This is an exceptionally well run hotel. All the staff seemed to enjoy working at the hotel and really went out of their way to make it a special experience for us. The interior design is brilliant, blending nicely with the nature while providing a touch of luxury. The breakfast selection was excellent and the restaurant quality was very high, using some fresh ingredients from their gardens. The location is great, 10 minutes from Otranto, short drive from good beaches and bars and restaurants. Tour of the underground olive mill was also a great addition.

It was so nice in the hotel it was hard to drag ourselves away to explore the local area!

very nice and lovely place to stay. unfortunately we only booked for two nights because we were traveling to different cities and locations. the breakfast was very nice. many options to eat. I would definitely recommend and I am also planning to stay once again.

be careful with the pool, the depth is misleading. my daughter jumped from side and hit the bottom hard. it did not hurt badly but could be worse. there should be more warning signs to prevent this happening. Otherwise it was a very nice pool and nothing else to complain.

What a stunning oasis of calm and beauty. If only we could have stayed longer we would. Staff bent over backwards for us. Upgraded us because we requested a quiet room, so much attention to detail at breakfast time and Daniela allowed us to use her phone to make an emergency call. Welcome drink was very lovely! We borrowed two v decent bikes to cycle round the countryside as the sun set and the gym looked great even tho we didn’t get a chance to use it as we had to leave in a hurry. All staff were fab, bed super comfy, stunning interiors and would highly recommend this hotel. Would have done a cookery class if time too! Quick and easy drive to Otranto. Please don’t miss staying at this beautiful place!

I am vegan so more breakfast options for me please!

Lovely family run hotel. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The accommodation was lovely and relaxing and exceptionally well kept and clean. Breakfast and dinner were excellent . We did a pasta making class at the hotel, which was a lovely experience and great fun. The owner gave us a lovely tour of their kitchen garden as well. It was obvious how hands on and proud the family are of their business.

We came here expecting it to be excellent but everything was even better if that is possible. The hotel rooms are spaced out around beautiful gardens with a stunning pool in the centre. The breakfast was amazing with so much choice to suit everyone's tastes. The staff were so friendly and kind. The hotel is just a few minutes away from beautiful Otranto which we loved.

There was nothing we didn't like

I could not have more praise for this family run resort. The experience was made even more enjoyable by the professional and courteous staff, from front desk to dining and house keeping, there was nothing that was too much for these guys to make our holiday experience so enjoyable. A special mention for the restaurant, we dined here the first night and enjoyed it so much we returned for a second evening and we’re not disappointed. Located in a quiet village a few km from Otranto, a very good base to explore southern Puglia and Otranto.

Not a single thing

This is our favourite hotel we have ever stayed in. The staff and service in every section were amazing. The photos are good but it is even better in person. The room we stayed was spacious, clean, modern. Breakfast was outstanding!! Restaurant on site which was great and a few great restaurants in walking distance. Very close to Otranto by car also. Outdoor gym + bike rental + ping pong table a really nice touch! We will be back!

Fantastic pool with pool area, our room was very spacious and the bed was super comfortable. Breakfast was very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much for them.

I feel that the wall between our room and the bathroom of the room next door wasn't very sound-proof as we could hear every time they flushed the toilet and every time they took a shower.

We have had a wonderful four night stay at Mulino a Vento. Everything about the hotel is great- the location is very well suited for exploring the coast, the room was very spacious and had a lovely peaceful patio area, the pool area is fantastic and has a great range of loungers and cabanas without feeling ‘resorty’, the restaurant food was delicious (with lots of vegetarian options, which is not often the case in the area), breakfast was a treat, and the staff were very nice and helpful. We can’t wait to return for a future holiday. We’d really recommend hiring a car for exploring the area- there didn’t seem to be a lot of public transport.

There was nothing we didn’t like about the hotel :) if you enjoy somewhere a little less touristy and more relaxed we’d recommend not visiting Otranto and instead heading to places like Galatina and Santa Maria de Leuca.

Amazing stay!! The staff was very friendly, special mention to Amanda and Stefano that helped us during all our stay. The hotel is located in a ver quiet place, it was great for relaxing. Also, breakfast was 5 stars, everything so fresh!! Loved the scrambled eggs!!

I would say everything, maybe they should revise their menu price, it was very expensive compared to other places. we ended up getting dinner always outside the hotel.
