Waterfront 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!

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!!

We had a lovely stay in Maria’s apartment, the apartment was clean and really nicely presented. The bed is also extremely comfortable and the location is perfect. We stayed for a week in otranto and couldn’t recommend it more, the restaurants were all really well priced and delicious. The town itself is very peaceful and quaint. Maria was very helpful with anything we needed and gave us a lot of recommendations on things to do. Five stars from us!!

Great location! And guiseppinas its a great host ! Thanks

Amazing Place: Very clean with all the little things you need for an extended stay. Beautiful views from the terrace. We used it as a hub to. Visit the beaches of the area. A perfect stay!

Very nice residential area with wonderful roof terrace with views of the sea. Walking distance to the sea in 12 minutes in the center with running. We would rent again in a heartbeat.

Really enjoyed the sea view from the terrace

In all honestly the place was incredible. Beautiful doesnt even begin to cover the view that you are greeted with every morning. Location was great and the beach in front is like a dream!

Beautiful house, super divided for three families, as there are three separate units and you can also retreat well. The disadvantage, however, is that the kitchens are therefore not very large. We imagined the distance to the sea to be smaller, you can already walk there but it is (especially with children) not quite as close as expected. Communication with Giulia was great, she always responded quickly and kindly and was very helpful and accommodating. The apartments were very clean and garden and Pool nice and well maintained.

maximum availability from the manager. great location. right in front of the beach

There were two of us in the accommodation for six nights and we were more than satisfied. May is still before the season, so we were alone in the whole street. The terrace is a dream, but visible to the neighbors. Because we were alone, this was not difficult. We highly recommend the apartment, Fernando was a great host and was always easy to reach and friendly!

Words cannot describe how immensely special and beautiful this home is. Even the walls have soul! Every bedroom is in its own floor, which felt very private. The home is decorated beyond beautifully and is within walking distance of everything on the island, including amazing restaurants. What words cannot explain is how after staying at many Airbnb’s throughout our travels, the host is BEYOND amazing. She provided customized recommendations for everything on the island based on her experiences (the home is a beautifully restored family home)…. Places that avoided the typical tourist traps. She made sure we were absolutely comfortable, going out of her way at every opportunity. If her parking space is free, without a doubt, I recommend getting it as parking is very limited on the island. The view is literally the best in all of Gallipoli. Literally. Enjoyed so many gorgeous sunsets on 5 different terraces!!!!! Of course, the top one with a 360 degree view could not be beat!!!

It was amazing to visit Vincenzo’s flat! They are supernice, and the atmosphere was sooo good! They made dinner courses(it needs to pay), and highly reccomend to experience! It’s better than other ristorante ever! I hope to visit here again :)

The highlight is definitely the view, the terrace overlooks the wonderful sea, we spent wonderful moments dining at sunset watching the sea. Marco has always been available to solve any problem. Recommended.

We had a wonderful week at Antonio’s home. It was even better than the photos and description. Little details like having coffee to make in the morning, some water in the fridge on arrival and cookies for the girls. We arrived quite late and Antonio met us to ensure we got in ok. He was so helpful with recommending some great spots for food, beach clubs, local activities, local supermarkets. In my opinion, Antonio went above and beyond to ensure that we had a lovely holiday.

Very nice, clean, well-equipped apartment with a mega-large garden area. Very nice hosts who welcomed and said goodbye to us with gifts, Giuseppe was always available & everything worked out fine. We'll be back!

We had a very relaxing time in Vittorio's apartment. The large balcony has a great view of the sea. 2 beaches are directly opposite, only across the less busy street from the apartment. The free city beach with the sheltered bay is also within walking distance. The sea is crystal clear and shines in all shades of blue. The old town of Otranto is also within walking distance and offers plenty of restaurants and ice cream parlors. Vittorio welcomed us very nicely, also gave us many tips during the stay and stayed in touch with us. The apartment is lovingly furnished and has everything you need. We recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend a relaxing holiday in Otranto.

Grazie Mille Marcello, Claudio è Luca. The apartment is beautiful, so well equipped and the view was wonderful. We appreciate that you were all so helpful to us. We highly recommend your apartment to other visitors. Ivana

Terrazza Doxi Fontana is a beautiful apartment with large terrace & amazing views from inside and out. The 3 en-suite bedrooms are very similar making sharing fair for everyone. There are lots of stairs to access the apartment so not suitable for people with mobility issues. Once inside it’s on one level and has a good layout. A great place to chill out. No parking available close by at the port so we had to offload luggage and wait with it whilst someone else parked much further away. Inconvenient but workable. Gallipoli was a lovely place to visit whilst exploring Puglia.

Our experience at Elizabeth's apartment was fantastic from start to finish. Communication with her was seamless; she was always quick to assist and answer any questions we had. Elizabeth went above and beyond, providing detailed instructions for our late check-in and sharing wonderful recommendations for nearby restaurants. The apartment was spotless, and we especially enjoyed the balconies with their stunning views. Located in a peaceful area, the apartment was just a short walk to great dining spots and a charming local beach. Thank you, Elizabeth, for an unforgettable stay – we would love to return!

The hosts are very accommodating, I found the apartment a bit small, but it was ok for 3 days. The view is amazing :)

Giovanni's house is in the ideal location for visiting the beautiful beaches of Salento. Located in a quiet area but a short walk from the center with all amenities, a short walk from the first beach. The house is equipped with all the necessities, very clean, with convenient parking under the house. Giovanni was very attentive, from the welcome to the various explanations about the area. What can I say, we hope to be back soon

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful penthouse! The views are absolutely stunning. You can see the sea from every angle, and the sunsets were truly unforgettable. The area is peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk from the historic city center. Communication with the host was smooth and easy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!

Loved my experience here. Beautiful location. People are friendly in the building and surrounding area. Giovanni is warm and communicative. There was coffee and other necessities to cook. I hope to make it back there one day. Thank you Giovanni.
