BluOtranto

The location is great. It is close to the old town (5-10 mins walk) but in a quiet location. The hosts are unbelievably kind and welcoming and the rooms are really comfortable and clean. The pool area is fantastic and the quality and choice of food at breakfast is great. This really is a brilliant place to stay.

We stayed for two nights in the suite at BluOtranto and it was truly a fantastic experience! Everything about this bed & breakfast reflects quality, comfort, and hospitality. The suite was absolutely beautiful: a large jacuzzi in the bedroom, a spacious living room, a lovely and practical bathroom, a fridge in the room, and a wonderful terrace. You can immediately notice that every detail has been carefully considered. Everything is new, stylish, and very practical at the same time. The outdoor swimming pool was also wonderful. There are plenty of sun loungers with shade, an outdoor shower, and a lovely view of the peaceful surroundings. The atmosphere is very relaxing and enjoyable. The location is perfect as well. There is a huge parking area just across the street, and you can easily walk to the old town of Otranto. What really makes this place special are the owners. They are incredibly warm and friendly and truly do everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We absolutely loved our stay. If I could give it 11 out of 10, I definitely would!

The property has been tastefully renovated and decorated. Beautiful spacious room, delicious breakfast and the outdoor spaces and pool area are lovely.

It was very difficult to find because the address is misleading and is actually located on a dead end side street. I would highly suggest that you put a large sign on Via Memoria with an arrow pointing up the small street. We arrived late and became very frustrated trying to find the property. Not a great start!

I had a wonderful stay at Blu and I am so glad I stayed here. The staff was absolutely lovely and made me feel so welcome (like family!) from the moment I arrived - so much so that I was sad to leave them at the end of my stay! They really made my time in Otranto special and memorable, and I definitely plan to return one day. The property itself was really nice, and my suite was clean, secure, and super quiet. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time and the staff was available to help with anything. Breakfast was SO good - best I had during my entire time in Puglia. Having the pool on site was also a plus. It was well-maintained, clean and secluded (although I didn't really have time to take full advantage of it during my short stay). Great value overall. Location-wise, Blu is just a short 5-8 minute walk into the old town. It was super convenient and easy to navigate (even as a solo female traveller). There's free parking (white lines) on the street out front of the property and I found a spot every day with no issues, but there's paid parking available too for a set daily rate (not expensive) if all the spots are taken. Parking is along the main street off the roundabout and the entrance of Blu is on a little side street :)
