I booked 3 double bedrooms, half board, for a party of 3 couples, at the Vittoria Resort & Spa, Otranto, Puglia, September 2010. First impressions were good, it’s new complex and there was attention to detail, rooms are spacious and well furnished. The hotel, pool area and grounds have been erected to an excellent standard. The staff were very friendly and some could communicate in English. The location is about 300 meters from Otranto town and seafront, but the walking access road is bit tricky as it’s a main road out of town and gets lots of traffic. There were several downsides to our visit, the main one being the food in the restaurant. It gets boring after a couple of days, so we cancelled half board after a few days to use the local restaurants. The other was a problem at checkout with a bill which was a higher room rate than accepted on the web, this was eventually rectified. I would recommend to people who love the sea, in an elegant and comfortable hotel at the right price.
