Hotel Piccolo Mondo

The view from almost every place of the hotel was simply stunning. The staff were all incredibly friendly and so helpful.

The location and the view on the sea is unique and fantastic. At breakfast, at the restaurant, around the swimming pool, in front of each room/suites your eyes will be delighted and you will be breathless. The best private access on the sea in Castro, allowing you to visit the “Azzurra” cave complete this paradise corner.

The rooms are quite old style and the humidity could be high.

Wonderful location perched on a cliff with stunning views of the local coastline. Lovely gardens and relaxed atmosphere, beautiful pool with sea water. Great rocky coves for swimming nearby and easy walk to the historic centre of Castro for local restaurants. The rooms are simple and have comfortable beds. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

What to say. The hotel is called "Piccolo Mondo (i.e. Little world)" but it should more correctly be called "Little Paradise" because it is indeed in a spectacular place. Let's start from the reception where at every hour you can find super nice people available to solve any problem all under the direction of the very kind Mrs. Alessandra. In particular Gemma was super kind to let us anticipate breakfast the last day of our stay to allow us to leave early to catch a plane from Brindisi, as was very kind the man who was there at night whose name I don't remember. The room was beautiful although not very modern in style, but with a view of the sea that was magnificent. The hotel is in the green and so you can breathe nature (including hearing the sound of cicadas), but then a few meters away is the magnificent pool and the stairway to the sea as the hotel is on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea. During my stay I was only in the pool because it's filled with seawater, which makes it nice because you float like in the sea and it's nice and deep so you can take nice dives. And then by the pool you have the bar/restaurant with the guys who work there who are very nice. Finally there is breakfast which is served on a terrace with a sea view which is breathtaking and the breakfast is very good. The parking lot is very large. All in all the hotel for me is a 10 because it is a hotel that is worth a future visit!

Absolutely nothing. I totally relaxed!

Great friendly staff. Good location. Super breakfast.

Liked it all.

The first room we were given was atrocious. The light switches on the wall were hanging off exposing live wires. There was an awful sewage smell in the room. We complained to reception and asked to move, the second room was ok but not much better.

Such a lovely place, pool is amazing and rooms are great. Would highly recommend.
