Hotel Vittoria Resort Pool & Spa

Hotel Vittoria Resort Pool & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is well located in Otranto, there is a free car park. The staff were very helpful we used their Lido recommendation which was very good. The room was very spacious although a little dated. The balcony is quite narrow & shared with adjoining rooms-not suitable to sit out Breakfast was plentiful but biased towards sweet cakes & pastries. The hotel was super clean Pool area with sun beds was relaxing, accessed by many steps so not suitable for anyone with limited mobility"
