Beach house holiday rentals in Castro Marina

We had a wonderful, unforgettable vacation in this great apartment. Dania and her father have super organized the handling, check-in, questions and help on site, check-out. They welcomed us warmly and we were greeted with a welcome basket of specialties from the region. The apartment is superbly equipped, clean and spacious. The location, right on the beach, priceless... Thank you for this great time! We will definitely be back!

Absolutely exceptional stay – beyond all expectations! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Paolo was an outstanding host – warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay as perfect as possible. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly well taken care of. The villa itself is just amazing – full of character, thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and spotlessly clean. But the real highlight? The view. Absolutely breathtaking. Photos don’t do it justice – it’s something you have to see with your own eyes. This place is a hidden gem, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Paolo, for everything – you’ve set the bar impossibly high!

We had a wonderful stay! 100% recomend and would like to go back. The place is large, clean, near a beautiful beach. All you can need is close by. Book, it’s worth it;)

This place looks just like the pictures shown. Plenty of lovely beaches around and lots of fishing opportunities as well! The local cats were definitely my favorite. There was a young cat while we were staying, with gray patches on mostly white fur. I named him Jasper , if you see him give him lots of lovins he’s such a sweetheart!

We spent 2 weeks in the shark of Francesco by the sea with two grandmas. The location is really fantastic. The sea starts right outside the terrace. A small mini sand beach is 7 meters away, a smaller bay about 20 meters and a slightly larger bay 50 - 100 meters. The more extensive sandy beaches in the north can be reached by car in about 5-10 minutes, in the south in about 20 minutes. We spent two weeks here in April and enjoyed the tranquility. At that time of the year, there was not so much activity but some restaurants were already open. As well as the small supermarket in the village. The house is divided into two units with the courtyard as a meeting point or "chill area". The grill is practical and all technical equipment worked perfectly. The amenities are also extensive but not overboarding. We lacked nothing. As a welcome, Francesco (the first guests of the season) has basic amenities (oil, salt, sugar, coffee, wine) Everything is great

Great apartment and in a superb location minutes from the centre of Otranto. Free parking pass was very useful - always found a place within a few roads from the apartment. Giuseppe was always very helpful, friendly and quick to respond. I would definitely recommend the apartment.

Staying at Mrs Cristina’s apartment was perfect for our family of 5. Clean and tidy, with a lovely outdoor garden area to eat and relax, and the children could play. It is within walking distance to the town of Santa Cesarea Terme and to the water. Thank you for letting us stay.

House very well located in a very quiet environment. Pietro is very available and has a real sense of hospitality. Ideally located to radiate on the territory and with a small beach nearby (2 min walk) to swim safely and snorkel (which is a real plus, because in Italy the beaches are either private: overloaded, or difficult to find for access to the water due to the geological specificities of the coast). We were a couple and really enjoyed this house.

Beautiful house, super divided for three families, as there are three separate units and you can also retreat well. The disadvantage, however, is that the kitchens are not very large. We imagined the distance to the sea to be smaller, you can already walk there but it is (especially with children) not quite as close as expected. The communication with Giulia was great, she always responded quickly and kindly and was very helpful and accommodating. The apartments were very clean and the garden and Pool nice and well maintained.

Great villa. Modern styling, open plan with plenty of space for family party of 10. Lovely house in a peaceful location but close enough to walk to nearby town. Very helpful and responsive hosts. Highly recommended.

We felt completely comfortable. Rosanna welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips. The house is in a beautiful unobstructed location... you could take a creative break here for a long time! The rooms and the furnishings are very tastefully designed. The pool is truly a dream. Beautiful water! In the kitchen it has everything you need. It is important to have a car, as a good supermarket is already a 10-minute drive away. The beaches are very nice and the water is clean and beautiful! Puglia is very pleasant to travel in the fall. Not everything is open anymore, but it has a lot fewer people!

We had a wonderful week at Villa Palibella. The villa has exceeded our expectations, especially thanks to the beautiful pool and the care of the property. The entire area is lovely and perfectly maintained. Another highlight is the impeccable cleanliness, which made us feel comfortable from the start.

We (7 people) had a great stay at Sara's place. The villa is very tastefully decorated, with everything you need. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom. The spacious covered veranda gives plenty of shade in the sun or makes it possible to be outdoors even in light rain. The infinity saltwater pool with ocean views and the outdoor kitchen with gas and charcoal grill are a real highlight. Also the rooftop terrace with sea view, which we used for yoga sessions. The location is super quiet in a villa district. Villa has a fantastic tuff stone garden. Santa Maria de Leuca is within walking distance. There are smaller shops and a few bars/restaurants. However, some things were closed during our travel time (mid-October). Weekly markets, larger supermarkets and restaurants in the neighboring towns between 5-8km. Sara and Sergio (contact person on site) were always available and super helpful. Clear recommendation. THANK YOU ❤️

Excellent quaint house, wonderful yard, clean, and close to the beach. A great spot for my kids! Well worth the trip to the south of Puglia.

A lovely villa in a quiet location. 5 minutes drive away from restaurants and shops. The villa is a little rustic internally and lacks some home comforts. The outside area is stunning with lovely sea views. We had a restful stay and would recommend the accommodation.

We loved this place. The view from the terraces is stunning. The pool area is peaceful and we were lucky enough to have it to ourselves most of the time. You can walk down to restaurants in 20 minutes. There is also a basic supermarket there.

The accommodation is located in the center of Otranto, but in a very quiet area. Everything is easily accessible on foot. The parking is really a great added value. The apartment is well equipped and nothing is missing. Fabio is very kind and always available. Thank you so much for a pleasant stay!

It was a wonderful stay at Assunta’s place. She met us at the door and showed us the place (including the gated parking). She also gave us many recommendations. We went to two of her recommended restaurants, and they were both really good. Porta Cesareo is beautiful, and it’s walkable from the house. Assunta’s place worked out really well for us.

We cannot say enough about Federico. He was extremely helpful and attentive to our every need. He even printed our ballots for us so that we could vote! I highly recommend Federico as a host.

There were two of us staying at the place for six nights and more than satisfied. May is before the season, so we were alone in the entire street. The terrace is a dream, but visible to the neighbors. Because we were alone, this was nothing difficult. We highly recommend the apartment, Fernando was a great host and was always easily accessible and friendly!

Everything went very well. Simone was always very responsive and the place was simply breathtaking. Very recommended!

The descriptions and pictures are very accurate. The apartment is easy to find if you don’t use google maps directions/navigation. The most direct route is to follow the “lungomare”, turn at AMU restaurant, and proceed to number 10. The apartment is on several floors, without an elevator. There are 65 steps from the street to the rooftop terrazzo and kitchen. Each bedroom is on a separate stop along the stairs below the kitchen floor. The apartment is the best equipped of any apartment in which we’ve stayed over a period of 12 years. Francoise is very helpful and responsive. She provided a great deal of local info and recommendations. Also, she can arrange for a parking garage; street parking is non-existent.

We stayed with Mrs. Giuseppina the first week of June. We were greeted with enthusiasm and were given advice on beaches, excursions and restaurants. The house is very cozy and spacious. Having a double exposure, the house offers both a wonderful sea view and a sheltered back garden where you can dine and grill. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic stay at Manuela’s place. The apartment was beautiful, spacious and had everything you needed and more. Manuela was very responsive, she gave numerous recommendations of places to go and restaurants to try. Would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in the Porto Cesareo area! Thank you for having us!
