When coming to Galatina for the festival I treat myself to a stay at the Castello Castriota in the city centre at the Piazza Alighieri. I have been here for some years already and look forward to return next summer again. This hotel is a solid choice offering a nice environment with comfortable lounges, open spaces and a spectacular rooftop terrace. The rooms are comfortable and everything necessary (plenty of towels, fridge etc.) is at hand. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, I always love to have a chat.

This was an incredible hotel! It was like staying in an antique shop. The room we had was such a perfection location that overlooked the plaza which was anchored by the Church of Saints Peter & Paul. There are a number of bars and food options very close. All the important sites in Galatina are a easy walk from the hotel's location. The breakfast offered by the hotel was excellent and the young ladies who handled check-in/out and breakfast were very friendly and helpful in getting settled and providing information about the area. I would most definitely stay here again.

Charming building in a great location. Characterful rooms, lovely views, especially from the big roof terrace. The bigger rooms are excellent.

Very steep stairs ( no lift) to our room Room was cramped (small) bathroom tiny

The hotel is right in the city center. The view is fantastic and the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Location splendida

Prima colazione insufficiente

Gorgeous building in an excellent location, particularly for the festival.

location was excellant, beautiful building, spacious rooms.

steep stairs

The hotel is quirky and well furnished. Interesting

There is a break in the reception staff each day which made it a little frustrating to check in

the location and the terrace were certainly the best parts. Go there if you travel light or if you manage to book a bigger room

We were given the smallest room (and without cathedral view) despite paying for a twin cathedral view room on Booking. Regardless of the view, the room was really too small (and not tall enough for me) for 5 nights (of a 2 week holiday). We didn’t even have room to open or store our luggage flat and had stuff all over the place. The access to the room was also challenging with a very steep and narrow stair and no lift. We asked to be moved to a different one but the hotel had no other availability apparently The staff isn’t available past 9 or 10pm, and in 2 occasions we got back to the hotel past that time and found our toilet supplies hadn’t been replenished - and didn’t have anyone to ask. Also, Booking states there is Parking available - but that couldn’t be more incorrect. The Hotel is surrounded by blue parking stalls (where you need to pay) and only few free parking stalls are available farther away from the hotel (but nearly impossible to find empty in high season). Parking was a nightmare (and expensive!) and I would have booked another Hotel had I been told that upfront.

Historical building, breakfast in terrace.

Our room was without window and view and was accesible only by stairs what was so big disadvantage with baggage.
