Giardino D'Oriente Rooms & Suites, Agriresort Murciano, La Lanterna delle Fate and Rocamatura b&b stand out for their very high review scores, while B&B Notos, Monte Sant' Angelo, la casa nell'acqua and Palazzo De Mori offer alternatives at different levels of comfort and style. Together, they cover a useful spread for travellers who want a coastal base in Otranto, whether the priority is value, a quieter setting or a more refined stay.
