We had a beautiful stay of 6 nights at this charming farm with direct access to the lovely beach. The owner welcomed us very friendly and gave us very good information about restaurants in the neighborhood and sites to see. The room is located in a nice garden and in the morning we had a good breakfast in the garden. We went for a swim every morning. So lovely! The town of Otranto is a jewel.

Nicely situated only a five-minute walk from a lovely beach, which means that you don't have to use the car (heaven) and that you can get to the beach and pitch your spot before everyone arrives. Tasteful rooms and a great breakfast using top quality products all served by two charming ladies Tina and Antonella. The owner Marina is very kind and helpful and as a local knows the area perfectly and has tons of good addresses. Finally easy access to Lecce, Otranto etc. Highly recommended.

Fontanelle is managed excellently. The reception is super friendly and you get all the interesting information. All the staff are open-minded and friendly. The facility is very well maintained and there is nothing missing (except a pool). 10 minutes walk to the public beach (free). Right next door you can also rent umbrellas and sunbeds (€ 20, - for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella per day). We will gladly come back!

Grazie mille, Andrea! Siamo davvero felici che abbiate passato dei bei giorni di vacanza qui da noi! Come ‘gestore’ vorrei potermi lamentare del mio voto 8/10, perché aspiro sempre all’eccellenza e vorrei dare sempre il meglio a ogni ospite… ma mi accontenterò (si scherza!) con la consapevolezza che la frenesia di agosto non mi ha dato il tempo di conoscervi meglio:) sono comunque contenta che le mie preparazioni mattutine vi siano piaciute. Alla prossima! Marina.

Delighted to have stayed at the Fontanelle property. We appreciated the simplicity of tradition in colors, scents, flavors, and music. The owner pays attention to details and personally cooks Salento products served for breakfast. All this creates a pleasant atmosphere, far from the noise of mass tourism. Crossing the enchanting pine forest, you can reach less crowded beaches overlooking the beautiful sea of Salento. The staff welcomes you with grace and kindness.

Marina and her staff are exceptional, it feels like being at home, welcoming, well-kept, family-like, it conveys serenity. Every morning fresh cakes for breakfast, made by Marina, a wonderful person who fulfilled every request. Many are the strong points of this B&B where I recommend going for those who want to relax in a simple and well-kept environment, which conveys all the warmth of those who manage it.

Wonderful stay! Structure just a few steps from the Baia dei Turchi which is reached by a relaxing walk in the pine forest. Abundant and delicious breakfast, a special thanks to Tina and Antonella for their kindness and availability. We were also thrilled by the theatrical visit of Otranto thanks to the Otranto card! A unique experience that I highly recommend! I hope to come back soon! Arianna and Jacopo.

Lovely farmhouse, very close to the city of Otranto, extremely clean rooms tastefully decorated, delicious breakfast with homemade pastries and products, and then the walk down to the sea at Baia dei Turchi in 5 minutes on foot is priceless.

Strategic location, very quiet place despite the proximity to the road, super breakfast with sweets made by the lady of the place and served by the very kind ladies Tina and Antonella! You can reach Baia dei Turchi in no time from the property without taking the car, which is no small thing! I recommend the naturalistic landscape tour that the property suggests upon arrival; very fascinating with a very prepared and nice guide. We hope to return!

My husband and I stayed at this property for a week. It is located in the countryside of Otranto and a short walk from Baia dei Turchi. The free beach of Baia dei Turchi is easily reachable on foot, crossing a pine forest. It's about 800 meters from the rooms. In the morning, a plentiful breakfast is served, filled with sweet and savory delicacies prepared by the owner and served by two very helpful and kind ladies. The same ladies take care of the room cleaning, always perfect, even the two guys who practically take care of everything are always very helpful and kind. In short, a quiet and well-kept place in a fabulous seaside environment. Highly recommended to everyone. And I repeat, something not to be underestimated at all is the kindness and availability that reigns! Thank you very much to all the staff for the beautiful and very peaceful week spent with you! We will definitely come back.

We had a good time and appreciated the opportunity to use the bicycles provided by the property for free. Very caring staff attentive to requests. Beautiful walk in the pine forest before reaching the beach, which, however, is rather small and crowded. We also enjoyed the free guided tour of Otranto available with the Otranto card.

All good, the only point to review is the breakfast time which I would personally move to 7:30 and the reception hours are too restrictive.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Roberto, grazie della sua opinione positiva! Accettiamo le sue osservazioni riguardo agli orari, anche se riteniamo che in un agriturismo l'orario 8-10: 30 sia adeguato, nonché quello finora maggiormente richiesto dai nostri ospiti. La reception è aperta dalle 9 alle 12 e dalle 15:30 alle 19. Negli orari restanti, continuiamo comunque a lavorare per organizzare al meglio le vostre vacanze;) Alla prossima!

The room is quite small but the terrace is spacious and overlooks the garden. It's pleasant to have breakfast outdoors and the two ladies served us very kindly. The homemade products are of excellent quality. The Baia dei Turchi beach is beautiful and is a 10-minute walk from the property. The manager provided us with all the information we were looking for.

Magnificent stay! The property is new, extremely clean and detailed. The staff is very kind and helpful and the owner is truly exquisite and attentive to every need. The breakfast is varied and delicious, rich in always fresh local products. We also enjoyed the products of the farm at lunchtime, such as fresh vegetables, bread and focaccia to accompany mozzarella and burrata, and we were ecstatic. The place is close to the bay of the Turks, where you can enjoy the free beach or equipped facilities and where the water is crystal clear with a sandy bottom. Ten minutes by car you will find Otranto and many places that offer zero km local cuisine for your evenings. A splendid holiday, worth trying!

I was looking for a place in Otranto in the Alimini area that was close to the sea, so I wouldn't have to take the car. In March, while browsing the internet, I came across the website of the B&B Le Fontanelle and since there were no photos of the rooms, I decided to call. I spoke with Marina, the owner, who informed me that they were finishing the work and that she would send me the photos before publishing them online. This is how it went, I fell in love with what I saw and impressed by Marina's kindness, I decided to book. The arrival was a pleasant surprise, for me it was the first time in a B&B, beautiful structure very well maintained and characterized by surprising details, in full respect of Salento traditions. Marina proved to be an excellent hostess and her collaborators showed unique kindness, always ready to meet every need. One flaw: having booked only for a week. Thank you and see you again for sure.
