Beachfront holiday rental in Rivabella

Lucci d’Oriente superó nuestras expectativas. El departamento es amplio, alegremente decorado y está equipado con absolutamente todo: no falta nada. Desde cada ventana se ve el mar, como si estuvieras dentro de él. La terraza con acceso directo al mar es un verdadero privilegio. Subir desde allí hasta el departamento requiere algo de esfuerzo, pero vale totalmente la pena. Es ideal para una familia con hijos, muy cómodo y funcional. Santa Cesarea Terme es tranquila, con algunas opciones para comer liviano y disfrutar un helado. El estacionamiento al lado es gratuito si hay lugar, y muy accesible si se paga. Rita y Stefano fueron anfitriones excepcionales: atentos, amables y siempre disponibles. Nos hicieron sentir como en casa. ¡Volveríamos sin dudarlo!

Séjour les pieds dans l’eau. Si vous aimez dormir avec le bruit des vagues, allez vous baigner le matin à 2 pas et revenir prendre le petit déjeuner sur une super terrasse avec vue sur la mer… c’est le bon endroit. Proche de Gallipoli (en voiture) et pas loin de Lecce non plus. Mi-mai, c’est un peu mort, bien sûr, mais cela nous a tout à fait convenu et nous n’avons eu aucun problème pour trouver des restos et des magasins d’alimentation. La maison de Francesco est non seulement charmante, mais très pratique. Tout est bien pensé. Nous n’avons pas eu le plaisir de rencontrer Francesco, mais il a répondu très rapidement à nos nombreux messages 😉

We loved our stay in this apartment (4 adults & 1 toddler). It’s in a great location with an amazing view. Easy walk to restaurants, bars and historic centre. Pierpaolo was a fantastic host who was very responsive and helpful.

A beautiful rooftop apartment with lots of space. What makes the place is the rooftop patio where we enjoyed breakfast outside every day. Also enjoyed a night of watching both the stars and a storm over the horizon - what a show ! The apartment is right on the Main Street .step out into all the action . Turn left and restaurants shops and bars are there for you . Turn right and 50 m away is the beach - and fyi the beach is a nice sand one. umbrellas for the beach supplied - a nice touch . Access to the apartment is by foot . At first it seemed daunting however in fact it was a 5 min walk from where Paulo had arranged a parking spot for us. Paulo and Stefano were there for us as we found our way to both parking and then the apartment. Paulo is a personal assistant by profession - she was our personal assistant during our stay making dinner rez when places were full ! Great bonus . There’s a roof top bar with music to midnight - good tunes so we enjoyed . Small kids might not enjoy

From the minute he greeted me at check-in, I could sense Donato’s enthusiasm about hosting in addition to his kindness, and I’m grateful I stayed at his fantastic top-floor apt. with an amazing sea view. After he showed me where to park (for free) and then gave me a tour of the apt., I began to explore the town by foot. The town’s natural and architectural attractions are simply unbelievable, namely its unique, jaw-dropping swimming spots and beaches. So, be sure to explore Porto Miggiano and Cala Porticciolo. During my stay I appreciated the comfortable bed, the darkening window shades, using the washing machine and full kitchen, the cross breezes, the AC when needed, making espresso, and, above all, watching the sea from the balcony. Donato has thought of everything, so whether you’re a single traveler, or family of four, you’ll feel comfortable in this gem. When I return to SCT, I hope to stay here! Thank you, Donato!

Wszytko idealnie. Niesamowity widok z tarasu. Wygodna sypialnia jak i salon. Wszytko bez zarzutu.

A beautiful place to explore wider Puglia from. Great host. Would return. Situated just north of Porto Cesareo. Car essential with parking space inside secure perimeter walls. Most sights were 45-90 minute drive. Modern, clean with comfortable furnishings and beds. Well equipped kitchen. Self-catered: 20 mins to nearest Lidl. Short drive to reach restaurants (10 minutes). End of October still warm and sunny in daytime (shorts, t-shirt and slides). Able to swim in small pool (very refreshing though ☺️) and in the sea at nearby beach (5 mins walk: sandy and shallow). Arrived after a severe rain so suffered more with mosquitoes outside which stopped us sitting out in the evenings sadly. Solar-powered hot water very limited (max 2 very short showers). No hot water from kitchen tap. Immersion heater did not seem to get temperature past tepid even after a couple of hours. Would be less of an issue in high summer. Out of season largely was silent around (beach club noise one evening).

Maison très bien situé dans un environnement très calme. Pietro est très disponible et a un vrai sens de l'accueil. Idéalement situé pour rayonner sur le territoire et avec une petite plage à proximité (2 mn à pied) pour se baigner en toute sécurité et faire du snorkeling (ce qui est un vrai plus, car en Italie les plages sont soit privée : surchargées, soit difficile à trouver pour un accès à l'eau du fait des spécificités géologiques de la cote). Nous étions en couple et avons très apprécié cette maison.

