Beachfront holiday rental in Lido Marini

The place is a magic little spot with the most beautiful terrace. The bathing spot was a little challenging (at least in windy autumn conditions) but still beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed big and comfortable and the area calm and picturesque.

The house has everything you need for a carefree holiday: equipped kitchen, rooms ok and an ideal outdoor space to eat outdoors or enjoy the sunset. A special thank you to Lorenzo and Lucia, who have helped me with everything: always kind, they helped me with the address, present when needed and ready to recommend authentic places to discover. It is the right place to disconnect, breathe in the sea and experience the real Salento.

We enjoyed an incredible one week stay. Stunning location - excellent for exploring southern area of Puglia and enjoying the beauty & serenity of Mancaversa. The fabulous accommodation exceeded our expectations. The photos just cannot do justice to the view from the property and the sound of the sea was soothing every day. The property has good space inside and outside, we felt very at home. Franceso was an extremely helpful host. He provided clear instructions on getting to the property and finding our way around the local area. He was responsive when we needed to seek some medical assistance too. He really made our stay as smooth as possible.

We had a great time at Antonio's place. This is the quintessential holiday home! A great sea view, a terrace and a very nice house. We immediately felt good about it. Antonio welcomed us perfectly and was very available. We'll be happy to go back.

The perfect place from which to explore Castro!

We stayed for about 10 days at Giuseppe's place, we left with tears in our eyes from what for us was a little slice of paradise. Priceless to fall asleep to the sound of the waves of the sea and enjoy a breathtaking sunset every night. Giuseppe and his family were always so helpful and kind, a credit goes to the cleanliness and attention to detail of the house. In the hope of seeing you again, thank you for this vacation.

We liked the stay in Marco's apartment very much. The view of the sea and the terrace with pool are beautiful. Beds are very comfortable. There is a good beach bar at the beautiful, nearby bay. Castro is just within walking distance. One advantage was the private parking on the property. The communication with Giorgio was quick and uncomplicated.

From the minute he greeted me at check-in, I could sense Donato’s enthusiasm about hosting in addition to his kindness, and I’m grateful I stayed at his fantastic top-floor apt. with an amazing sea view. After he showed me where to park (for free) and then gave me a tour of the apt., I began to explore the town by foot. The town’s natural and architectural attractions are simply unbelievable, namely its unique, jaw-dropping swimming spots and beaches. So, be sure to explore Porto Miggiano and Cala Porticciolo. During my stay I appreciated the comfortable bed, the darkening window shades, using the washing machine and full kitchen, the cross breezes, the AC when needed, making espresso, and, above all, watching the sea from the balcony. Donato has thought of everything, so whether you’re a single traveler, or family of four, you’ll feel comfortable in this gem. When I return to SCT, I hope to stay here! Thank you, Donato!

A really impeccable, as seen in the photos Super clean and tidy! Really a great house to go on vacation Francesco is a very accommodating host

Donato the owner and Sergio who did check in were so friendly and helpful. Anything we needed that wasn’t in the house, they organised. Top spec throughout, perfect location for a 5 min drive to the beach, 10 min drive into town or a perfectly nice 40 min walk to the old town.

Eros was super responsive and helpful during our stay! The apartment is so close to town, an easy 5 minute walk. The apartment is very spacious and in a nice, quite location. Highly recommend!

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 an amazing stay at Francesca’s. We were in contact with Lukas who was extremely helpful, clear and friendly. At check in, Lukas met us and showed us around, he had many local recommendations for us. Throughout the stay he was super responsive and helpful. The first morning we woke up to fresh croissant and pasticciotti!! The house was beautiful, very spacious, full of light and extremely clean. There are many places to sit and many amenities like the pool, outside showers, hammocks and outside BBQ area. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you.

Really great apartment. Spacious, clean and accommodating. Very close to the beaches. You need a car, however, to move around. Cafés, restaurants, etc are not close. Diso as a village has not much of a vibe. But the apartment is a great place to be and to start your daily trip.

