Corte DI Nettuno - Cdshotels

I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful Hotel Corte di Nettuno. When I booked online, It seemed like a nice (if not fantastic) hotel, reasonable for the price range. What I found was a unique hotel that seemed like a big, friendly B&B. The hotel is like a museum with old maritime and nautical artifacts, maps, etc right throughout the main areas of the hotel and the rooms. It gives it such a nice feel. From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly and helpful and I was welcomed with a glass of Prosecco. They spoke English very well. They have a restaurant on site. Their house red wine was beautiful - highly recommended. The meal I had was delicious and reflective of local Puglian cuisine (calimari for starters and the orrichette pasta for mains). There are small (and crowded in August) beaches in town, but the hotel offers a shuttle service to the long sandy Alimini beach about 5km north of Otranto. They also have a deal where you get an umbrella and 2 sun lounges for 15 Euro for the day at this beach (which is private like many of the beaches in Europe). When I missed my shuttle coming back late in the afternoon, I was able to call the hotel and they immediately booked me on the next shuttle. Finally, my room was fantastic. The bed was very comfortable and the design of the room was fantastic, with a little loft / mezzanine area with a couch that could double as another single bed (along with the main double bed on floor level).

There was honestly nothing bad I could say about this hotel. I gave the highest score for it's location. It was about a 5-10 minute walk to the back entrance of the old town, walking around the harbour / port. This was a perfect location for me (not too busy / noisy and probably a little less expensive than staying right in the old town itself), although some people might prefer to be right in the middle of the action of the old town.

Booked this property at the last minute. We arrived to a glass of prosecco and was shown to a lovely room with an attached courtyard. Absolutely superb. Reception staff very accommodating and helpful. Free parking across road. Great breakfast. If needing a hotel within 200 metres of Otranto old town without the usual historic centre problems this is the one for you.

Nothing.

Great location. Big clean room. Great house keeping.

Bad WiFi in some rooms

This is a great place to stay with a family. Lovely and clean and close to the main centre for food and entertainment. The split level rooms were great.
