“Several problems”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2009

The hotel is undoubtedly in a very central position in the old town and is nicely laid out with a good roof terrace and nice decor. We did have some problems though. Our room was an internal one and had no proper window, only one opening onto a communal area in the hotel with frosted glass making it feel dark and slightly oppresive. It also had a room above it and the sound insulation between the rooms meant that whatever happened in the room above us was very audible to us. This is not so bad during the day, but at all hours of the night it is a bit of a pain and kept is awake as we seemd to have party people above us. We asked to be moved after the first night but the staff claimed that they had to refer to some central booking people who apparently said we could not move despite their being several other empty rooms in the hotel. Very frustrating.

There was never any hot water in the morning, again very frustrating, and 3 times the water stopped totally. It was usually fixed fairly quickly but once again very frustrating and not really acceptable for a 4* hotel.

The "hotel" does not really have the facilities to call itself a hotel. It has no bar, no room service and is really a B&B. It has that impersonal feel of a corporate run hotel.

“Great location in the pretty centro storico (old town)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2007

Location is great in the old town. The new part of Gallipoli is not so nice so do not stay there. For disabled people it might be a little bit difficult to access hotel because it is difficult to go by car to the hotel if you do not have a small car.. Easier to park the car and walk to hotel but the walk is short so it should not be a problem for most people. The hotel is very nicely decorated is stayed in a standard room and it was clean and bed was also comfortable. The room is not that large and it had only window towards the corridoor. But it is not a ordinary corridor. The ceiling was beautiful. Is usually do not like staying in rooms with no windows towards the outside but this room felt great anyhow.

The staff was really nice and gave good recommendation for both restaurants and beaches in the area. Porto Selvaggio was great only drawback is that is was a 25 walk to get there but when there it was really beautiful and quiet, a rock beach. Beware though that you have to be early to get a spot to lie on because there are not that many that is comfortable since it is very rugged.. The centro storico of Gallipoli is very beautiful lots of people walking around nicely dressed old men and woman and when i was there in september not that many tourists and the only tourists that actually were there were italians.

Breakfast at the roof of the building was nice especially the croissants otherwise a pretty basic breakfast for Italy.

  • Liked — The staff was great and also the location of breakfast on the roof
  • Disliked — Standard room was small but still comfortable lack of windows towards the outside.

“Wonderful little hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2005

people found this review helpful

Excellent service and very charming rooms - we stayed in one of the top rooms with a private terrace furnished with 2 steamer chairs. The room had a bedroom with double bed, a huge bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and shower over and a separate sitting room. The sitting room had a sofa with a pull out bed underneath, making two single beds. The room was a little bit dark but still very spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended!

“A gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2005

We stayed in the old town of Gallipoli for a couple of nights and this hotel really stands out. It's so well designed and comfortable. It has a slightly minimalist Greek feel to it, with whitewashed walls, beautiful tiles and rooms decorated in cream/white. The room was spotless and very quiet. Staff are very nice and helpful. Definitely a place we'd like to return to!

“Great little find in a brilliant location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2005

We stayed here for a few days and had a really beautiful room called Nautilus which had a sofa area and bathroom downstairs, and a bed upstairs with little steps out of a window up onto the lovely communal roof terrace (a guide book we read suggested you got your own terrace but we couldn't see any rooms where this was the case) where your continental breakfast is served each morning. The old town where the hotel is situated great for eating out, and the beaches nearby are great too. We would definitely go back.
