Bianco Riccio Suite Hotel

Stayed there to attend a wedding in the area. The hotel was really. We got beach see view with a large balcony. The breakfast on the floor floor with views of both mountains and the sea. The pool was nice and relaxing to use during dag. The staff was very helpful in reservations and providing us with ideas to spend our time between wedding parties. We left before breakfast time, since they know that from night before they helped us with to go box and arranged a taxi Thank you

We’ve just returned from a lovely week in Savelletri. Puglia is absolutely gorgeous – simple, authentic, and beautifully Italian. This little fishing village was the perfect setting for our mother/daughter break in mid-September: perfect sunshine, good food, a clean and stylish hotel, and a delightful seafront stroll to several perfect (nicely simple) restaurants serving fresh pasta, shellfish, and seafood at very reasonable prices. There’s even a local beach club if you fancy a day sitting by the ocean with a bit of beach club vibe. The hotel itself is one of the best in the village. The accommodation was spotless and spacious, with large rooms, generous wardrobes (with plenty of hangers!), and balconies. Views of the sea and mountains at breakfast are breathtaking. Great pool area with sunbed. Strangely we’d booked a “mountain view” room by default (the option if you don’t pay for sea view), but in reality didn’t get one. It didn’t spoil our stay, but it was odd to be told to expect it and then not receive it. Breakfast was outstanding, with a wide selection plus eggs cooked to order. Lunch options at the pool bar were limited but perfect for us – fresh salads and light snacks. For a bigger meal, restaurants along the seafront were just a short stroll away. The hotel doesn’t serve dinner, though reception can arrange delivery if you want to eat in. The staff were exceptional with special mention to Azzura who just couldn’t help us enough and was exceptionally friendly and genuinely interested in making sure we were having a great time. From breakfast service, pool bar staff to the wonderful reception team, every request was handled brilliantly – whether booking restaurants, arranging trips, informed recommendations on local masserias or suggesting other places to visit. They were efficient, helpful, and genuinely lovely. They really made our trip very special. Minor niggle: most plug sockets in our room didn’t work properly with either local plugs or UK adaptors. Overall, we were delighted with the hotel and would happily give it 5 stars. However… The real downside of Savelletri was transport. Without a hire car, getting around was unexpectedly difficult as there are very few taxis in the area. When booking we had carefully considered the proximity to local towns knowing that we would want to venture beyond the local port at least a few times during our stay and taxi journeys really weren’t looking that far. Unfortunately, taxi drivers charged a fortune. Journeys cost us at least double if not treble what we had paid in Rome: €110 for a return trip to Monopoli (just 20 minutes away), and €150 for a one way 40-minute airport transfer (more than London prices by far). Over six days we spent nearly €500 on taxis – each trip far more than we spent on dinner with wine! And we only went on two excursions and two trips to the airport. This definitely limited our options. On talking to other hotel guests we heard that any taxis in the area wer

fabulous hotel with amazing staff and manager. spotless with good breakfast and attentive staff. situated in the middle of Saveletri with restaurants less than 100 metres away. fabulous fish restaurants on the doorstep.

This hotel exceeded all our expectations! The facilities are impeccable, and the staff was always ready to assist with any request we had. The breakfast was complete and absolutely excellent. It’s a warm and welcoming hotel, perfectly located for those visiting Puglia and exploring nearby cities such as Alberobello, Martina Franca, Cisternino, Matera, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Melendugno, Torre dell’Orso, Bari, and Lecce. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and great service while touring the region!

The hotel is in a great location - walk to great restaurant shops and grab some incredible gelato. The hotel is beautiful well appointed modern very clean and luxurious. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. Most have expertise in at least five languages. They are professional and warm and experts in the hospitality business.. Azzura and Alessandro both were outstanding and contributed to a fabulous stay. The massage therapist is talented- be sure to check out the pool and check out the sauna Turkish bath and cold plunge set in a beautiful underground cave.

Our family had a truly wonderful stay in Puglia, and Bianco Riccio made it even more special. Alessandro and his wonderful staff welcomed us with such warmth and genuine care, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and every detail reflected the pride they take in caring for their guests. One of the highlights for all of us was the pool — absolutely amazing, peaceful, and the perfect place to relax together. Puglia itself was breathtaking, but our experience at Bianco Riccio turned the trip into something unforgettable. We left with deep gratitude, cherished family memories, and a strong wish to return.
