No restaurant

Pros: The rooms. The staff.
Cons: A restaurant!!!!!!!
Location: Beach, sightseeing, restaurants.
We arrived at this hotel at a time when the temperature was between 94 & 97 degrees in Puglia. It is situated in Otranto about 10 minutes walk from the castle, harbour and restaurants. The decor is lovely - modern and tasteful, and the staff were nice and helpful. A word of warning though, we assumed from the website that there was a pool with loungers and a restaurant. There is a hot tub (not great in 94 degrees!) on the pleasant roof terrace and they only do breakfast. We do take some responsibility for this ourselves though, because it doesn’t actually say on the website that there is a pool or restaurant, just photo’s of the hot tub with loungers and a dining area, which we assumed catered for all meals. There Is a bar, the air conditioning in the rooms is excellent - thank goodness. It all got to be an bit of an endurance test because of the unusual heat so we cut short our stay and moved to another hotel. I’d recommend it as a sort of city hotel really and I could never stay there for the original 9 nights we booked, because having no restaurant, it all just got to be a bit hard work. Parking is difficult - there is a car park costing 5 euros a night about 400 yards from the hotel. The immediate surroundings of the hotel are not picturesque, to be honest. But for a couple of nights’ stay, the internal ambiance is lovely and the staff are very nice.
