Waterfront holiday rentals in Torre dell'Orso

Amazing place. Very close to the beach and city center. A nice place to relax. I really recommend it.

Clean apartment and good location

Amazing Place: Very clean with all the little things you need for an extended stay. Beautiful views from the terrace. We used it as a hub to. Visit the beaches of the area. A perfect stay!

Cristian was super hospitable and friendly. Communication was smooth and Cristian made planning easier for us with many recommendations for Otranto. The location of the apartment is perfect - supermarket, beach and center are each just a few minutes walk. Thanks for a great stay, we'd love to come back!

Had a fantastic week in this accommodation. We felt right at home from the warm welcome of Daniela and Valentino at check-in. The accommodation was very clean and provided with everything and a little more that we could need. The accommodation is located with fantastic panoramic views of the sea, very close to the water, several different beaches and swimming areas. The accommodation is located between two villages with exquisite restaurants and cafes on each side. We are more than satisfied with our stay and will gladly return here.

Beautiful three bedroom 3 1/2 bathroom huge well equipped apartment. Private garage parking The beach is across the street where the Sunset views are available.

Chiara truly earns her title of superhost! She personally greeted and farewelled us and made us feel so welcome in her stunning home, a casa di Adele. The location is perfect and walking around Castro was so enjoyable and easy. The view from the outdoor area was such a pleasant way to relax and soak up the sun and fresh air each day. Chiara is extremely generous and adds so many extras to make her guests comfortable. We really appreciated things such as the drinks, snacks, and breakfast for our first night and morning. We also noticed special touches like plenty of towels, spare power adaptors and citronella candles. Be sure to visit grotto Zinzulusa, eat delicious seafood and swim at the Castro marina. We thoroughly loved our stay in Castro and were very sad we couldn’t stay longer. Best Airbnb this trip, by far!

Beautiful terrace with sea views and outdoor shower. Tastefully made apartment with quality materials. 5-star welcome with a smile and a bottle of regional wine (and a bottle of cold water). Quick and easy communication with the host. The sandy beach is a 5-minute walk away. High quality accommodation, highly recommend.

We stayed for 11 nights in June. The place was very private and quiet. The apt. had everything we needed. The sea was really just a 1 minute walk away and there were hardly any other people swimming. The water was very nice. The terrace was incredible and had direct sun only in the morning. The view is east bound. The master bed was good in size, the mattress could be better. Towels and sheets were plenty and clean. The washing machine was good. The kitchen stove works with gas and the hot water works with a boiler. The water pressure was good and the water was always warm. The oven didn’t work unfortunately, switching it on made the electricity go off. WiFi does not work well inside the house but on the terrace, but we didn’t mind. We had a wonderful stay here and would recommend the place for a couple or a small family.

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!

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.

The house is really very spacious and the location close to many places of interest in Salento makes it excellent for those who want a little tranquility for their holidays and allows them to visit all of Salento in a short time. Camilla has always been available and clear for all our doubts. Highly recommended

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.

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.

This house and the garden are so perfect, charming, relaxing, comfortable, all the details are impressive, you will have everything you need. Giuseppe is very kind and welcoming. Thank you very much for all the gifts. I love my stay. The location is perfect to discover the Salento and Puglia in general. I will come back

This house was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful, cozy, and it made you feel right at home. Stunning views, with direct access to the water so you can jump in as soon as you wake up. It’s a wonderful place to relax and use as a base to explore the nearby cities. The host was very kind—she welcomed us with some groceries and was always attentive to anything we needed. I 100% recommend it and hope to come back soon.

This is a fantastic place and we’d highly recommend it! Beautiful, spacious, spotless, well-decorated apartment in a great location with roof terraces (plural!) with amazing views. Ludovica was the perfect host- very responsive and helpful and the apartment guide was a very thoughtful and useful addition. Gallipoli is also a great place to stay when exploring Puglia, with lovely local beaches, good restaurants, activities and other towns in easy distance. Thank you Ludovica!

We had a very relaxing time in Vittorio's apartment. The large balcony has a great view of the sea. 2 beaches are directly opposite, only across the less-traveled road from the apartment. The free city beach with the wind-protected bay can also be reached in a few minutes on foot. The sea is crystal clear and shines in all shades of blue. The old town of Otranto is also within a few minutes' walk and offers a wide range of restaurants and ice cream parlors. Vittorio welcomed us very nicely, also gave us many tips during the stay and stayed in touch with us. The apartment is lovingly furnished and has everything you need. We recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to spend a relaxing holiday in Otranto.

This apartment is excellent. The location and views are amazing. We enjoyed the proximity to beach, local cafe and constantly changing vista. Out hosts were very supportive and friendly, but allowed us the space for a quiet holiday. We appreciated quick responses when we asked for recommendations. This was a relaxing, spacious and restful place to be. Thank you Marcello and Claudio.

This is an outstanding apartment: three spacious elegant bedrooms with very comfy beds, each with an en suite bathroom. The terrace has a lovely view and is the highest of all surrounding buildings, ie very private. Modern kitchen. AC in each room that works and is easy to operate. Giovanni was responsive - what we asked for was addressed quickly, as well as they could. We had one issue which was properly compensated for.

Our experience at Elizabeth's apartment was fantastic from start to finish. Communication with her was seamless; she was always quick to assist and answer any questions we had. Elizabeth went above and beyond, providing detailed instructions for our late check-in and sharing wonderful recommendations for nearby restaurants. The apartment was spotless, and we especially enjoyed the balconies with their stunning views. Located in a peaceful area, the apartment was just a short walk to great dining spots and a charming local beach. Thank you, Elizabeth, for an unforgettable stay – we would love to return!

The hosts are very accommodating, I found the apartment a bit small, but it was ok for 3 days. The view is amazing :)

We had a wonderful stay in Gallipoli. The apartment has everything you need for daily life and is very quiet. The roof terrace with the view of the sea is simply fantastic and on foot you can quickly reach the old town. Clear recommendation!

Antonio is a perfect hood! The apartment is very well equipped, there is everything you need: coffee, water, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, lots of fruit in the fridge and lots of other touches like a bottle of rosé. ☺️ This welcome made us forget our 6-hour drive! The environment is quiet, close to Port Badisco where there is a bar, the Skafè, on the edge of the cliff, absolutely cool! The beaches, one of which is 10 minutes' walk away, are superb. In short, everything was perfect and we would be delighted if all Airbnb's could be like Antonio's. We highly recommend it! Thank you for everything Antonio 🤩
