Waterfront holiday rentals in Torre dell'Orso

I had a great 3 day stay at Franca's apartment. There are 2 balconies with a view of the sea. I cooked dinner each night and ate with a sea view! The apartment has everything for a comfortable stay. The bathroom is clean with a big, comfortable shower. The kitchen is stocked with lots of pots, dishes, utensils and coffee pods. The washing machine came in very handy. The apartment is a 2 minute walk from a beautiful, quiet beach and maybe 5 minutes from Otranto, it's beaches and all it offers. If you get a chance, don't miss Sant'Andrea and Torre del Orso for some really stunning scenery. I rented a moped from Chiriatti moto in town, though during the summer, there's regular bus service. I highly recommend Franca's place for your trip to Otranto and the Salento region.

The apartment is modern, spacious and chic. It is located on the 4th floor of a block of flats with 2 large terraces with sea views. A small, quiet beach is on one side, and a very long and busy beach on the other. There are numerous shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. You don't need a car if you don't want to go on excursions. Maria and Tommaso are extremely nice and helpful. Check-in and check-out were very efficient. A basket of food and drinks was provided at the reception, and on the last day, a bottle of olive oil as a surprise. Everything has been thought of in the apartment, even beach loungers. The WiFi works well, and the car can be parked in the courtyard. It was a very relaxed week.

We stayed 3 days in Otranto in Tania's house. Very good in all respects. Courtesy, cleanliness, fragrant environment and linen, size of the environment, street parking with a pass given to us by Tania and therefore free, beautiful terrace even if not used as we were always out. We recommend

Amazing Place: Very clean with all the little things you need for an extended stay. Beautiful views from the terrace. We used it as a hub to. Visit the beaches of the area. A perfect stay!

I've had a fantastic week in this accommodation. We felt right at home from the warm welcome of Daniela and Valentino at check-in. The accommodation was very clean and provided with everything and a little more that we could need. The accommodation is located with fantastic panoramic views of the sea, very close to the water, several different beaches and swimming areas. The accommodation is located between two villages with exquisite restaurants and cafes on each side. We are more than satisfied with our stay and will gladly return here.

Had a great time in this Airbnb, very clean, extremely spacious and had everything we needed. There are two lovely beaches near the apartment as well as a good supermarket. Only downside is the distance to Gallipoli old town but we had a car and found parking no problem

Really enjoyed the sea view from the terrace

Beautiful terrace with sea views and outdoor shower. Tastefully made apartment with quality materials. 5-star welcome with a smile and a bottle of regional wine (and a bottle of cold water). Quick and easy communication with the host. The sandy beach is a 5-minute walk away. High quality accommodation, highly recommend.

We stayed for 11 nights in June. The place was very private and quiet. The apt. had everything we needed. The sea was really just a 1 minute walk away and there were hardly any other people swimming. The water was very nice. The terrace was incredible and had direct sun only in the morning. The view is east bound. The master bed was good in size, the mattress could be better. Towels and sheets were plenty and clean. The washing machine was good. The kitchen stove works with gas and the hot water works with a boiler. The water pressure was good and the water was always warm. The oven didn’t work unfortunately, switching it on made the electricity go off. WiFi does not work well inside the house but on the terrace, but we didn’t mind. We had a wonderful stay here and would recommend the place for a couple or a small family.

This house is a real gem. It is located right at the sea. There are stones in front of it but you can go swimming, if you want. On both sides approx. 5-10 min are very nice sandy beaches. The view is amazing and we had super nice sunsets. The house has everything you need and the kitchen is fully equipped. The decoration is maritime and quite cute. It was really peaceful and we had a great time. There are a couple of restaurants in the village as well as shops and even fish shop. We were there at the end of May. Many shops and restaurants were still closed but 20 min by car there is a bigger town where you have everything. We really enjoyed our stay. If you look for peace and quiet - book this lovely house! Highly recommended!

There were two of us staying at the place for six nights and more than satisfied. May is before the season, so we were alone in the entire street. The terrace is a dream, but visible to the neighbors. Because we were alone, this was nothing difficult. We highly recommend the apartment, Fernando was a great host and was always easily accessible and friendly!

