sun sets right on the pool. The restaurant breakfast was incredible and plentiful. They had the cutest family of cats living on the property (mom,dad & kittens) oh so cute. I could go on forever and ever. But just take my word for it, and stay here. I will be back again!!

We enjoyed 5 days at the hotel and had a car so it was easy to get out to different places in the day and different restaurants at night. Very relaxing time, we had two lovely large rooms with super air-conditioning. Bathroom facilities like new. Fabulous little patio area right outside our doors with table, chairs and a drying rack for towels. Outside bar area was pleasant to sit in and read out of the sun, loungers and towels by the pool were great. Pool was far smaller than expected unfortunately so not much swimming - 5 strokes and you are at the other end. Also very shallow all the way across. The restaurant was lovely - we tried it the first night as we arrived quite late. Very little choice but for a small hotel that is to be expected. Food was delicious as was the breakfast every day. We were hoping to cycle and kayak and be a bit sporty but the hotel could only offer 3 bikes (we're a family of four) and other than pricey all day boat trips there was little else in the nearby town. We went in July and the beaches were overcrowded. Literally no sand to be seen for people. However, if you want a relaxing base that is close to a local town, beaches and a reasonable drive to places like Lecce and Gallipoli this hotel is great.
