  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    This was a cute, simple, clean hotel. We only stayed one night as we had to switch to a hotel set up by our hiking agency - but we would have been happy to just stay here! Our room was actually a sitting room plus a bedroom so it was large and comfortable. It also had a beautiful large balcony! We were up a couple flights of stairs (no elevator) but easy for us with only carry on luggage. The breakfast was lovely with options to eat inside or out on the lovely patio. It was a easy 5 - 7 minute walk into the charming town and waterfront. nothing

    The location not far from the historical center, with street parking, friendly reception by Marco, always available for answering our needs. The stile is a bit “retro” but very clean. Nice 2 bedroom rooms with a large balcony, that fit us 3 very well. Good breakfast. Not recommended for people with motor disability.

    The breakfast was fabulous. Smelled so good coming out of our room. Host was especially helpful and kind. He was a pleasure to meet.

    We had a lovely stay at Hotel Minerva in Otranto. Even though it was winter, the room was very warm. We had asked for a ground floor and Hotel Minerva accommodated our request. The room was very large and the bed very comfortable. The room and bathroom were extremely clean. The breakfast was fabulous with an array of sweet and savory dishes. Our host was very pleasant and very helpful with parking our car and our two miniature schnauzers were very welcome. Otranto is very interesting with a castle and a magnificent cathedral and this hotel is within a five minute walk to centro storico. We would highly recommend this hotel for your next stay in Otranto. We loved everything!

    We were greeted so warmly and kindly offered an earlier check in and good advice on local restaurants and a boat trip - breakfast was beautiful and varied. Nothing- we would stay again!

    The owner/Manager allowed us to check in earlier. We had a hard time parking in a small spot (normal in Italy) and he was kind enough to park the car for us. Gave us a map and some recommendations for restaurants.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    The location is near the old town known as "Centro Storico". The staff is very nice. The breakfast is good with many delicious local home made dishes. Nearby there is a parking lot "Castello Otranto Parcheggio" and the cost is 4 Euro for the stay, even it will be couples of days. The size of the room and the size of the beds.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    Perfect location for old town and beach just minutes away. On street free parking possible. Owners are the best who really care for guests. Home baked goodies for breakfast which is plentiful and tasty. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Highly recommended.
