Cottage Donna Pina, Otranto center

In the heart of Otranto's historic center, between the Cathedral and the Aragonese Castle, we recommend this romantic and elegant place for a slow, special, and authentic vacation. During the 2026 renovation, only natural elements were used: the bathroom features hard, waterproof Soleto stone; the floors are made of Lecce stone, known as "chianca," a tuff stone with warm hues; the roof and window frames are made of wood; and the walls are whitewashed with natural lime, in true Salento tradition.
