La Locanda Della Castellana Adults Only

Excellent stay in the north of Puglia. Very warm welcome and very cosy and relaxing holiday. Outstanding breakfast and dining options. Nice selection of wines. And very friendly staff. We will come back, can't wait

We stayed here for four nights on our driving tour of Puglia. The superior room was very clean, comfortable and had a large balcony over looking the bay. Breakfast is extra , the choice of food is excellent and well priced, best omelettes I have had. Evening meal was limited to two choices but always good value, served with great views over the bay and sunsets. The hotel is spotless, hosts very friendly, exceeded our expectations and great value too. Local Peschichi is lovely to walk around the old town, the torture exhibition is not to be missed! Our favourite beach was 25 mins drive away at San Lorenzo just before Vieste. Sun beds and umbrella. 10 euros and lovely restaurant. Fantastic location and highly recommend this hotel.

Whatever you think, when looking at the web page of this hotel, do not book it. Under no circumstances. We have arrived today and learned, that without bathing cap, no Pool. If you o Not hab such a cap, you have to pay 1,50 EUR. If you need a towel for the pool, you have to pay 5 EUR. If you want the shuttle service to Centro storico, you have to pay 10 EUR per trip,, this means 20 EUR for back and forth. Breakfast is not included, you have to pay everything. The price for a Cocktail (like the o e which be seen in the promotion of the website) is around 15 EUR. We have stayed in several 5 star hotels in Apulia and in Amalfi coast, where we could get cocktail much cheaper. Beside this, the welcome of the hotel owner (or employee), I do not know, was subterranean unfriendly. He said: “ No bathing cap, no pool” When I argued that in the nice video on the web the beautiful lady swimming in the pool, did not wear any bath cap, he said:” This is of no interest for me. No bath cap, no pool” So, consequently, after 30 minutes of thinking about all of this, my wife and I decided, to leave this hostile place immediately and I booked via Trip Advisor spontaneously a very nice hotel in Vieste! By the way, I am an International Sales Manager and I stay in many hotels all around the world. But this is the very first time, that I have experienced such a discrepancy between advertising Hotel web page and reality. Because of this, I decided toe write this comment ( my very first one by the way) to warn people and tell them to stay away from this place.

We are staying at this magnifificient hotel for 5 nights as part of exploring Puglia. We were greeted by our hosts Marino & Antonio who made us feel so welcomed, they took the time to present us the hotel amenities & the surroundings - beautiful! We then went to our room and discovered a beautiful and very large room and and huge balcony overlooking the valley and the bay - just like the pictures and even better! We stayed for dinner at the bistrot, definitely underpayed - the food was delightful, savory and fresh - cooked perfectly by Marino. Antonio took care of the wine, his selection was perfect - just like he could read our minds! We loved it so much we came a second time. And the food was delicious again! We've stayed at hundreds of hotels across the world, this one qualifies in the top ten! If you want a taste of Heaven, this is it!

What an amazing place. Beautiful views over the sea and mountains. Newly refurbished rooms. We had a suite overlooking the sea with a massive balcony. hosts were really friendly and helpful, recommending a lovely beach nearby. We ate at the restaurant every night of our 3 day stay and had beautiful home cooked food. We were sad to leave.
