Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Torre dell'Orso

Perfect little house with rooftop in the city center a few minutes walk to all the attractions - we really loved it

Martas apartment was really lovely and she was a great host! The place had everything you needed and was directly opposite the natural swimming pool. We would 100% recommend staying here!

We had probably our best Airbnb experience. We were greeted on arrival by Paolo who was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our vacation. We could reach him at any time and he also had countless good tips for us. Among other things, he recommended the best ice cream (still dreaming of cioccolata fondente). There were some super tasty local specialties waiting for us when we arrived. The house is very clean and furnished with great attention to detail. You can tell that the owner is an architect. In general, the house really had everything you need. From olive oil and spices to a washing machine and bathrobes. We wanted to spend the whole day on the terrace by the sea which definitely was our highlight. Our stay felt like a dream and we definitely want to come back as soon as possible. Thank you for everything.

Beautiful stay. Very quiet area, easy to reach from multiple roads. Very nice apartment, renovated, well maintained and finished in detail, very clean, comfortable and welcoming. Very comfortable bed. Very nice bathroom, elegant and with all comforts. Free outdoor parking, always available. Melendugno is in a great location for visiting Lecce and Otranto, both beautiful cities. Wonderful beaches nearby (Torre dell'Orso beach, Torre Specchia beach, Baia dei Turchi, Alimini beach, Sant'Andrea).

Dajana's place is a real gem. Clean, spacious, well equipped and beautifully decorated. She was very welcoming and friendly and allowed us to use the terrace which I must say was one of the highlights of our holiday!! The beaches are a short walk away as well as restaurants and bars. We recommend Captain Morgan for a delicious and fresh seafood dinner without frills and the pistacchio pesto ice-cream at Sacanfo gelateria. There's also a a supermarket nearby and several deli to get local bakery products. We highly recommend Dajana's place and hope to be back again 💕

We had a great 5 days exploring the area by car. Ersilia was very responsive and gave good recommendations. The accommodation had everything we needed, with a beautiful pool and garden area. Thank you!

I love places with a sea view from above. I loved this place. Especially the room on the ground floor... From where I could admire the magical sunrise every morning! Antonella was very welcoming and always responsive! The only flaw is not being able to access the sea directly from there. It would be fabulous if they could find a way to do it. The place is suitable for those who love tranquility, the wind and the sound of the sea! ❤️

Had a great stay at Marco’s place in Lecce. It’s in one of the nicest spots in town with two great bars in the square by the Greek church, but also very near everything. Marco communicated well and the instructions to get in the apartment were clear. Yes there is music in the square at night but this didn’t bother us too much even though it went on quite late. Would stay here again if I went to Lecce.

Accommodation even better than in the photos with sea views. Spacious and well equipped. Restaurants, small supermarket 400 m away and beautiful beach next door! 20 min from Turchi Beach, heavenly! And Lecce 30 minutes away… very well located! We would have liked more days to discover more… I recommend it!

We stayed 3 days in the home, which with its 2 roof terraces is superbly located with fantastic sunset views. The relatively few square meters are well utilized and tastefully decorated, and it was easy to find parking within a short walking distance to the apartment with a recommendation from Ivan. Only on Sundays/holidays, please note that parking is not allowed due to the market. The small town has plenty of bars and several good restaurants. There are maps to a nice sandy beach and several down the coast, and along the boardwalk there is a nice walking/running/bike path several kilometers in both directions along the bay, if you also want to exercise. Good location for excursions to the slightly larger nearby towns and attractions. Clearly a place we'd like to come back to. Both for the quality of the home and the area's amenities.

A fabulous apartment. The roof terrace e was huge, nestled in the rooftops with views of the sea. We could have spent our entire trip there. There was an additional terrace so plenty of space. Marco went out of his way to offer advice, book a restaurant for our first night and offer sunbeds at a local Lido (GBeach). I could not recommend more highly. Hope to return in the future 😊👍

Loved this apartment in Lecce! It was a great place to relax during the afternoon heat. It was very close to restaurants and within the old town. If ever back, we'd definitely hope to stay here again.

