Waterfront vacation rentals in Torre dell'Orso

Perfect stay right near the beach that felt like home! This property has super comfortable beds, nice linens and many little things that made for a very relaxing stay. We thought we’d visit a number of the villages in the area, but found ourselves just wanting to relax at the house and on the local beaches instead. If we come back to the area, we are 100% staying here again. Also, although there are good restaurants in town, cooking was easy bc there’s a BBQ on the patio, lots of spices and pots/pans to cook with and plenty of plates/cups/glasses/etc. It’s a well stocked kitchen - much more so than many other places I’ve stayed. If you’re thinking about this place, stop looking at other options and book it. You won’t regret your decision. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!!

Lovely centrally located apartment. Enjoyed the balcony, where it is possible to enjoy the day's walk in the historic part of Otranto. The apartment is bright, large, modern and well equipped. Good AC system in every room. Keep in mind that the apartment is not available for the location in the historic part.

We spent fantastic days in Maria and Tommaso's apartment from mid to late May 2025! We give our full 5 stars PLUS ‼️ for this beautiful apartment with a gigantic view as well as the exceptional hospitality of Maria and Tommaso ….it doesn't get any better ‼️ We have never communicated with landlords so smoothly and harmoniously. Everything was perfect 🤗 We'd love to come back, grande abbraccio

This place is stunning! We sat on the terrace and enjoyed the view all day. We did a grocery shop prior to arriving, cooked/bbq’d without issue (plenty of cooking utensils/dishes), and ate al fresco when the weather permitted. We did laundry and everything air-dried quickly in the sun and breeze. Did a beautiful coastal drive. Loved everything about this place. Assunta gave great recommendations, met us to review everything, and was very responsive to the few questions we had. The bed was super comfy too. Oh and did I mention THE VIEW? Tons of storage to keep the bedroom uncluttered. Assunta provided snacks (loved the cookies), rusks, taralli, and a bottle of wine too! We would love to return year after year! It’s a WOW!

The accommodation is tastefully and modernly furnished. We enjoyed the sunset from our own terrace every evening, just fantastic views! Within walking distance are the two charming places with beach promenade! Parking was easily possible right in front of the house in October. Lorenzo and the co-hosts were always helpful and very friendly - highly recommended!

Beautiful three bedroom 3 1/2 bathroom huge well equipped apartment. Private garage parking The beach is across the street where the Sunset views are available.

Chiara truly earns her title of superhost! She personally greeted and farewelled us and made us feel so welcome in her stunning home, a casa di Adele. The location is perfect and walking around Castro was so enjoyable and easy. The view from the outdoor area was such a pleasant way to relax and soak up the sun and fresh air each day. Chiara is extremely generous and adds so many extras to make her guests comfortable. We really appreciated things such as the drinks, snacks, and breakfast for our first night and morning. We also noticed special touches like plenty of towels, spare power adaptors and citronella candles. Be sure to visit grotto Zinzulusa, eat delicious seafood and swim at the Castro marina. We thoroughly loved our stay in Castro and were very sad we couldn’t stay longer. Best Airbnb this trip, by far!

Beautiful terrace with sea views and outdoor shower. Tastefully made apartment with quality materials. 5-star welcome with a smile and a bottle of regional wine (and a bottle of cold water). Quick and easy communication with the host. The sandy beach is a 5-minute walk away. High quality accommodation, highly recommend.

Very well equipped apartment with large terrace and spectacular sea views. We will be happy to come back!

We had six wonderful nights at Elisabetta s house in Torre San Gennaro and it was everything we could have wished for. The description says it’s right on the sea and you couldn’t be closer without getting your feet wet in bed . It’s six or eight steps down to a rocky entrance to the Adriatic Sea . It’s very easy to enter and exit the sea , more so if you have water shoes but it can be done in bare feet as the rocks aren’t sharp . The house has everything you would need and everything works as it should . Elisabetta will help you with any small issues you may have ( we had none ) The area is small and flat with a few bars / cafes and restaurants . It is fairly quiet at the moment but the season is starting and people are starting to flood in . The bar over the sea is great for casual drinks and pizzas at excellent prices . The restaurant next door to Elisabetta house is called Zoki and is one of the best we have been privileged to have been to . Absolutely wonderful food .

