Hotel Palazzo Papaleo in Otranto

We had an amazing stay! The hotel was beautiful, clean, and cosy – it really felt like a home away from home. Our room was lovely, and the air conditioning was excellent. The location couldn’t be better – right in the center of the old town of Otranto, within the historic walls and just steps away from great restaurants and the beach. But what made it truly special was the staff – from reception to breakfast, the bar and housekeeping – everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming and professional. We felt so well taken care of. Would love to come back and definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Can't recommend this Hotel enough. Great location just inside the historic center. The Hotel is beautiful and the staff were beyond helpful. Loved the rooftop area for relaxing and having breakfast. Great views of the Ocean and it's only yards away.

Really special staff that are quite helpful and rooms are sized right especially when you have access to rooftop or common areas to relax after a busy day. Can’t imagine a better place to stay in Otronto.

From the warm welcome at reception until our checkout two days later our stay here was perfect - our room with a balcony and a terrace, the rooftop terrace with hot tub and bar, breakfast and the amazing staff especially Christiana and Guiseppe.

Well located just off the sea front in a quiet street close to all the vibrant old town this is an ideal hotel to stay in if you are visiting Otranto.

The staff are friendly, helpful and go out of their way to help you. For those like ourselves who are nit as fluent in Italian as we should be, then don’t worry all the team speak English.

Our room was a good size and comfortable with all you need for you stay, including Sky TV and free WiFi.

If the weather allows breakfast is on the roof overlooking the bay and is a very good continental buffet style breakfast.

If you need help with booking a trip, restaurant recommendations or organising a transfer they the front of house team will help you.

We love our time their and would definitely use it again.

We had an excellent stay at this charming hotel! The location is fabulous, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great - so many different things were placed on the buffet, and the variety was different every day. Our room (23) had a small balcony facing the sea (and the busy street below), which was great for reading, people-watching, and just enjoying the view. The ladies at the front desk were full of good advice about parking and restaurants. The hotel is in the pedestrian-only old quarter, so parking is a bit of an adventure, but the trade-off is worth it to be adjacent to the cathedral and right in the middle of so much historic charm. (We parked at the free public lot by the port for three days with no problems - it was about a 10 minute walk from the hotel.) Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Otranto!

Above and beyond our expectations in every way! Location, room size (comfort,clean), customer service and communication, breakfast and most important the rooftop view and appertivo hour.

Excellent staff, Christina & Alexandro were very attentive. Cleaning staff were amazing. Fabulous location. Breakfast was fresh. Just wished there was sun beds on the roof terrace. Thank you for a great stay.

Hotel Palazzo Papaleo is a gem of a hotel with friendly and attentive staff, great location and wonderful amenities. It deserves its 5 star rating.

Great hotel : Very very very nice people and excellent breakfast on a terrasse with a wonderful view! Location is perfect. I highly recommend!
