Beachfront holiday rental in Porto Cesareo

Lucci d'Oriente exceeded our expectations. The apartment is spacious, cheerfully decorated and equipped with absolutely everything: nothing is missing. From every window you can see the sea, as if you were inside it. The terrace with direct access to the sea is a true privilege. Going up from there to the apartment requires some effort, but it's totally worth it. It is ideal for a family with children, very comfortable and functional. Santa Cesarea Terme is quiet, with some options for light meals and ice cream. Parking next door is free if there is space, and very accessible if you pay. Rita and Stefano were exceptional hosts: attentive, kind and always available. They made us feel at home. We'd come back without hesitation!

We enjoyed an incredible one week stay. Stunning location - excellent for exploring southern area of Puglia and enjoying the beauty & serenity of Mancaversa. The fabulous accommodation exceeded our expectations. The photos just cannot do justice to the view from the property and the sound of the sea was soothing every day. The property has good space inside and outside, we felt very at home. Franceso was an extremely helpful host. He provided clear instructions on getting to the property and finding our way around the local area. He was responsive when we needed to seek some medical assistance too. He really made our stay as smooth as possible.

Perfect stay right near the beach that felt like home! This property has super comfortable beds, nice linens and many little things that made for a very relaxing stay. We thought we’d visit a number of the villages in the area, but found ourselves just wanting to relax at the house and on the local beaches instead. If we come back to the area, we are 100% staying here again. Also, although there are good restaurants in town, cooking was easy bc there’s a BBQ on the patio, lots of spices and pots/pans to cook with and plenty of plates/cups/glasses/etc. It’s a well stocked kitchen - much more so than many other places I’ve stayed. If you’re thinking about this place, stop looking at other options and book it. You won’t regret your decision. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!!

We liked the stay in Marco's apartment very much. The view of the sea and the terrace with pool are beautiful. Beds are very comfortable. There is a good beach bar at the beautiful, nearby bay. Castro is just within walking distance. One advantage was the private parking on the property. The communication with Giorgio was quick and uncomplicated.

We arrived late in the evening due to a delay in our flight. Cosimo's parents nevertheless welcomed us very, very warmly, took a lot of time to show us everything and even got us a pizza. The house is perfect, nice and quiet, offers plenty of space to relax. All the basic equipment you need was there. The house is beautiful, modern and practically furnished and equipped with many small thoughtful details. The outdoor area is very spacious and offers plenty of shade. It's only a few metres to the beach, and during the week there were no people there. We had a perfect week.

Beautiful house equipped with everything, modern, compared to the previous houses seen in the same area far superior. It is not the old house by the sea refurbished, it is a new house. Super modern with comfort that usually houses of this type do not have. Grates, electric shutters, air conditioners, excellent Wi-Fi, well-equipped kitchen with attention to detail. And then the garden is beautiful and well-kept. In no house in the area have I seen a garden so well-kept with an English lawn. Highly recommended. Also very well located. 2 minutes' walk from the beach, both free and equipped. With beautiful sea. 10 minutes (real) by car from Punta Prosciutto. Top.

the stay at Antonio's was truly a positive surprise, he as a person is always available and very tidy, you can see that he loves his structure as his home, he was also very helpful and helped us throughout the stay with useful tips and directions. the amenities were exactly as described and the quality of the appliances was more than good, and the air conditioning system is a state-of-the-art heat pump ducted system that gives exceptional comfort in all rooms. I'm almost sure to come back next year

I love places with a sea view from above. I loved this place. Especially the room on the ground floor... From where I could admire the magical sunrise every morning! Antonella was very welcoming and always responsive! The only flaw is not being able to access the sea directly from there. It would be fabulous if they could find a way to do it. The place is suitable for those who love tranquility, the wind and the sound of the sea! ❤️

Angelo is one of the best hosts we've encountered. He responded promptly to all our questions before we arrived, picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. He had wine waiting for us at the house when we arrived. We miscalculated the availability of bus service in May, thinking we could bus from Casalabete to Brindisi to rent a car. Angelo anticipated our need and arranged a car rental for us. On the way out he even took a detour to show us some features of the area we asked about. The house is in a nice location, right over the dunes from the beach. The yard and pool are exceptionally nice, with plenty of outdoor seating areas in a private setting. The house is comfortable, but a bit dated inside, with a small kitchen (although it has lots of refrigerator and freezer space) and could use some better lighting. This is a really nice place for a beach vacation.

excellent welcome with a lot of attention. the apartment is clean, comfortable, equipped like a 5-star hotel. We recommend this small, quiet paradise facing the sea. This magical place is unique.

