Acquaviva Suite

Stunning property. A real hidden gem in Salento. Cant recomment enough!!

The property was absolutely incredible. The rooms were the best I've ever stayed in. Luca the manager was unbelievable in seeing to our stay from start to finish. The breakfast that was included was the best buffet I've experienced for a morning breakfast buffet. On top of this Luca would make you cappuccinos, espressos, cook you eggs, etc. Absolutely delightful. If I ever come back to this area this is where I would stay.

We weren’t intending to stay at Aquaviva Suites - we had booked to stay just out of Otranto but two days before our stay we were contacted by the Airbnb host to say that our accomodation was unavailable and we were offered a couple of alternatives. We chose Aquaviva. What a Godsend!! Aquaviva is a wonderful small hotel, and Marittima is charming. The accommodation is very comfortable, spacious and quiet. We were met by Massimiliano who warmly greeted us, checked us in without fuss and showed us to our room which was extremely comfortable and had a separate living room, multi-jet shower and a bathroom with twin vanities, toilet and bidet, and a nice little balcony with a table and two chairs. Marittima has a few dining options, we had a couple of meals at Utopia and they were delicious! We had a wonderful few days in Marittima - highly recommended is the beach, about a 15 minute drive to a couple of wonderful rock pools (wear reef shoes!) which is serviced by a quirky little bar with good food and great beer. Also 5 minutes away is the larger town of Castro, which has a very lively marina with many dining options. This was fantastic accommodation, made even better by Luca and his great breakfasts, even greater coffee and just his general helpfulness!! Thank-you Aquaviva, thank-you Luca and thank-you Marittima for a wonderfully memorable stay. We will be back!

This hotel is incredible. Where do I start? The interior design and finish is flawless, every detail is thought out and it's so well done. The bed and pillows are so comfy, the shower and walk in wardrobe are cool. The view from the top is fantastic, as is the hot tub and pool. This really surprised us given it's location, but it's very convienient for a lot of places. Max was a great host and Luca prepared an excellent breakfast.
