Relais San Martino Salento Handwritten Collection

We had an amazing stay in this hotel (so far the best one for the whole our trip). All the staff are so nice and helpful: starting welcome and till the final check out when they gave us water and cookies for our travel back. Property itself has a unique landscape that perfectly represents style and local identity at the same time. Our deluxe apartment was spacious, modern, comfy and well equipped. I can truly call it home out my home. The restaurant is nice as well and it has gourmet and tasty cuisine. We had one comment (not complaint) and I shared it with one of the managers. We really enjoyed that evening in the lush garden! I can’t wait till we come again to this amazing hotel! Best regards to every member of the hotel team ❤️ I’m really happy this hotel became part of Accor family and it helped me to got acquainted with them

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. Super relaxed vibe, pretty grounds and pool but above all AMAZING staff. Could not do enough to help you. We particularly wanted to mention the lovely Rosella who helped us to no end organising transfers and restaurant bookings - an absolute star. But all the staff were amazing, from the restaurant staff to all the reception staff and the housekeeping staff. The local village is adorable (but small), although there are some amazing restaurants - try out Filorosso, Grani del Borgo and Palazzo Marchesale. I would say a car is essential if you are staying here, unless you are happy staying around Taviano.

We stayed for 3 nights which was a perfect length! You definitely need a car as town itself is very quite - there's is on street parking and we never had an issue finding a space! The garden/pool area are lovely and quite, very clean and well maintained! The staff are all super friendly and helpful! Frederica the receptionist is so helpful and lovely! Two reasons it isn't a 5 star rating: - our room wasn't very sound proof and we paid extra for a terrace/garden view. This terrace is shared and actually the garden view is a disadvantage as it overlooks the restaurant. The restaurant is a bit loud until 1am on Saturday and there is no soundproofing.... - the breakfast is fine. Its a small breakfast that's just a continental breakfast - the food quality was ok but nothing special. We also had dinner in the restaurant (which is a separate business) which was also quite disappointing. The wine was nice and service was great but overall the food at the hotel was only ok, we had better meals outside the hotel.