We enjoyed a great family holiday at the nice beach of punto Prosciutto (off season!). Angelo and his wife were very kind and super professional hosts. A new Airbnb experience was that Angelo asked us to sign a separate contract and comittment to the rules of the house. Although the list of rules and instructions is quite long its only common sense behavior and a respectful treatment of his property that he asks for. So, no problem to sign. And the result is a well maintained and clean experience for all his guests. Some information is not so clear from the general description of the house but every information is given in the rules for the stay on the airbnb page which you should devinetively read prior to the booking: e.g. for a family of 4 you have only access to 2 sleeping rooms and the use of the Pool comes with an aditional fee of 7.50€ per erson per day. we didnt use the Pool since I was not sure whether my kids (5&7) would easily follow the rules for it. We enjoyed the sea!

The location is stunning. The sounds of the sea are gorgeous and the colour of the water is beautiful. Mauro is a wonderful host and it didn't matter that he spoke no English and we spoke no Italian, Google translate was fine. We didn't have a car and in hindsight this was an error and the villa is not particularly close to amenities and requires walking along a road without pavement or across a rocky beach to get to restaurants and the local supermarket. Also with a car, we would have been able to visit more of the beautiful local towns and villages. If you are looking for a peaceful break from a busy life, this is the perfect spot to stay. We loved Salento and hope to revisit. Thank you, Mauro.

We had a lovely stay in Maria’s apartment, the apartment was clean and really nicely presented. The bed is also extremely comfortable and the location is perfect. We stayed for a week in otranto and couldn’t recommend it more, the restaurants were all really well priced and delicious. The town itself is very peaceful and quaint. Maria was very helpful with anything we needed and gave us a lot of recommendations on things to do. Five stars from us!!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful penthouse! The views are absolutely stunning. You can see the sea from every angle, and the sunsets were truly unforgettable. The area is peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk from the historic city center. Communication with the host was smooth and easy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!

The Trullo is a real jewel near Tricase. Located very quiet and peaceful but you can reach the city centre or the sea either by foot or by bike. The Trullo itself is beautifully crafted and well equipped. Communication with Francesco was very friendly and convenient.

We had a wonderful week at Antonio’s home. It was even better than the photos and description. Little details like having coffee to make in the morning, some water in the fridge on arrival and cookies for the girls. We arrived quite late and Antonio met us to ensure we got in ok. He was so helpful with recommending some great spots for food, beach clubs, local activities, local supermarkets. In my opinion, Antonio went above and beyond to ensure that we had a lovely holiday.

We can’t say enough about our stay in Otranto. Giuseppe was responsive and accommodating and also provided assistance above and beyond what we expected. He was there for anything we needed and made our stay even better than we could’ve hoped for. The location was spectacular and the home beyond beautiful. The decor and furnishings selected made you feel you were in the palace it once used to be and it was so comfortable! A perfect place to cook a lovely dinner - it had everything we needed and more. Also perfect to return to after a day out to enjoy the soft sea breeze and unbeatable view with a nightcap and conversations of a day well spent. The location was in the heart of historic Otranto (parking was no problem!) and was walkable to restaurants, shops & the weekly market where we bought fresh mozzarella and vegetables for our lovely dinner. This was the perfect location to enjoy Otranto and take day trips to other Puglia gems. We highly recommend and would stay again!!

The most amazing place to stay! Beautiful apartment only a few steps from the seafront at Castro Marina, with absolutely everything you would need for a holiday. Maria was so helpful and friendly, offering loads of local recommendations, and checking us in and out. We loved sitting on the private terrace in the shade and having sundowners overlooking the harbour and the sea. We can’t wait to come back!!

Luigi was an awesome host. He was very responsive and super nice. His apartment was gorgeous. The view was incredible. You will love staying here.

Spacious, beautiful, clean house and within walking distance of the sea. The location is strategic and close to many beaches and beautiful locations in Salento. Also not to be underestimated is the kindness and helpfulness of the hosts (Giulia and Luigi) in welcoming us. A vacation to be repeated!
