We wanted a treat to celebrate the New Year and that's what we got.

Modern , comfortable rooms with sea views and a little balcony We had a little bottle of the local wine in our room upon arrival. Comfy beds, nice bathrooms and plenty of room.
The next day we received a little wrapped Italian cake as a New Year's gift. These little touches really made us feel cared about and welcome, even though I am sure we were the only foreigners there....all Italian tourists and that's good sign!

We were right on the pristine beach and were walking along it on New Year's day, shirt sleeves rolled up and totally alone.
Gallopoli is a beautiful sight from the hotel and take just a couple of minutes to get there via the cab driver , Antonio...He charged northern European prices, though.

The food here is top-notch. The two chefs, (also named Antonio) created beautiful local food . The breakfasts were great with freshly made -by- Antonio local breads and cakes. There is a little pizzeria on site that had great pizza to take to your room or eat there. We were greeted each morning with sculptures carved out of melons and were truly works of art. The locals were taking pictures of them.

There is a beautiful garden next to the hotel , an indoor and outdoor pool . Can't wait to come here in the Spring or Fall when the weather would be swimable.

The front desk were helpful with any questions we had and we were greeted by everyone from the bar staff to the porters.

Truly a wonderful stay!
