Beachfront vacation rentals in Porto Cesareo

Lucci d'Oriente exceeded our expectations. The apartment is spacious, cheerfully decorated and equipped with absolutely everything: nothing is missing. From every window you can see the sea, as if you were inside it. The terrace with direct access to the sea is a real privilege. Going up from there to the apartment requires some effort, but it's totally worth it. It is ideal for a family with children, very comfortable and functional. Santa Cesarea Terme is quiet, with some options for eating light and enjoying an ice cream. The parking lot next door is free if there is space, and very accessible if you pay. Rita and Stefano were exceptional hosts: attentive, friendly and always available. They made us feel right at home. We would definitely come back!

The place is excellent. The view of the sea and dusk incredible. The host is a super host, he had lots of patience with us. I managed to lock ourselves out and he came all the way to the house late at night to open it for us. He is the best host I ever had.

Perfect stay right near the beach that felt like home! This property has super comfortable beds, nice linens and many little things that made for a very relaxing stay. We thought we’d visit a number of the villages in the area, but found ourselves just wanting to relax at the house and on the local beaches instead. If we come back to the area, we are 100% staying here again. Also, although there are good restaurants in town, cooking was easy bc there’s a BBQ on the patio, lots of spices and pots/pans to cook with and plenty of plates/cups/glasses/etc. It’s a well stocked kitchen - much more so than many other places I’ve stayed. If you’re thinking about this place, stop looking at other options and book it. You won’t regret your decision. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!!

Very good stay at Cosimo's. We were very well received by his parents who were very responsive to our requests. Very nice cottage with its beautiful gazebo. we had a pleasant stay. thank you for your welcome. Nicole

From the minute he greeted me at check-in, I could sense Donato’s enthusiasm about hosting in addition to his kindness, and I’m grateful I stayed at his fantastic top-floor apt. with an amazing sea view. After he showed me where to park (for free) and then gave me a tour of the apt., I began to explore the town by foot. The town’s natural and architectural attractions are simply unbelievable, namely its unique, jaw-dropping swimming spots and beaches. So, be sure to explore Porto Miggiano and Cala Porticciolo. During my stay I appreciated the comfortable bed, the darkening window shades, using the washing machine and full kitchen, the cross breezes, the AC when needed, making espresso, and, above all, watching the sea from the balcony. Donato has thought of everything, so whether you’re a single traveler, or family of four, you’ll feel comfortable in this gem. When I return to SCT, I hope to stay here! Thank you, Donato!

very spacious, bright and comfortable accommodation, in a strategic location for reaching the most beautiful places in Salento. equipped with a beautiful and spacious garden. equipped with all the necessary amenities, spacious and well-equipped kitchen. a truly remarkable accommodation.

Beautiful three bedroom 3 1/2 bathroom huge well equipped apartment. Private garage parking The beach is across the street where the Sunset views are available.

Our stay here was a paradise. The super clean house was charming, eco friendly, nature filled and extremely well equipped. The location was quiet and yet very close to cafe supermarket and beach/swim places. Remarkable restaurants also. I would highly recommend Donatello and Massimina’s naturalistic home to anyone seeking charm and quiet. They are such lovely hosts too. Many thanks for our fab stay.

Angelo is one of the best hosts we've encountered. He responded promptly to all our questions before we arrived, picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. He had wine waiting for us at the house when we arrived. We miscalculated the availability of bus service in May, thinking we could bus from Casalabete to Brindisi to rent a car. Angelo anticipated our need and arranged a car rental for us. On the way out he even took a detour to show us some features of the area we asked about. The house is in a nice location, right over the dunes from the beach. The yard and pool are exceptionally nice, with plenty of outdoor seating areas in a private setting. The house is comfortable, but a bit dated inside, with a small kitchen (although it has lots of refrigerator and freezer space) and could use some better lighting. This is a really nice place for a beach vacation.

We loved our stay in this beach house by the sea. Allesandro had made it very comfortable and provided so many extra treats. It was so quiet, relaxing and calm with great restaurants nearby and many beautiful places to visit.