We loved our stay in this beach house by the sea. Allesandro had made it very comfortable and provided so many extra treats. It was so quiet, relaxing and calm with great restaurants nearby and many beautiful places to visit.

Eine wirklich einwandfreie, wie auf den Fotos zu sehende Unterkunft. Super sauber und ordentlich! Wirklich ein tolles Haus zum Urlaub machen Francesco ist ein sehr zu vorkommender Gastgeber

Donato the owner and Sergio who did check in were so friendly and helpful. Anything we needed that wasn’t in the house, they organised. Top spec throughout, perfect location for a 5 min drive to the beach, 10 min drive into town or a perfectly nice 40 min walk to the old town.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Wohnung. Alles ist wie beschrieben und auf den Bildern gezeigt. Eros ist sehr freundlich und unterstützend und stets zu erreichen. He goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable. Danke Eros!

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 hebben 11 dagen verbleven in appartement 3, het is een schoon appartement met heerlijke zachte handdoeken en super goede bedden. Volgens de site heeft het een kitchenette, echter het heeft een koffie en thee apparaat en koelkast met vriesvakje. Er is wel een grote gemeenschappelijke keuken aanwezig met een gaskookplaat, vaatwasser, grote koelvriezer alles wat je nodig hebt is er. Er is een groot zwembad met voldoende ligbedden en een plek met heerlijke stoelen in de schaduw. De accommodatie ligt erg rustig, heerlijk als je van rust houdt. Binnen 15 minuten ben je op het strand of in een plaatsje. We hebben het erg naar ons zin gehad in de Masseria La Noa en zouden het zeker aanbevelen voor andere gasten

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.

Der Aufenthalt in der Wohnung von Marco hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Der Ausblick auf das Meer und die Terrasse mit Pool sind wunderschön. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. An der schönen, nahegelegenen Bucht befindet sich eine gute Strandbar. Castro liegt gerade so in fußläufiger Entfernung. Ein Vorteil war der private Parkplatz auf dem Grundstück. Die Kommunikation mit Giorgio war schnell und unkompliziert.

Wir hatten eine sehr erholsame Zeit in Vittorios Wohnung. Der große Balkon hat einen tollen Blick auf‘s Meer. 2 Strände liegen direkt gegenüber nur durch die wenig befahrene Straße von der Wohnung entfernt. Auch der freie Stadtstrand mit der windgeschützten Bucht ist in wenigen Gehminuten zu erreichen. Das Meer ist kristallklar und leuchtet in allen Blautönen. Auch die Altstadt von Otranto ist in wenigen Gehminuten zu Fuß bequem zu erreichen und bietet reichlich Auswahl an Restaurants und Eisdielen. Vittorio hat uns sehr nett empfangen, hat uns auch während des Aufenthaltes viele Tipps gegeben und ist mit uns in Kontakt geblieben. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet und hat alles was man braucht. Wir empfehlen diese Unterkunft jedem der einen entspannten Urlaub in Otranto verbringen will.

Antonio und Lina sind wunderbare freundliche Gastgeber, die sich um alles kümmern, sehr empfehlenswert! Die Altbauwohnung ist süß und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, und wenn es warm draußen ist, auch hell. Wir waren Ende März dort und das Wetter war anfangs sehr kalt und regnerisch. Aber wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im traumhaften Gallipoli.

This apartment is amazing, in a beautiful, very grand building, right in the centre of the old town. If you are looking for somewhere quirky, interesting and authentic, this is it. It is huge, so much space - with frescoes on the ceiling and a balcony to have a drink on. Immaculately clean with stylish furniture. Everything was as described so we didn’t need to contact the host, however she was in constant communication. We would definitely recommend this apartment for an authentic stay in the historic centre.

Le logement proposé par Daniela était très agréable : la terrasse était un vrai plus, et l’appartement était en plein dans la centre-ville historique. Tout l’équipement est moderne et le logement est bien aménagé.

I would not hesitate to recommend this air bnb or to stay there again. So nice to personally meet the hosts who were extremely welcoming & friendly. The seaview terrace was great for taking in the view, enjoying the night lights, as well as soaking up the sun while enjoying a glass of wine. Easy walking distance to the beach & numerous restaurants.

Siamo stati davvero bene. Gentilissimi dall’accoglienza ai saluti di fine vacanza. Appartamento pulito e situato in un ottimo punto. Vicino a tanti servizi e soprattutto al mare. Esperienza che potrebbe essere tranquillamente ripetuta.

This house and the garden are so perfect, charming, relaxing, comfortable, all the details are impressive, you will have everything you need. Giuseppe is very kind and welcoming. Thank you very much for all the gifts. I love my stay. The location is perfect to discover the Salento and Puglia in general. I will come 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!!
