Hotel Minerva

This was a cute, simple, clean hotel. We only stayed one night as we had to switch to a hotel set up by our hiking agency - but we would have been happy to just stay here! Our room was actually a sitting room plus a bedroom so it was large and comfortable. It also had a beautiful large balcony! We were up a couple flights of stairs (no elevator) but easy for us with only carry on luggage. The breakfast was lovely with options to eat inside or out on the lovely patio. It was a easy 5 - 7 minute walk into the charming town and waterfront.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, breakfast was excellent and the front desk person was very helpful and gave us many good informations. We did appreciate it very much and the location was great too. We will recommend this hotel to our friends and family. Thank you Hotel Minerva!!!

All was great!!!

The location not far from the historical center, with street parking, friendly reception by Marco, always available for answering our needs. The stile is a bit “retro” but very clean.Nice 2 bedroom rooms with a large balcony, that fit us 3 very well. Good breakfast.

Not recommended for people with motor disability.

Very quiet, spacious room. Good shower with immediate hot water. Friendly staff.

The breakfast was fabulous. Smelled so good coming out of our room.Host was especially helpful and kind. He was a pleasure to meet.

We had a lovely stay at Hotel Minerva in Otranto. Even though it was winter, the room was very warm. We had asked for a ground floor and Hotel Minerva accommodated our request. The room was very large and the bed very comfortable. The room and bathroom were extremely clean. The breakfast was fabulous with an array of sweet and savory dishes. Our host was very pleasant and very helpful with parking our car and our two miniature schnauzers were very welcome. Otranto is very interesting with a castle and a magnificent cathedral and this hotel is within a five minute walk to centro storico. We would highly recommend this hotel for your next stay in Otranto.

We loved everything!

Hotel brilliantly situated , very short walk from the town . Staff wonderful and helpful. Great breakfast. Marco charming and a perfect host . Thanks to all.

We were greeted so warmly and kindly offered an earlier check in and good advice on local restaurants and a boat trip - breakfast was beautiful and varied.

Nothing- we would stay again!

The owner/Manager allowed us to check in earlier. We had a hard time parking in a small spot (normal in Italy) and he was kind enough to park the car for us. Gave us a map and some recommendations for restaurants.

The location is near the old town known as "Centro Storico". The staff is very nice. The breakfast is good with many delicious local home made dishes. Nearby there is a parking lot "Castello Otranto Parcheggio" and the cost is 4 Euro for the stay, even it will be couples of days.

The size of the room and the size of the beds.

Perfect location for old town and beach just minutes away. On street free parking possible. Owners are the best who really care for guests. Home baked goodies for breakfast which is plentiful and tasty. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Highly recommended.

Comfortable and clean hotel in close proximity ( 250m ) to the centre and with a very helpful host who provided us with excellent local info and good recommendations, very happy with our stay.

No complaints at all.

Cleanliness was amazing simply Decor comfortable beds couldn't ask for anything else location to town was great if your looking a truly Italian experience then this is the place for you. Also don't forget Mr Marco with the host was great and very hospitable would highly recommend. The simple things in life are some the best.

Well located close to town.Very clean room, comfortable pillow and mattresses.Really superb breakfast, fabulous cakes cooked by the owner, Marco. He is super helpful and pleasant.Really lovely staff.Nice front terrace

WiFi almost nil in room but good in Reception and front terrace

Highly recommended. Ideally located, 5 -10 mins walk from historical centre. Room was very clean and comfortable as was the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent, a good selection of home made cakes/pastries along with cereal and fruits/ham/cheese etc, all served in a lovely little dining area. There was also a nice little front garden area with further dining tables and comfortable seating. Communication was excellent. Marco was very friendly, the perfect host providing a personal service by helping with transfers to and from the airport and making recommendations for things to do/places to eat. Also, he kindly provided early check-in/late check-out to tie in with our flights. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again!

Happy with everything

Marco the owner was extremely friendly & helpful from start to finish The hotel is in an excellent location only 5 mins walk from Ontrano castle and the harbourfrontBreakfast was simple but really nice with fresh coffee and home baked goods each day

Nothing to say.

Marco was very welcoming and helpful....and he makes delicious cakes!Great breakfast.Good location a short walk to the castle and old townof Otranto.

All good

Nice small hotel within a walking distance from the old city. We were greeted personally by the owner on arrival. The staff was extremely helpful. The room was spacious and clean. A bottle of water in the fridge was a nice extra.Parking is possible for free on the street (although it is very difficult to find a place). We eventually left our car at the paid parking (6 euro per 24 hours) nearby (5 minutes walk)

Lovely and welcoming check in staff who kindly carried our bags up the stairs. Room was very clean and comfortable. Shutters were great to make the room really dark. Good location with easy walking distance into old town. Lovely breakfast!! Better than we expected!

There was a bad smell coming from the drain in the bathroom which caused the room to smell funny.

My very first rating 10. Extremely nice and helpful owner and all the staff. Very clean room. Quiet balcony facing the courtyard. The old town center and beaches are within walking distance. We will definitely come back if we travel to Otranto.
