Specchia Gallone Hotels

"Starting with arrival - this hotel was “difficult”. Difficult to locate using Google Maps, parking was off-site (about a block away and unsecured). Our room was on the second floor - not only was there no elevator, but the stairs were literally from another century - stone, worn uneven with time. Absolutely no help with our bags. Did I mention it was complicated with pouring rain? Yeah, the “lobby” of this hotel is open-air, so the floors were puddles of water, steps were wet - well- they were outside! It was a relief to get inside of the room. The room itself was fine, comfortable enough, nice bathroom, but for me the inconveniences of this place outweighed the positives. There was a continental breakfast included which was nice, nothing special. You need to ask for your cappuccino to be “caldo” or it will come room temperature. The staff was pleasant enough - absolutely no complaints. We actually ended up checking out a day early! I definitely will be looking for another option next time we’re in the Maglie area. No value here based on the price. "

"The front desk was very helpful and the view from our room was fantastic "

"Courteous and very helpful staff. Comfortable room."

"Our stay at Hotel Miramare was absolutely wonderful! The hotel combines classic Italian charm with modern comfort — everything was spotless, beautifully maintained, and full of character. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The location couldn’t be better — right by the sea, with stunning views and easy access to restaurants, shops, and local attractions. Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of fresh options to start the day right."

"Excellent room and staff - cannot wait to go again!"

"Parking was convenient and very reasonably priced. We did not use the spa facilities. "

"The breakfast is fabulous! Full breakfast with excellent coffees!"

"We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and beautifully restored masseria just outside Otranto. The setting is serene, surrounded by olive groves and close to the coast, with a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. One of the highlights of our visit was the fish set menu – fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the whole experience felt authentically Salento. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the best of Puglia."

"Highly recommend this charming, historic hotel! Elegant & very clean w/ superb staff & warm assistance w/ dinner reservations. Breakfast on rooftop terrace was ample & quite good. Will return with my husband!"
