Hotel Villa Elisabetta

First, I want to say that I was pleasantly surprised at the location of the hotel as it was in a beautiful rural setting, but not too far from the center of Galatina, which is a lovely year-round vibrant community. Plenty of hotel parking. I stayed in a chalet, which had plenty of room for me and if I had company - two others - with a double bed and also a twin bed. The bathroom was large, toiletries were provided and slippers were provided along with daily clean towels. Every thing was spotless. There was also a refrigerator, beautiful big windows, if you were inclined to leave them open to get the night breeze or hear the birds chirping each morning! The bed was very comfortable. As it was still cool in the evenings and in the mornings, the heating system was a very pleasant amenity. There is a nice size pool with diving board and a tennis court, neither of which I made use of as it was still somewhat in the off-season and I needed to be out during the days at appointments. The restaurant/bar was a very nice size separate building from the rest of the premises with plenty of seating. The breakfast was lovely with a choice of yogurts, meat, cheese, fruit, juice, local pastry, local cookies, jams, bread and delicious coffee!!!! Twice in the evenings, I ordered room service for tea and biscuits. What really also sets this place apart from other places where you might stay such as larger hotels is the owner Enrico! He takes great pride in the premises and was very caring about and concerned that I was happy! As a solo traveler, I felt very safe and calm in this delightful setting. Though I speak only a little Italian, it was not a problem between our mixed English and Italian, Google Translate and the help of the namesake for the hotel, Elisabetta who is Enrico’s daughter. Everything was just fine!! Just go!! P.S. you can also stay in a TRULLO!! Brava!!

Un oasi nel salento. Le camere impeccabili e il giardino con piscina è top.La location è tra le più belle che abbia visitato. La cortesia del proprietario ti fa sentire a casa. Ci torneremo ripetutamente. Grazie Enrico per la tua disponibilità ed allegria.
