Yes - this is where we escaped in July 2013 and we had a good time!…read more LOCATION This place is off Lecce (approx 10 km) and off the seaside (approx 3 km) nestled in hills with old olive trees. When we booked we were aware about it and hired - a MUST - a car right from the airport at Brindisi. There are plenty of parkings at the hotel campus. Double-Tree by Hilton is a golf resort - we don't play golf but hoped to find a deluxe and quiet location - which is the case, indeed. So many great points to tell: 1. A wide facility with direct access to golf greens. 2. Large rooms well equipped. 3. All with terraces at convenient size. 4. Pool #1: at a patio - with shade and protected from wind but, hardly service 5. Pool #2: larger and wider surrounded by meadows and the golf greens - a nice bar, friendly service for drinks, food and sun chairs, as well as umbrellas 6. Good cuisine at the Restaurant with a beautiful terrace overlooking the facility as well as landscape A few points to improve: a. Breakfast buffet and service: when you're still half a sleep you expect decent and fast service as well as no searching at the buffet until you find out that the things you look for are out. (Note: we've been there end of July not at ferragosto) b. As Hilton Honors member I got internet for free but, be aware that it isn't available all across the facility. c. Our room was upper floor (1st or 2nd as you want to see) and had a nice terrace towards East. Unfortunately within night the air-condition automatically has been switched off. At 5 in the morning on sunrise we woke up thanks to the heat at our room. d. For such facility and class I would expect services such as for towels at the pool sides. So, conclusion and key question: WOULD WE GO AGAIN? In principle YES but, the world is soooo big and there are so many other nice places... NOTE: For Italy the price is moderate but, this is Apulia and not Roma = price is somewhat high!

Lastly, I recommend to Include breakfast, lunch, and dinner it's worth it!

This was our first beach club experience in Italy and it was great! Reasonably priced 40 euros for…read moretwo chairs and an umbrella, we snagged a spot in the front and it was great to get some shade in the hot afternoon. We also felt this spot was more local than some of the other beach clubs we had looked at/seen. When it was time for lunch we went up to the restaurant and ordered some snacks to enjoy while swimming on the chairs. The ocean here is sandy and great for swimming, we had no trouble parking either as we quickly found out noonish is a turn around time for morning beach go-ers. While we had a little trouble figuring out the showers- they cost a euro coin to operate for a quick minute to rinse off, they employees helped us out even though we couldn't speak Italian. Would def come here again for a relaxing, quiet and affordable beach club experience.

Interesting setup of a CF gym within a rec center type of place that also has general fitness and…read moregym equipment as well as classes. The CF space is small but they have pretty much everything you need to get a good workout and their programming is actually pretty good. The daily fee to access the facilities is 10€ per person per day and you pay this at the front desk when you checkin.

If you are looking for an Italian language school in Italy, DO NOT sign up for Monda Scuola Italia…read more& Homestay in Villa Castelli Italy. You can find the school by a Google search and will find only rave reviews. That is because the owner, Maria Rossini, only posts good reviews. A friend and I signed up for this 2 week program which included accommodations, all meals, classes and some optional tours. What a JOKE!!! We were to stay in authentic Trullo, which supposedly was 3 blocks from the family home where we would have meals and lessons. That wasn't the case. The picture of the Trullo was beautiful, but looks can be deceiving and this was. It was about a mile or more from the house. No street address. No wifi, no fan for ventilation in the very hot month of Aug. (We were promised a fan). A TV that did not work. Refills water bottles, from who knows where. Dry toast and jam for breakfast. Threadbare towels. AND Mice poop on the sheets and pillow cases. Totally disgusting!!! We had to walk over a mile to the lessons and to get our meals. It was extremely hot, as it was Aug. We ended up taking rides from strange men to get to the home. Cooking classes??? Another joke. It consisted of helping form orechiettis (little pastas). No clear instruction and no recipes..Classes taught by the mother of Maria Rossini, the owner and operator of Monda Scuola Italia. Tours??? Yet another huge disappointment. The tours were given by Maria's father who spoke no English. He walked us through an amazing town, but seemed to not have much knowledge of the background, other than to tell us that one of the hotels was owned by the Mafia. BUYER BEWARE!!!! I would not recommend this "language school" to anyone!!! I quit after 2 days and probably lost about $800USD. Julie Olson Bend Oregon USA
