Room was big and clean. Staff was helpful and nice. Santa Cesarea Terme is a small "town", but the place is still very well located. The villa itself is amazing! Breakfast was rich too.
Just 200 metres from the Adriatic Sea, Hotel Aurora del Benessere & Spa offers a seasonal outdoor pool and free WiFi throughout. The Terme di Santa Cesarea thermal baths are 3 minutes' walk away.

Nice pool area but had to ask for towels in the reception since personnel in pool bar (during daytime) spoke absolutely no english. Toilet an shower in pool area wasn’t cleaned during the 4 nights we stayed there…

Fabulous! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, a few minutes walk from all activities; pool, lido, beach, bars. And the rooftop view is just stunning!

The host is really really nice, she gives a lot of recommendations for restaurants that are all very good. The outside is beautiful, with a beautiful view on the sea. It's very well kept and we really enjoyed staying there. The apartment was very clean and nicely made.
Featuring a free outdoor pool, B&B Terra Serena is just outside the village of Cerfignano in the Salento countryside and less than 10 minutes' drive from Santa Cesarea Terme on the coast.

It is not as lively as other Southern Italian cities.
It is not as lively as other Southern Italian cities. It felt a bit like a town for the elderly and it reminded me of the movie 'Youth'. Though quiet, it could be exactly what you are looking for. Just know that Otranto or Monopoli for example are lifelier than Santa Cesarea Terme...

Bagni Caicco is a beautiful place to enjoy the sea.
Bagni Caicco is a beautiful place to enjoy the sea. The villa of late art director Carmelo Bene is an intriguing place. I suggest to move to Castro for eating. Driving from a village to another takes always longer than you could expect !

This beautiful historic villa was the perfect place for our healing escape to the Puglia region of southern Italy. The staff was fantastic. Our Daily breakfast (which was included as a part of our package) never disappointed. Also the location with views of the sea was convenient for walking, exploring and our daily visits to the Terme.

We visited when the festival was on which had a fantastic fireworks display. Santa Cesarea Terme is a small town itself but a great location for exploring the coastline of Salento. In Santa Cesarea Terme itself there is the beautiful Porto Miggiano beach with crystal clear waters. We also visited Castro Marina, Porto Badisco, Torre Sant'andrea, Grotta della poesia etc all within a short drive. You do need a car for getting around to all these places. We took a boat trip from Castro Marina to see the caves and this was a great way to see them.

Great location, fantastic staff, well maintained hotel, simple nice rooms with spectacular view (if you took the ocean facing ones). We loved the great rooftop bar. Very nice breakfast area. Lovely plants everywhere. Impeccably clean.
Kudos to all the genuinely friendly and helpful staff that makes you feel at home and make the stay so pleasant. The gentleman and the lady at the restaurant are very friendly and attentive to their client's individual wishes.
Whilst super super lovely staff and an amazing location it is clear this venue is set up for weddings, or beach parties Pre covid times. The rooms and whole property appear to need a renovation to renew the facilities and we had a rather uncomfortable sleep in a dated looking room just off the car park. We ended up moving to another hotel. Glad for them they seem to get wedding bookings and we wish the staff well. Great location though!
Gabriella made our stay fantastic. She is a great host and super helpful. She treated us like family and went above and beyond to help us out in every way. The hotel is in a great location and very pretty with beautiful views of the water. Great breakfast selection too. We will definitely be back when in the area. Grazie Gabriella di tutto. Sei una persona fantastica!
Fantastic, very spacious property with beautiful views over the sea. We felt so at ease and comfortable here, cooking facilities suited us well as we like to cook on the occasional evening. It was all super clean and well equipped. Nicola was so informative and welcoming, providing us with lots of useful information of the area and where to visit. Just great.
We had a perfect stay at a beautiful location. Plenty of beautiful beaches to visit, not too crowdy, and Otranto is also a very nice place to see. Antonio is a wonderfull host, willing to help us out all the time. Even when we arrived very late at night due to circumstances, he welcomed us with open arms. Grazie Antonio!
Receptionist / person who ran the hotel was great. Super welcoming, also knew the town well and could answer questions about where to swim, eat or how to get to places.
Rooms are spacious enough to be comfortable. What It did not say when booking was the room had its own spa/hot tub on the balcony!!!!! Awesome.
Swimming pool with healing water in front of the hotel. Rooms with view on the sea. Close to different restaurants. Very helpful, nice and guests oriented receptionists. Free parking at the back of the hotel. Good breakfasts.
The pool was great, the staff was professional and friendly. Hotel has a nice feel to it.
Family room is good. Two rooms! One with a double bed and the other with twin beds.
Hotel is walking distance from town center.
The residence is in a quite environmnent, close to the sea (by car 5 mins) and to a beautiful beach. The pool is very clean and comfortable for small children. The staff is kind and helpful. Highly recommended!
