I'm counting the days until I can return the Grand Hotel Costa Brada. Seriously it could not get any better. First we arrived after our long roadtrip with it being night time already and upon entering the hotel, an white owl flew above our heads! It was amazing- out of a Harry Potter movie. We enter, greeted warmly, and are told "sometimes you just get lucky" and given an upgrade into a suite! Whaaaaat?! In this economy, not even for my wedding honeymoon did I get upgraded for FREE and I was paying that hotel oodles to host my event, so to be told here at this beautiful resort hotel on a weekend no less, upgrade, it was heavenly. I looked my husband in the eye begging, please let us stay here forever :)
Our suite was stunning. A giant picture window/door with a balcony/porch overlooked the blue waters of the Mediterranean. The Bathroom was giant with a spa shower head and jacuzzi tub, his/her sinks, and a REAL blowdryer- the kind a stylist uses.
We ordered room service for dinner that night and had some yummy local pasta dishes with fish. perfect, simple, delightful and yes they came on the glorious silver trays. classy.
Breakfast was lovely and yummy. The hotel is the day is even more beautiful and classy, with its marble floors and big windows throughout its lobby and areas.
We walked outside to the beach, its winter but it was warm and gorgeous. The hotel also has this beautiful garden area to stroll along, I can only imagine in the summer how perfect this spot would be, as the winter it was marvelous!
I guess the travel gods were with us for this trip but Costa Brada really made the better.
Don't miss the adorable town of Gallipoli and definitely stay here.
