It has an excellent location, on the high ground, very near the tower which gives the town its name. The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, with (in many cases) superb views out over the bay. Great food and service. As well as the restaurant there is a friendly cafe in the hotel. If you`re coming by car, expect a slightly circuitous route around the town`s quasi-one way system; and aim for the parking spaces marked with white lines (very near the hotel) ... and get a (free) parking permit as soon as you check in. Altogether a delightful and memorable place. .
The location was the reason I booked this hotel. But it went above and beyond. Service was excellent due to the staff that had taken very seriously to satisfy their clients. I'm very impressed by such training that I only find in high end hotels.
This was our favorite hotel in a 5 week, 15 hotel trip. The front desk staff are amazingly friendly, and have is cappuccino on our arrival and bottled water on departure. Roma are big, comfy beds, amazing views. Breakfast was amazing, and the staff at breaky were amazing. We would stay again in a heartbeat.
First of all I want to say the service at this hotel was exceptional. The young girl on reception was amazing and we also left something at the hotel and they helped ship it to our next hotel. The hotel was lovely and we ate the restaurant which was very tasty and so was breakfast. We did arrive on a Sunday and it was very busy with loud music everywhere. Fireworks were going off it wasn’t our sort of place. If you go in the week I think it would be amazing.
We had a great experience at this place. Everyone was so nice and friendly. The place is right on the water, and Marco at the front desk gave us a free upgrade to a Panaromic room, so we had the best view.
The breakfast was delicious as well.
If you are planning a trip there, you must stay at this hotel.
This hotel was so lovely! The ambiance was very modern and upscale, everything was very clean, the breakfast was AMAZING ( and we ate dinner in the restaurant too - very yummy with great views) and the staff was fantastic - very helpful above and beyond arranging a Sunday wine tasting for us. Highly recommend.
We loved our stay at the Belvedere Hotel!!! Superb location, beautiful view right on the sea, A very nice sandy beach right at the hotel and their breakfast was wonderful. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff and service we received. Everyone was very kind, and we especially enjoyed our breakfasts, always served with a smile and by day 2 they knew our orders perfectly, all while overlooking the beautiful sea. We highly recommend this hotel!!!
The reception people are amazing and very helpful. Unfortunately visiting in March there was really nowhere to eat except the hotel. It was okay but a little pricey in my opinion. The view from the hotel is spectacular, especially the rooftop terrace ☺️
This was an amazing stay. The room was clean and up to date. In a summer resort town, we were there in October (shoulder season). You would think the staff would be minimal, but not so. They were in full force ready to assist. The dinner and breakfast were superb! The surrounding scenery of the Adriatic and the coastal vies were great.
I would come back here in again.
I was a little apprehensive before arriving at Hotel Belvedere: the reviews were excellent, it wasn’t booked up and it was great value. It seemed almost too good to be true.
I needn’t have worried. The staff were wonderful, the hotel is comfortable, spotless and has a cool 1960s Miami vibe, and it was indeed excellent value. Torre Dell’Orso is a beach town with a very good beach, a few decent pizzerias, bars and gelaterias. It’s a very convenient spot from which to explore Otranto, Gallipoli and beautiful coastline.
Property was in a great location with fantastic views. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The property was close to various restaurants and the beach. We loved our stay.
Perfect location overlooking the beach, minutes from bars and restaurants The reception team especially Vanessa were very helpful providing advice on Covid testing and making calls. Excellent restaurant and on street parking great all round choice
