Beachfront holiday rentals in Torre dell'Orso

The place is excellent. The view of the sea and dusk incredible. The host is a super host, he had lots of patience with us. I managed to lock ourselves out and he came all the way to the house late at night to open it for us. He is the best host I ever had.

Had a wonderful time staying at this spacious and peaceful apartment in the heart of Otranto, really felt like home. The location is impeccable, just steps away from the historic center and a short stroll to the sea. The apartment itself is incredibly bright, quiet, and thoughtfully laid out, offering everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Inside, all was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The host was exceptionally responsive, providing clear check‑in instructions and helpful local tips. Ideal location near both the sea and historic town center with a peaceful ambiance with an abundance of natural light. Overall, this apartment provided everything we hoped for: comfort, convenience, and charm. We highly recommend it for anyone looking to experience Otranto with ease, and would gladly stay again!

We arrived late in the evening because of a delay in our flight. Cosimo's parents nevertheless welcomed us very, very warmly, took a lot of time to show us everything and even got us a pizza. The house is perfect, nice and quiet, offers plenty of space to relax. All the basic equipment you need was there. The house is beautiful, modern and practically furnished and equipped with many small thoughtful details. The outdoor area is very spacious and offers plenty of shade. It's only a few meters to the beach, and during the week there were no people there. We had a perfect week.

A beautiful place to explore wider Puglia from. Great host. Would return. Situated just north of Porto Cesareo. Car essential with parking space inside secure perimeter walls. Most sights were 45-90 minute drive. Modern, clean with comfortable furnishings and beds. Well equipped kitchen. Self-catered: 20 mins to nearest Lidl. Short drive to reach restaurants (10 minutes). End of October still warm and sunny in daytime (shorts, t-shirt and slides). Able to swim in small pool (very refreshing though ☺️) and in the sea at nearby beach (5 mins walk: sandy and shallow). Arrived after a severe rain so suffered more with mosquitoes outside which stopped us sitting out in the evenings sadly. Solar-powered hot water very limited (max 2 very short showers). No hot water from kitchen tap. Immersion heater did not seem to get temperature past tepid even after a couple of hours. Would be less of an issue in high summer. Out of season largely was silent around (beach club noise one evening).

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.

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.

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.

Although the apartment is a little spartan – maybe a picture in the bedroom would create some atmosphere, or the sofa could be a little more cozy – we felt very comfortable. The view of the sea is wonderful. A few steps over rugged rocks to the water is wonderful. According to the season, it was very windy and the sea accordingly rough – but in the idyllic bay of Cala dell 'Acquaviva we were still able to bathe fine. Also highly recommended along the coastal road along other bizzarre swimming opportunities, such as Spiaggia e Piscina Naturale di Marina Serra. And in Tricase Porto there is the best cafe...

Angelo is one of the best hosts we've encountered. He responded promptly to all our questions before we arrived, picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. He had wine waiting for us at the house when we arrived. We miscalculated the availability of bus service in May, thinking we could bus from Casalabete to Brindisi to rent a car. Angelo anticipated our need and arranged a car rental for us. On the way out he even took a detour to show us some features of the area we asked about. The house is in a nice location, right over the dunes from the beach. The yard and pool are exceptionally nice, with plenty of outdoor seating areas in a private setting. The house is comfortable, but a bit dated inside, with a small kitchen (although it has lots of refrigerator and freezer space) and could use some better lighting. This is a really nice place for a beach vacation.

We loved our stay in this beach house by the sea. Allesandro had made it very comfortable and provided so many extra treats. It was so quiet, relaxing and calm with great restaurants nearby and many beautiful places to visit.

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 stayed in apartment 3 for 11 days, it is a clean apartment with lovely soft towels and super good beds. According to the site, it has a kitchenette, however it has a coffee and tea machine and fridge with freezer compartment. There is a large communal kitchen with a gas hob, dishwasher, large fridge freezer all you need is there. There is a large swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds and a place with lovely chairs in the shade. The accommodation is very quiet, wonderful if you like peace and quiet. Within 15 minutes you are at the beach or in a town. We had a great time at the Masseria La Noa and would definitely recommend it for other guests

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.

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!

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

We had a lovely visit in Otranto and loved staying in Janela Blue. It is on a central, quiet street in a charming location, walking distance to the entire old town. Loved having the small balcony to enjoy our morning coffee.

It was unique. We enjoyed the seclusion very much. Luckily, we were the only ones. Francesco was always available and Daniela always came by when we needed her. Everything was sparkling clean.

The accommodation was a bit small, but the space was optimally used and the wonderful, large terrace with a fantastic sea view outweighs everything. It is modern and tastefully furnished and everything you need for 2 people is available. It was also wonderful that a lot of water came out of the shower head. :). The hostess' mother, Valeria, welcomed us lovingly, took care of us and was very anxious that we feel comfortable, which was really the case. The apartment is wonderfully located between 2 smaller towns with nice restaurants and bars, which can be reached in 15 minutes on foot. Private parking at the house is also available. We would very much like to come back.

We were really comfortable. Very kind from the welcome to the goodbyes at the end of the vacation. Clean apartment and located in a great spot. Close to many amenities and especially to the sea. An experience that could easily be repeated.

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.

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
