We booked based on TA rating for final days of a 18 day trip to Sicily and Puglia. Upon arrival, we questioned whether we had made a mistake because we were nowhere near the town of Peschici and the room interiors are definitely dated. However, as so many reviews have indicated, we were soon won over by the charming hospitality,... More

This is a fabulous place for a sunny vacation. Perched on a hill with views of the sea, the locanda gives its guests the option of an oasis of calm away from the bustle of the busy resort town of Peschici. The host delights in introducing the best of local food (including excellent fish) and wine to his guests and... More

There must be a good reason if this hotel is ranked No. 1 in Peschici. And it's because it can't get any better. My wife and I just finished our stay here and found the place to be very beautiful, immaculately kept, conveniently located near the beach and the charming town of Peschici yet nestled in a quiet, sun splashed...

Set in a massive and beautiful house up a hill surrounded by olive trees and flowers with an amazing view, this hotel is fantastic!!! We had a relaxing and romantic time there watching the sunset in the sea from our balcony or from the lovely main terrace over the mama's home made liquor. We also ate there a few times... More

We truly enjoyed our 5-day stay there and Martino is the most attentive and charming of hosts, always ready to help and guide you. The breakfast (included in the price) is wonderful with a lot of choice of both sweet and salty things, all the cakes are homemade. In the evening we enjoyed staying there for dinner, served at 8:00... More

Just returned from a delightful week at the 3* Locanda della Castellana run by Marino and his family. Most guests are Italian and the 14 rooms are booked solid during the summer months, so plan ahead. We had booked 2 “apartment” rooms, one for ourselves and the other our teenage children. The apartment splits into two rooms, one main bedroom... More

Marino and his family hosted us on our honeymoon in May 2011 and we had such a lovely time here. Peschici itself is quite run down we thought, however this hotel was fantastic. So welcoming and lovely. Our room was bright and airy we had delicious meals, breakfast and dinner were both fab. The fact that it was out of... More

We had a great experience at this hotel, the views, food and service was nothing we can compare to. The home cooked food from Mamma, Marino and Maria was amazing. The place is kept in great condition and great location not too close to the hustle and bustle but easy to get beach and the town. Highly recommended

Like many reviewing here, we booked on the strength of the high star rating. We actually mistook it's location with another hotel and thought it was in the old town, so we're initaly a bit concerned we had made a mistake as it is in a small vally behind the town, a five minuet drive away. How wrong we were!... More
