Holiday rentals with beach access in Marina di Mancaversa-Giannelli

This is the kind of place that I wish would stay secret because it is so perfect. The appartment is on a high floor of a beautiful building overlooking the water, with gorgeous sea views from the windows. The amenities were as described. The beds are comfortable and I'll be dreaming of the master bedroom with that view on the sea. Walking down to the sea at the base of the building takes you to a gorgeous cliffside bay and there are sun chairs to lay out with a parasol. Access into the water wasn't as easy as I expected, but we were also there at a time of year where the sea was still cool and there were waves big enough to make us second guess swimming there. The village was quite quiet as we were off season, with many storefronts and restaurants still shut down. We enjoyed the quiet and made use of our rented car to explore surrounding villages. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a serene, well located, quiet getaway with a wonderful host.

Perfect stay right near the beach that felt like home! This property has super comfortable beds, nice linens and many little things that made for a very relaxing stay. We thought we’d visit a number of the villages in the area, but found ourselves just wanting to relax at the house and on the local beaches instead. If we come back to the area, we are 100% staying here again. Also, although there are good restaurants in town, cooking was easy bc there’s a BBQ on the patio, lots of spices and pots/pans to cook with and plenty of plates/cups/glasses/etc. It’s a well stocked kitchen - much more so than many other places I’ve stayed. If you’re thinking about this place, stop looking at other options and book it. You won’t regret your decision. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!!

Since I was looking for quiet holidays right by the sea it was ideal. Maria and Tomaso are very friendly and helpful also with bike rental nearby. A car or bike is necessary if you want to go to the center or to the promenade or to the sandy beach Spiagga di Torre San Giovanni. The promenade/center can be reached in 15 minutes by bike and on your way home you will drive into the sunset. Great. Looking forward to the next visit to Torre San Giovanni!

Loved our stay here! Just at the end of the bay - perfect position. Just a couple of minutes to reach restaurants and shops. Bright, airy and modern apartment. Fantastic lounge with great balcony. Really comfy beds and pillows. Would definitely stay again if we are back in Otranto.

Incredible historic house in the middle of Otranto Old Town, in a quiet passage, and next to everithing. Very comfortable, very spacious and newly renovated. The parking permit the property has is very useful and saves money! We had a wonderfull stay! Otranto is really a place to visit!

We were happy to stay in the apartment and in Gallipoli, where we spent a week. The apartment is cozy and well-equipped and we were particularly happy with the two terraces - and with the location in the old town and close to the beach. Communication was easy, and we were welcomed by Serena who was very kind and helpful to us. We can highly recommend the apartment.

The accommodation is tastefully and modernly furnished. We enjoyed the sunset from our own terrace every evening, just fantastic views! Within walking distance are the two charming places with beach promenade! Parking was easily possible right in front of the house in October. Lorenzo and the co-hosts were always helpful and very friendly - highly recommended!

Lovely apartment! Fresh and clean. Cafes, restaurants and beach within walking distance. Try to catch the fruit/vegetable truck. It stops near the apartment a few times a week. Really good and cheap fruit! Our host was quick to answer and helped us every time without hesitation. She even fixed a brand new high chair for our baby❤️

We absolutely loved this little house, a real corner of paradise! What the photos don't show is that the little house is located on a hill with a beautiful garden + sea view as well as olive and flower/wild grass fields surrounding the house. It is also possible to follow very beautiful small trails in the fields from the house. The accommodation is very well equipped and the kitchen is fully functional. We also really enjoyed the location: many beautiful beaches are nearby and it is very easy to get around the surrounding villages / towns. In short, we recommend 100%!!

Nando’s house is simply superb, it is a beautiful home, with plenty of space, stylishly decorated, with an incredible terrace. It was impeccably clean & everything you could want is provided. It is an easy walk to town, where there are beautiful beaches & great restaurants. The parking permit was very helpful to use. Nando provides a great guest guide with all the local recommendations. Nando himself met us to check in, he is warm & friendly, & all his communication before & during our stay was great & very responsive. He was a truly great host, & ensured we had a perfect stay in Otranto. Highly recommend staying here & would happily return.

We were charmed by this little corner of heaven. Comfortable bed, immaculate space, functional for cooking and perfect for relaxing outside. We appreciated the availability of the bikes since the village is very close. Andrea gave us excellent suggestions for restaurants.

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.

Lovely rustic villa, with sea views. Great location with an easy easy walk to town with cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed a quiet stay and parking was available in the street.

Adriana is a super helpful lady present and always ready to help and advise on nearby places to visit or where to eat. The house matches the directions entered and very clean. We had a great and quiet time. He spoiled us with some culinary...so welcome. Very kind person. Nice vacation

Very nice rental with a superb shaded terrace, a little isolated from the center. Easy access for walking along the sea

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.

Wonderful apartment with three bedrooms, all with own bathroom. Everything present what you need and the terrace view is amazing. As clearly stated, the stairs are challenging, would not do it with small children or any disability. But the stairs are like an ancient building- beautiful! We had an amazing time, thank you!

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!

We have a wonderful time in this stylish apartment. Francesco was a real super host, flexible, friendly and always ready to help us. Hopefully we can come back!

I would not hesitate to recommend this air bnb or to stay there again. So nice to personally meet the hosts who were extremely welcoming & friendly. The seaview terrace was great for taking in the view, enjoying the night lights, as well as soaking up the sun while enjoying a glass of wine. Easy walking distance to the beach & numerous restaurants.

5-nights stay with 6 friends Very professional host and service, always available if needed. Also, mid-stay cleaning service included in the price. Breathtaking terrace and very nice house with cosy, renovated interior. Excellent location 10 metres from the beach. Air conditioning everywhere in the house, easily adjustable to your liking. All in all very good!

Loved my experience here. Beautiful location. People are friendly in the building and surrounding area. Giovanni is warm and communicative. There was coffee and other necessities to cook. I hope to make it back there one day. Thank you Giovanni.

Wow! What an extraordinary Airbnb. The balcony and views are absolutely stunning. We loved being surrounded by the ocean and the private ocean access to swim. Stefania was such a warm welcoming host. We had some delays and she went above and beyond to ensure we got settled in seamlessly. The airbnb itself is even more charming than the pictures, especially the kitchen which is well equipped with everything we needed to cook our own meals. The airbnb is also walking distance to all the main activities in Santa Cesare Terme but also feels private. We were in a group with a toddler and the airbnb was well set up for our needs. We hope to be back!
