We had a lovely stay at Hotel Minerva in Otranto. Even though it was winter, the room was very warm. We had asked for a ground floor and Hotel Minerva accommodated our request. The room was very large and the bed very comfortable. The room and bathroom were extremely clean. The breakfast was fabulous with an array of sweet and savory dishes. Our host was very pleasant and very helpful with parking our car and our two miniature schnauzers were very welcome. Otranto is very interesting with a castle and a magnificent cathedral and this hotel is within a five minute walk to centro storico. We would highly recommend this hotel for your next stay in Otranto.

We loved everything!

Highly recommended. Ideally located, 5 -10 mins walk from historical centre. Room was very clean and comfortable as was the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent, a good selection of home made cakes/pastries along with cereal and fruits/ham/cheese etc, all served in a lovely little dining area. There was also a nice little front garden area with further dining tables and comfortable seating. Communication was excellent. Marco was very friendly, the perfect host providing a personal service by helping with transfers to and from the airport and making recommendations for things to do/places to eat. Also, he kindly provided early check-in/late check-out to tie in with our flights. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again!

Happy with everything

Great location to central city and sightseeing. All walking distances. Parking was luckily available on street outside hotel but assistance given where to park. Maria and Marco very friendly and helpful. The best variety of breakfast options we have had in Italy. Definitely recommend staying here. Rooms basic but clean and comfortable.

The location not far from the historical center, with street parking, friendly reception by Marco, always available for answering our needs. The stile is a bit “retro” but very clean. Nice 2 bedroom rooms with a large balcony, that fit us 3 very well. Good breakfast.

Not recommended for people with motor disability.

The location is near the old town known as "Centro Storico". The staff is very nice. The breakfast is good with many delicious local home made dishes. Nearby there is a parking lot "Castello Otranto Parcheggio" and the cost is 4 Euro for the stay, even it will be couples of days.

The size of the room and the size of the beds.

The staff were helpful, warm & friendly. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable & quiet. And a lovely seating area/terrace for breakfast & also with easy chairs to relax in the evening under big sunshades.

There was nothing I didn't like

Nice small hotel within a walking distance from the old city. We were greeted personally by the owner on arrival. The staff was extremely helpful. The room was spacious and clean. A bottle of water in the fridge was a nice extra. Parking is possible for free on the street (although it is very difficult to find a place). We eventually left our car at the paid parking (6 euro per 24 hours) nearby (5 minutes walk)
