Ginosa Marina Vacations from $391

Not what I was expected. I know we came during off season but in May. The winery seem to be well known in the area but it wasn't open. They don't really have staff in attendance, but you can always reach them by email or phone if you have local cell phone. They use an app to access the gate into the venue unfortunately that our connection wasn't always the greatest and we needed to ask our friend to open the gate for us. We only saw one or two other guests in the hotel so it is really too quiet without staff around.

This was the most magnificent property during our vacation. Outstanding customer service, phenomenal property, gorgeous decor and landscaping, incredible breakfast. Absolutely à gem of a hotel. Top notch luxury. Thank you to all the fabulous staff that took care of us. Andrew and Jim. Grazie!

€55 for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella on the hotels private beach EXTORTIONATE

20 mins drive north of Brindisi airport, this is a huge all inclusive resort - its about a mile from the sea but has a Tourist Train that runs to and from the beach all day. We visited at the end of the season (they were getting ready to close for winter) and I cant imagine how crazy this resort would be in August - the canteen (it really cant be described as a restaurant) is immense - 3 massive rooms, which would be insane if full. Also there are huge swimming pools with hundreds of sun loungers and umbrellas around them. Again, it was OK off season as it was quiet, but would be crazy if full during the school holidays.

Room was immaculate, staff very helpful and friendly, breakfast was ok , did the job . fantastic location . Don’t pay for parking if you hire a car , plenty of spaces on road
