Ottolire Resort

“A beautiful hotel. The resort is calm and peaceful and from the moment you arrive it is relaxing. The staff are all friendly and welcoming . We had an upgrade to our room which was a welcome surprise. Delicious brekfast , superb supper ( our best meal yet ) . I could not fault this hotel and would recommend to anyone. Would have liked to have stayed longer. Loved the cool pool too !!”

“My stay at Ottolire was truly beautiful. The location is lovely, tucked into the dreamy, TRULLI-dotted countryside of orchards and vineyards, all walled into a stunning property. Very close to towns like Locorotondo, Alberobello and Cisternino and also very easy to go a bit farther to Ostuni, Pogliano a mare and even Matera. Food was fantastic an having the pool and spa was a real plus.”

“Wow – what a truly special place to unwind and relax. Our standard double room was spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The food in the restaurant was very good, and the service from the restaurant manager, Flavio, was excellent. Unfortunately, the service from one of the younger waiters was disappointing, as he came across as having a poor attitude. One small point for improvement: the fresh meat and cheese selection at breakfast was left uncovered, and there were flies on it. Covering these items would help maintain both hygiene and presentation. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely return. Thank you for a memorable stay!”

“We chose Ottolire Resort as the final stop of our two week trip through Puglia - a place to relax and recharge after days of cycling - and it exceeded every expectation. The property itself is stunning: beautifully maintained, impeccably clean, peaceful, and surrounded by the magic of the Valle d'Itria countryside. We loved spending time by the pool, enjoying the spa, and starting and ending each day in the private hot tub on our terrace. What truly sets Ottolire apart, however, is the service. Every member of the staff was genuinely warm, attentive, and eager to help. Whether they were helping us find the perfect hot tub temperature, recommending restaurants, planning day trips, or answering our many questions, they always did so with patience, enthusiasm, and a sincere desire to make our stay special. My sister is gluten-free and had noted this when booking. From the moment we arrived, the team thoughtfully accommodated her at every meal. Gluten-free options appeared without us needing to ask, and special dishes were prepared just for her. The food overall was exceptional, offering our favorite breakfasts of the entire trip to Italy and outstanding dinners each evening. Every dinner felt like an occasion, beginning with a complimentary glass of prosecco and an amuse-bouche, followed by beautifully prepared dishes. Even when we declined dessert, the kitchen would surprise us with a few small sweets to enjoy, which became one of our favorite touches. The location is also ideal - close to Locorotondo, Cisternino, and Alberobello, and an easy drive to Matera. Our final highlight was the spa experience. We had considered booking a much larger and more expensive spa elsewhere, but we are so glad we stayed at Ottolire. The spa is housed in a beautifully restored trullo, creating an intimate and uniquely Puglian experience. The massage therapists tailored each treatment to our individual preferences, and afterward we enjoyed the hot tub and steam room in complete tranquility. It was magical and the perfect way to end our trip. Ottolire gave us exactly what we were hoping for: relaxation, beauty, incredible hospitality, and memories we'll carry with us long after returning home. We would return without hesitation. It was well worth the splurge for us!”