A really impeccable, as seen in the photos Super clean and tidy! Really a great house to go on vacation Francesco is a very accommodating host

Eros was very responsive and helpful. Great location and good view from the balcony.

Absolutely exceptional stay – beyond all expectations! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Paolo was an outstanding host – warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay as perfect as possible. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly well taken care of. The villa itself is just amazing – full of character, thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and spotlessly clean. But the real highlight? The view. Absolutely breathtaking. Photos don’t do it justice – it’s something you have to see with your own eyes. This place is a hidden gem, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Paolo, for everything – you’ve set the bar impossibly high!

We had an amazing stay at Francesca’s. We were in contact with Lukas who was extremely helpful, clear and friendly. At check in, Lukas met us and showed us around, he had many local recommendations for us. Throughout the stay he was super responsive and helpful. The first morning we woke up to fresh croissant and pasticciotti!! The house was beautiful, very spacious, full of light and extremely clean. There are many places to sit and many amenities like the pool, outside showers, hammocks and outside BBQ area. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you.

Great place to unwind with the pool available for use and the nearby beaches a short walk or drive away. The listing is as described with everything you need. Only downside was a lot of the nearby restaurants and shops were closed due to the time of year we visited. Suspect during the summer months this would not be the case.

We enjoyed staying at Marco's apartment very much. The view of the sea and the terrace with pool are beautiful. Beds are very comfortable. There is a good beach bar at the beautiful, nearby bay. Castro is just within walking distance. One advantage was the private parking space on the premises. The communication with Giorgio was quick and uncomplicated.

This apartment is truly special. Camilla was an excellent host, helpful and responsive. I want to go back some day. Thank you.

This is a fantastic place and we’d highly recommend it! Beautiful, spacious, spotless, well-decorated apartment in a great location with roof terraces (plural!) with amazing views. Ludovica was the perfect host- very responsive and helpful and the apartment guide was a very thoughtful and useful addition. Gallipoli is also a great place to stay when exploring Puglia, with lovely local beaches, good restaurants, activities and other towns in easy distance. Thank you Ludovica!

Daniela and Valentino are top hosts. Daniela speaks perfect English, and happily recommends things around, kitchen with extra amenities to start your cooking, breakfast etc even wine and taralli 😊 found difficult to leave il lentisco.

We had a wonderful stay in Gallipoli. The apartment has everything you need for daily life and is very quiet. The roof terrace overlooking the sea is simply fantastic and you can quickly get to the old town on foot. Clear recommendation!

5-nights stay with 6 friends Very professional host and service, always available if needed. Also, mid-stay cleaning service included in the price. Breathtaking terrace and very nice house with cosy, renovated interior. Excellent location 10 metres from the beach. Air conditioning everywhere in the house, easily adjustable to your liking. All in all very good!

I love places with a sea view from above. I loved this place. Especially the room on the ground floor... From where I could admire the magical sunrise every morning! Antonella was very welcoming and always responsive! The only flaw is not being able to access the sea directly from there. It would be fabulous if they could find a way to do it. The place is suitable for those who love tranquility, the wind and the sound of the sea! ❤️

This house and the garden are so perfect, charming, relaxing, comfortable, all the details are impressive, you will have everything you need. Giuseppe is very kind and welcoming. Thank you very much for all the gifts. I love my stay. The location is perfect to discover the Salento and Puglia in general. I will come back

We can’t say enough about our stay in Otranto. Giuseppe was responsive and accommodating and also provided assistance above and beyond what we expected. He was there for anything we needed and made our stay even better than we could’ve hoped for. The location was spectacular and the home beyond beautiful. The decor and furnishings selected made you feel you were in the palace it once used to be and it was so comfortable! A perfect place to cook a lovely dinner - it had everything we needed and more. Also perfect to return to after a day out to enjoy the soft sea breeze and unbeatable view with a nightcap and conversations of a day well spent. The location was in the heart of historic Otranto (parking was no problem!) and was walkable to restaurants, shops & the weekly market where we bought fresh mozzarella and vegetables for our lovely dinner. This was the perfect location to enjoy Otranto and take day trips to other Puglia gems. We highly recommend and would stay again!!