A really impeccable, as seen in the photos Super clean and tidy! Really a great house to go on vacation Francesco is a very accommodating host

Eros was super responsive and helpful during our stay! The apartment is so close to town, an easy 5 minute walk. The apartment is very spacious and in a nice, quite location. Highly recommend!

Absolutely exceptional stay – beyond all expectations! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Paolo was an outstanding host – warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay as perfect as possible. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly well taken care of. The villa itself is just amazing – full of character, thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and spotlessly clean. But the real highlight? The view. Absolutely breathtaking. Photos don’t do it justice – it’s something you have to see with your own eyes. This place is a hidden gem, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Paolo, for everything – you’ve set the bar impossibly high!

We had an amazing stay at Francesca’s. We were in contact with Lukas who was extremely helpful, clear and friendly. At check in, Lukas met us and showed us around, he had many local recommendations for us. Throughout the stay he was super responsive and helpful. The first morning we woke up to fresh croissant and pasticciotti!! The house was beautiful, very spacious, full of light and extremely clean. There are many places to sit and many amenities like the pool, outside showers, hammocks and outside BBQ area. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you.

Great place to unwind with the pool available for use and the nearby beaches a short walk or drive away. The listing is as described with everything you need. Only downside was a lot of the nearby restaurants and shops were closed due to the time of year we visited. Suspect during the summer months this would not be the case.

We spent seven amazing nights at Franco’s place. The house and its surroundings are just stunning. I second the person who had said that the pictures do not do justice to this place; the view is breathtaking and the house itself is lovely and cozy. We immediately felt home here, and it was very difficult to leave. Franco sent very helpful instructions on how to get in the house, and he was always available and responsive when we had questions. Overall, we had a wonderful time!

This apartment is truly special. Camilla was an excellent host, helpful and responsive. I want to go back some day. Thank you.

We spent a week in the villa with our children. On arrival we received a very warm welcome from Stefania and were overwhelmed by the beautiful view of the sea. The whole complex is very well maintained and lovingly furnished. There is everything you need for a perfect vacation. We felt very comfortable. We can fully recommend the villa!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful penthouse! The views are absolutely stunning. You can see the sea from every angle, and the sunsets were truly unforgettable. The area is peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk from the historic city center. Communication with the host was smooth and easy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!

We had a great stay at Marcella's place in the second half of October with glorious weather and much time spent on the beach. The property was clean, spacious, well-equipped, quiet and within a 5 min walking distance from the most beautiful beach nearby. Marcella was a super-attentive host replying to all our questions almost immediately. The only thing to be aware of are the mosquitoes which prevented us from having the windows open apart from the one with a mosquito net on. I highly recommend the place and would go back there.

5-nights stay with 6 friends Very professional host and service, always available if needed. Also, mid-stay cleaning service included in the price. Breathtaking terrace and very nice house with cosy, renovated interior. Excellent location 10 metres from the beach. Air conditioning everywhere in the house, easily adjustable to your liking. All in all very good!

We had a good time with Luigi and Antonella who were always available and welcomed us as if we were family, in addition to the fact that they waited for us outside check-in hours. We were satisfied with the house, the location, the sea and above all their treatment. We will definitely be back. Thank you Luigi and Antonella for everything. See you soon! 😊

Very nice, clean, well-equipped apartment with a mega-large garden area. Very nice hosts who welcomed and said goodbye to us with gifts, Giuseppe was always available & everything worked out well. We'll be back!

We can’t say enough about our stay in Otranto. Giuseppe was responsive and accommodating and also provided assistance above and beyond what we expected. He was there for anything we needed and made our stay even better than we could’ve hoped for. The location was spectacular and the home beyond beautiful. The decor and furnishings selected made you feel you were in the palace it once used to be and it was so comfortable! A perfect place to cook a lovely dinner - it had everything we needed and more. Also perfect to return to after a day out to enjoy the soft sea breeze and unbeatable view with a nightcap and conversations of a day well spent. The location was in the heart of historic Otranto (parking was no problem!) and was walkable to restaurants, shops & the weekly market where we bought fresh mozzarella and vegetables for our lovely dinner. This was the perfect location to enjoy Otranto and take day trips to other Puglia gems. We highly recommend and would stay again!!
