Podere Santa Chiara

Podere Santa Chiara

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved our stay here! Beautiful rooms with everything you need, the grounds were well kept, and the staff were lovely. We didn’t particularly love the restaurant for dinner, but there are plenty of great dining options within a short drive or there are kitchen facilities in the room. The property is also very close to Otranto - so although the property feels secluded, it is very well located. The only thing I would note is to bring your own towels as there is an additional (albeit small) charge to borrow these."
