fantastic place

L'Ulivo et la Stella has a beautiful and very clean swimming pool. The rooms are extremely quiet. No noise whatsoever.

The entire place has a bit of camping feel to it. The breakfast (staff) is very nice, but breakfast is uninspiring and poor. Lots of cakes. Only two tables outdoors. Most people sit indoor. Why. There does not seem to be staff present at the facility all day long. We only saw a few people at breakfast, but for the rest the place was deserted, even if the rooms were occupied. It is set in the middle of farms, the grounds are well kept, but there literally is nothing in the vicinity. You have to drive to Porto Cesareo if you want to see something, eat or drink or buy something. The place also caters for outside guests who can come and sit at the swimming pool. During our stay there were none - nor any guests of the hotel either - but judging by the amount of chairs and the size of the parking, it can get quite busy around the pool. They even appear to have a bar by the pool, but it was not open when we were there (mid June)

The pool was beautiful as well as the staff was super friendly and helpful 😀

Nothing

I really cannot fault L'Ulivo e la Stella. Mirko and the team were SO accommodating and helpful, and they've built a beautiful hotel and space. The swimming pool is exceptional. I would highly recommend and will be returning!

L'Ulivo e la Stella is a delightful B&B and my wife and I had a very enjoyable, relaxing few days there.  The rooms were a 10/10 for us, spacious, immaculately clean, good lighting and generally speaking really considerately thought out. The en-suite had the best shower I've used - 3 different shower heads and enough room to swing a cat (important when you're 6'5"). Each room has it's own terrace space overlooking the peaceful and beautifully kept gardens, ideal for some evening drinks.  The breakfast offered pretty much everything you could want, and the ladies serving it were very warm and accommodating. We had an early flight home and they prepared the best packed-breakfast I've had.  The pool area was stunning and the infinity pool a real highlight. The grounds are very well looked after, the owners clearly put a lot of time, care and effort into their upkeep which didn’t go unnoticed and was much appreciated. The whole place carries a sense of luxury at an affordable price. The B&B is located about 10 minutes from Porto Cesareo and within 10 to 20 minutes of several attractive beaches with crystal clear water. A car is essential but worth the expense. The owners were helpful, and Mirko was kind enough to invite me to join him on a trip the gym. A top man indeed! Would thoroughly recommend. 

Amazing place, rooms perfectly clean, great pool, great staff, everything is new. Very good breakfast, they serve everyday fresh fruit (watermelon, melon, peaches, apples...), homemade cakes, cheese and ham, eggs and bacon. The property is located close to the cities of Lecce, Gallipoli and Otranto, as well as to fabulous beaches. Absolutely recommended!
