poteva andare meglio

Mi ero riservata questi due ultimi giorni di vacanza scegliendo una stanza sufficientemente comoda ( 20 mq fronte mare) ma non è andata cosi perché la stanza assegnataci no lo spazio vitale per muoversi tantomeno quello per i bagagli ( due trolley ed una borsa) e odorava di chiuso come ho subito fatto presente a Silvia che comunque ho trovato gentile e disponibile. L'indomani mattina abbiamo cambiato stanza ( la struttura si è vuotata) e ne abbiamo occupata ina con le caratteristiche di quella prenotata. Questo mi ha disturbato.

Friendly little b&b

Il Corso is in a great location high above one of the few main streets in Porto Cesareo and a quiet haven from the bustling town below. It is near all the restaurants, shops and the night market on the waterfront, it is right in the heart of the town. It is very clean, well maintained and great value for money. Breakfast is simple but more than one could expect and both Silvia and Barbara make you feel very welcome. We would return again without a second thought.

Empfehlenswertes B&B mitten in der Fussgängerzone

Unterkunft ist per Auto nicht direkt erreichbar. Es muss in den Seitenstrassen parkiert werden. Dafür entschädigt die gute Lage mitten in der Fussgängerzone. Die Lidos sind mit Auto ebenfalls bequem zu erreichen. Die Unterkunft ist aber sehr toll und sehr gut geführt. Man fühlt sich dort herzlich willkommen. Das Frühstück ist vollkommen ausreichend. Die Betten sind bequem und die Klimaanlage leise. Je nach Zimmertyp kann das Zimmer aber sehr klein sein was jedoch durch ein kleines Gärtchen entschädigt wird. Jeden Tag wird sehr sauber geputzt und auf Wunsch die Wäsche gewechselt. Es fehlt an Nichts und man fühlt sich einfach wohl. Wir würden es ganz bestimmt gerne wieder wählen.

The favorite spot of our holiday

We made a little circle around Puglia in early September and this hotel was definitely the most favorite spot of our holiday. The B&B is beautiful and well kept with lots of attention to detail, the staff is extremely nice and helpful and the location is perfect. The best part was the breakfast with plenty of delicious home made cakes, a wide selection of fresh fruits, some ham and cheese and excellent coffee. The only problem we encountered is that it is really difficult to park in Porto Cesareo. The B&B is on a pedestrian street and if you come late in the evening, as we did, the parking can get really tough. I consider this a minor thing though and would book Il Corso without hesitation again.

Neu mit Stil

Toll! Familiär, nur 5 Zimmer. Alles ganz neu und modern eingerichtet. Man kann vor der Haustür das Gepäck entladen und ein paar Meter entfernt kostenfrei parken, man bekommt eine Anwohnererlaubnis ausgehändigt. Wir hatten das günstigste Zimmer und das war schon toll, allerdings empfehle ich durchaus ein wenig mehr zu bezahlen und Balkon zu wählen. Man hat einen schönen Blick auf die Hauptstraße. Aber laut ist es dort nicht: es ist Fußgängerzone und relativ ruhig in Porto Cesareo. Aber anders als andere Touristenorte gibt es hier auch in der Nebensaison Leben und offene Geschäfte und Restaurants. Es ist ein toller Ort. Zum Baden sind wir allerdings immer ein paar Kilometer Richtung Norden gefahren (Torre Lapillo). Wer mag hat aber den Stadtstrand schon in wenigen Metern erreicht. Vorgelagerte Inselchen können erschwommen werden oder man nimmt ein Taxiboot. Abends gibt es eine schöne Promenade am Hafen entlang. Wer mag kann aber auch einfach auf der Dachterasse des Hotels sitzen. Naschereien stehen für die Gäste bereit, Getränke bekommt man aus der Minibar. Das Frühstück ist hauptsächlich süß mit Kuchen und Hörnchen. Aber auch etwas Käse und Schinken/Salami gibt es, sowie frisches Obst. Wir haben es jeden Tag genossen. Einzige Beanstandung: es leuchtet bunt: Die Inhaber mögen wechselnde Lichtspiele auch in den Zimmern. Aber man gewöhnt sich daran oder verhängt es mit einem Händehandtuch. Naja - irgendetwas negatives muss es doch auch geben, nicht? Wäre ja sonst langweilig.

A hidden gem perfect for any vacationer!

I booked this hotel just going off the photos and I expected the regular B&B. Upon arriving, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The B&B was very beautiful, quiet, clean, and comfortable. I was upgraded for free thanks to the sweet owners, Sylvia and Giovanni, and the room was great! The decorations are cute and simple and added to the chic atmosphere. The breakfast spread was the best I've seen in a long time, and I'm a professional tour guide in France! The food was delicious and very fresh. Upon leaving, Sylvia and Giovanni both came to say goodbye and gave me a cute, personalized magnet. I hope I can stay there again sometime soon. Oh, and the most beautiful beaches in Puglia are within walking distance...
