Torre dell'Orso Hotel Guide - Hotels with Pool in Torre dell'Orso, Melendugno

"I have managed luxury hotels in Canada for over 35 years and this hotel was amazing. I did not expect such amazing grounds, room, pool, restaurant, breakfast, amenities and such amazing staff. Trust me, you will not be disappointed if you stay here. My best stay ever in Italy. Luxury and attention to detail at it’s finest. Grazie Mille !!"

"We have just got back from staying here for a week & could not say enough good things about TC. The grounds were gorgeous, so well looked after, the staff were flawless and the food was so fresh and delicious! Pool area was super relaxing and rooms were so clean & fresh. A few minutes drive into Otranto & would recommend a car to get around and explore as there is lots to see and do! Big shout out to Matteo (I think that’s the spelling) he was the greatest hotel waiter! "

"My first impressions were that this is a well- appointed and sophisticated resort. The design is beautiful, but be aware that the entire resort is terraced off into multiple levels, so there is lots of stairs. However, there are some strategically located elevators for those that have trouble navigating flights of stairs. My stay was during the first weekend of October 2024 and little did I know, that this is already considered the “off-season“. While that means more affordable lodging rates, it also means a muted vibe and a reduced level of services I’d expect in a 4-star resort. Moreover, the resort is situated outside of town and a visit to the seafront, restaurants , and shops meant a 15 to 20 minute walk. While the resort does have a shuttle van, it was not in operation to transport guests to/from the seafront or the train station (I walked a mile/1.6 km with luggage from the station on check-in day). Uber was not available and no local buses were running in October. The on-site restaurant was mediocre, with the exception of the breakfast which was great! There are 2 tiny bars, but a full-service lounge is needed. But despite these criticisms for the resort as a whole, I must say that ALL of the staff I interacted with during my stay was friendly, professional and accommodating. They exhibited pride in what they did for guests. Overall, I would still recommend a stay here. But be sure to ask a lot of questions about seasonal services before you book or visit. "
