"The rooms were renovated recently and it's very clean and quiet.
I'm trying to learn Italian, so it was wonderful how patient they are as I tried. And they switched to English when they could tell I needed it.
The staff was wonderfully friendly and helpful. One late night I returned with a bottle of wine, the kitchen closed, and they could not find a corkscrew. They went across the street to a restaurant to find one for me.
I was nervous about the proximity to the rail station, but the...

Beautiful property. Excellent location. Not only would I stay there again if in Lecce, or Apuglia, but I am very interested in visiting the sister properties in Morocco and Paris. Attentive staff. Great restaurant. Could not ask for more!

The check-in staff at Hotel Orientale were helpful & very welcoming. They helped us with our luggage to Palazzo Berllocchi specially the evening shift. We also got a bottle of local bubbly as a complimentary gift. The room was kept clean, towels were changed. The breakfast was a big spread for fruits, hot items and great coffee. Staff in the breakfast room was very friendly & catered to the needs of the clients. Upon check-out, the morning staff helped us get a taxi to the train station....

Beautiful room, charming back patio with outdoor shower. Breakfast area is lovely. Plenty of parking. Delicious breakfast served by helpful staff. Everyone was attentive and communicated well with us even though we speak little Italian. Highly recommend this unique property situated a short drive from downtown Otranto.
