Spiaggia Le colonie

We were independent travellers not part of a group but this hotel mainly seemed to cater for large groups. It's a great location for exploring the area but a car is needed. The rooms are ok, clean, good bathroom, bed a bit hard but generally ok for a few days. (Sadly our room overlooked the pavilion where parties took place several times and this made it very noisy until late. There was no warning from staff or any kind of apology.) Breakfast was adequate but often cleared away by 9am despite the fact it was supposed to be available until 9.30am. Similarly, the bar was good but again the staff cleared up and went home by 10.45pm without any warning even though many people were still sitting and drinking and the information in the room said it was open until 11pm. Generally we didn't always feel like we were valued guests. The local area has several local restaurants within walking distance. We didn't find out the hotel has a sister with a beach access until the day before we left. It wasn't advertised or mentioned anywhere.

Bianco Riccio was the perfect home base for exploring Puglia! The staff was incredibly attentive and accommodating, and we loved the location in Savelletri—charming, authentic, and away from the tourist crowds, with fantastic restaurants and food nearby. A true gem and a wonderful way to experience Puglia!
