Racar Hotel & Resort

Our stay was out of season and there were only eight people staying in this hotel including us. We stayed for two nights For a beach hotel this has all that you will need with two pools, one of which is for children, and it looks likely there are activities for children too during high season but everything had finished while we were there from 16th to 18th September. The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Antonio (Toni) the owner/manager was always available and made sure we had all that we needed for the simple italian-style breakfast of juice, cornflakes, bread, cornetti (italian croissants) fruit, local cake and, of course, coffee or tea. There is a brasserie-style restaurant on site and a fish restaurant nearby, both were used by locals. I am vegetarian which seems to result in eating a lot of pizza (I eat cheese) or pasta with tomato sauce or grilled vegetables. Our room was simply decorated and equipped with a wardrobe, bedside tables with lamps and a table. The bathroom was also simple with a small cabinet, toilet, bidet and powerful shower with surrounding curtain. In summary, this is a simple resort hotel located ideally located for the beach and access to the local town centre of Frigole and only 20 minutes from Lecce. As with resort hotels anywhere in the world this is designed to accommodate a lot of people at once where our preference if for smaller, family run accommodation but we were comfortable here.