There were two of us in the accommodation for six nights and we were more than satisfied. May is still before the season, so we were alone in the whole street. The terrace is a dream, but visible to the neighbors. Because we were alone, this was not difficult. We highly recommend the apartment, Fernando was a great host and was always easy to reach and friendly!

The house is very comfortable, beautiful and spacious. It's tastefully decorated and makes us feel right at home. Camilla gave us all the necessary indications and recommendations and was always very responsive when we needed him. It's possible to park 2 cars without any issues. The geographical location is ideal because it allows you to visit all the south of Puglia. Anyway, I would recommend it without hesitation!

House in a very good location in a very quiet environment. Pietro is very available and has a real sense of hospitality. Ideally located to explore the area and with a small beach nearby (2 min walk) to swim safely and snorkel (which is a real plus, because in Italy the beaches are either private: overcrowded, or difficult to find for access to the water due to the geological specificities of the coast). We were a couple and really enjoyed this house.

Very nice rental with a great shaded terrace, a little isolated from the center. Easy access to walk along the sea

This house and the garden are so perfect, charming, relaxing, comfortable, all the details are impressive, you will have everything you need. Giuseppe is very kind and welcoming. Thank you very much for all the gifts. I love my stay. The location is perfect to discover the Salento and Puglia in general. I will come back

We just finished an amazing stay at Giuliana’s home. The view of the Adriatic was simply spectacular. When we arrived, she greeted us with traditional Puglian bakery treats and a bottle of Prosecco. Delicious! The fridge was stocked with fresh fruit and juices. There were a couple of nice restaurants close by which can be reached by walking along a paved path overlooking the Sea. We fully recommend this beautiful place.

This is a fantastic place and we’d highly recommend it! Beautiful, spacious, spotless, well-decorated apartment in a great location with roof terraces (plural!) with amazing views. Ludovica was the perfect host- very responsive and helpful and the apartment guide was a very thoughtful and useful addition. Gallipoli is also a great place to stay when exploring Puglia, with lovely local beaches, good restaurants, activities and other towns in easy distance. Thank you Ludovica!

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.

Wonderful apartment with three bedrooms, all with own bathroom. Everything present what you need and the terrace view is amazing. As clearly stated, the stairs are challenging, would not do it with small children or any disability. But the stairs are like an ancient building- beautiful! We had an amazing time, thank you!

Our experience at Elizabeth's apartment was fantastic from start to finish. Communication with her was seamless; she was always quick to assist and answer any questions we had. Elizabeth went above and beyond, providing detailed instructions for our late check-in and sharing wonderful recommendations for nearby restaurants. The apartment was spotless, and we especially enjoyed the balconies with their stunning views. Located in a peaceful area, the apartment was just a short walk to great dining spots and a charming local beach. Thank you, Elizabeth, for an unforgettable stay – we would love to return!

I would not hesitate to recommend this air bnb or to stay there again. So nice to personally meet the hosts who were extremely welcoming & friendly. The seaview terrace was great for taking in the view, enjoying the night lights, as well as soaking up the sun while enjoying a glass of wine. Easy walking distance to the beach & numerous restaurants.

We had a wonderful stay in Gallipoli. The apartment has everything you need for daily life and is very quiet. The roof terrace overlooking the sea is simply fantastic and you can quickly get to the old town on foot. Clear recommendation!

Lovely apartment. Well equipped, cosy layout and perfectly located. My fifth time in Fraula/Porto Badisco and will return next year. I’ll be sure to book this place. Antonio was a Fanastic host and always on call if needed. Thank you.

Loved my experience here. Beautiful location. People are friendly in the building and surrounding area. Giovanni is warm and communicative. There was coffee and other necessities to cook. I hope to make it back there one day. Thank you Giovanni.
