Talsano Vacations from $1,339

Lovely hotel and facilities. Delicious food. Large rooms. Contemporary and luxurious fittings. Restful and quiet stay. Genuine 5 star review. Just be aware it's 30 mins drive from Lecce in rather featureless countryside. Once you enter the gates it's a different world.

This is a beautiful property on a very nice private beach. Very relaxing. It is quite isolated and we did not buy the full board but ended up eating at the facilities all the time - so we should have gotten the all included as everyone else. It is very family oriented and there are a lot of kids. Staff at the restaurant and bar on the beach excellent. The hotel restaurant was a hit or miss with the service and they were seriously understaffed.

Book immediately! This place was magical; the staff, the food, the pool-it all exceeded our expectations. The staff gave us great recommendations for sight seeing, and led us to places we otherwise would not have visited. The dinner blew us away, every taste was rich with flavor. Stefano made our dining experience remarkable with his professionalism and conversation. The owners of this hotel were always around which made the experience feel so down to earth and authentic, their yellow labrador retriever also roams the ground. The free daily breakfast buffet was so good, the quality of food was 5 star. We will be back!