Words cannot describe how immensely special and beautiful this home is. Even the walls have soul! Every bedroom is in its own floor, which felt very private. The home is decorated beyond beautifully and is within walking distance of everything on the island, including amazing restaurants. What words cannot explain is how after staying at many Airbnb’s throughout our travels, the host is BEYOND amazing. She provided customized recommendations for everything on the island based on her experiences (the home is a beautifully restored family home)…. Places that avoided the typical tourist traps. She made sure we were absolutely comfortable, going out of her way at every opportunity. If her parking space is free, without a doubt, I recommend getting it as parking is very limited on the island. The view is literally the best in all of Gallipoli. Literally. Enjoyed so many gorgeous sunsets on 5 different terraces!!!!! Of course, the top one with a 360 degree view could not be beat!!!

House very well located in a very quiet environment. Pietro is very available and has a real sense of hospitality. Ideally located to radiate on the territory and with a small beach nearby (2 min walk) to swim safely and snorkel (which is a real plus, because in Italy the beaches are either private: overloaded, or difficult to find for access to the water due to the geological specificities of the coast). We were a couple and really enjoyed this house.

We had a wonderful week at Antonio’s home. It was even better than the photos and description. Little details like having coffee to make in the morning, some water in the fridge on arrival and cookies for the girls. We arrived quite late and Antonio met us to ensure we got in ok. He was so helpful with recommending some great spots for food, beach clubs, local activities, local supermarkets. In my opinion, Antonio went above and beyond to ensure that we had a lovely holiday.

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!

This house was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful, cozy, and it made you feel right at home. Stunning views, with direct access to the water so you can jump in as soon as you wake up. It’s a wonderful place to relax and use as a base to explore the nearby cities. The host was very kind—she welcomed us with some groceries and was always attentive to anything we needed. I 100% recommend it and hope to come back soon.

We had a very relaxing time in Vittorio's apartment. The large balcony has a great view of the sea. 2 beaches are directly opposite, only across the quiet road from the apartment. The free city beach with the wind-protected bay can also be reached in a few minutes on foot. The sea is crystal clear and shines in all shades of blue. The old town of Otranto is also within a few minutes' walk and offers a wide range of restaurants and ice cream parlours. Vittorio welcomed us very nicely, also gave us many tips during the stay and stayed in touch with us. The apartment is lovingly furnished and has everything you need. We recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to spend a relaxing holiday in Otranto.

This is a fantastic place and we’d highly recommend it! Beautiful, spacious, spotless, well-decorated apartment in a great location with roof terraces (plural!) with amazing views. Ludovica was the perfect host- very responsive and helpful and the apartment guide was a very thoughtful and useful addition. Gallipoli is also a great place to stay when exploring Puglia, with lovely local beaches, good restaurants, activities and other towns in easy distance. Thank you Ludovica!

Grazie Mille Marcello, Claudio è Luca. The apartment is beautiful, so well equipped and the view was wonderful. We appreciate that you were all so helpful to us. We highly recommend your apartment to other visitors. Ivana

Thank you Pasquale and Paolo for the welcome and the stay. Everything was perfect! The apartment already looked beautiful in photos but it was even better in real life. The decor, the shower and the kitchen had been redone. They had planned everything necessary for our stay with our baby: changing table, baby bath, high chair, cot, blender for puree, stroller and even parasol and 2 folding chairs (which allowed us to introduce him to the sandy beach, 5 min walk from the apartment). Parking in the garden, sea view, fully equipped kitchen. Washing machine and coffee machine with pods as well. Everything was very well thought out for us to have a good holiday. Even mosquito nets. They even provided a map and recommended plenty of nice places. The apartment was also very clean. We will be happy to come back for our next stay and 100% recommend their accommodation

Terrazza Doxi Fontana is a beautiful apartment with large terrace & amazing views from inside and out. The 3 en-suite bedrooms are very similar making sharing fair for everyone. There are lots of stairs to access the apartment so not suitable for people with mobility issues. Once inside it’s on one level and has a good layout. A great place to chill out. No parking available close by at the port so we had to offload luggage and wait with it whilst someone else parked much further away. Inconvenient but workable. Gallipoli was a lovely place to visit whilst exploring Puglia.

Our experience at Elizabeth's apartment was fantastic from start to finish. Communication with her was seamless; she was always quick to assist and answer any questions we had. Elizabeth went above and beyond, providing detailed instructions for our late check-in and sharing wonderful recommendations for nearby restaurants. The apartment was spotless, and we especially enjoyed the balconies with their stunning views. Located in a peaceful area, the apartment was just a short walk to great dining spots and a charming local beach. Thank you, Elizabeth, for an unforgettable stay – we would love to return!

The hosts are very accommodating, I found the apartment a bit small, but it was ok for 3 days. The view is amazing :)

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!