An absolutely beautiful apartment, part of an old palace, right in the heart of Lecce. So full of character and charm. We couldn't have asked for a better location for exploring the town and the surrounding area. Clean and comfortable with air-conditioning which was great for the night time. Francesco even left us some local cakes for our arrival and was there to meet us to help us with our bags up the stairs. The roof terrace is absolutely stunning with views of the church and street below. I couldn't recommend enough. Thank you for having us ❤️

Beautiful stay in the historic heart of Lecce! We loved our cozy little nest that is the Pumo Verde! The host was super responsive and available for any questions. The only downside is the humidity but this is a common factor in Lecce. I highly recommend this little gem!!

Loved our stay here! Just at the end of the bay - perfect position. Just a couple of minutes to reach restaurants and shops. Bright, airy and modern apartment. Fantastic lounge with great balcony. Really comfy beds and pillows. Would definitely stay again if we are back in Otranto.

Patrizia’s apartment was somehow even more beautiful than the photos—thoughtfully designed, bright, and incredibly comfortable. We stayed here with our 21-month-old daughter, my mother, and cousin while in Lecce for a family wedding, and it was the perfect home base for all of us. The apartment had everything we needed for a smooth and easy stay. Street parking was mostly easy to find, and the location was ideal—within walking distance of Lecce’s historic center, great restaurants, a playground, and a grocery store. Traveling with a toddler can be challenging, but Patrizia made it so much easier. She had a great pack-and-play set up with linens, some toys for our daughter to enjoy, and even welcomed her with a little stuffed animal—now a new favorite. The private patio was another highlight—a lovely spot for breakfast and relaxing. We’d absolutely stay here again.

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.

This apartment is excellent. The location and views are amazing. We enjoyed the proximity to beach, local cafe and constantly changing vista. Out hosts were very supportive and friendly, but allowed us the space for a quiet holiday. We appreciated quick responses when we asked for recommendations. This was a relaxing, spacious and restful place to be. Thank you Marcello and Claudio.

Had a wonderful time staying at this spacious and peaceful apartment in the heart of Otranto, really felt like home. The location is impeccable, just steps away from the historic center and a short stroll to the sea. The apartment itself is incredibly bright, quiet, and thoughtfully laid out, offering everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Inside, all was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The host was exceptionally responsive, providing clear check‑in instructions and helpful local tips. Ideal location near both the sea and historic town center with a peaceful ambiance with an abundance of natural light. Overall, this apartment provided everything we hoped for: comfort, convenience, and charm. We highly recommend it for anyone looking to experience Otranto with ease, and would gladly stay again!

great place. apartment with soul where you may find the history of the lecce, but modern equipted and very comfortable.

very beautiful masseria, in a peaceful environment in the middle of cicadas. The accommodation is pleasant and functional with a small private terrace well oriented for breakfast. the common areas are also very pleasant, especially the swimming pool and ping pong table :) Francesco and Sylvia are very friendly. Thank you to them for being very accommodating.

We had a lovely stay in Nardò. The apartment is in a back street, just off the main square in the old town. You are spoilt in your choices of places to eat, drink and snack, all within a very short walk. You are also within walking distance of the train station if you didn’t fancy driving. We took the train to Lecce for a day trip. We loved just sitting on Piazza Antonio Salandra with a spritz and a negroni watching the locals going about their business long in to the evening. Thank you Mika

I had a wonderful month in Lecce, a great deal attributes to the fact that I was staying at Fausto’s apartment. I think we’ve got the best view in the city. I really like this apartment a lot. It has every good quality that’s been mentioned in the previous reviews, and more. I also wanted to thank Fausto for his prompt responses and assistance. I had some knee issues and required assistance to get me to the train station and to the right platform the day I left and Fausto did not hesitate to help. For that he has my gratitude and thanks. I hope to return to Lecce and this beautiful apartment again in the future.

Wonderful, spacious and very clean apartment. Amazing views from living area and balcony. Although on a busy road the apartment is very quiet and very secure. The check in instructions were clear. A few minutes to the old city where there are many restaurants. Also close to mini market. We really enjoyed our stay here.
