Enjoy luxury hotels and holidays at lower prices
Even the best hotels have empty beds. Because we keep it hush-hush, they slip us phenomenal deals. Too good to be true? Nah. Just too good to be public.

Hotel Piccolo Mondo, Italy
Flights available
Property details
- Clifftop calm: Perched on a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea, this beautiful base offers sea views in spades and a truly welcoming and authentic atmosphere, thanks to the love of the family who have owned it for 50 years. Three generations of Ascalones have looked after Hotel Piccolo Mondo, and are ready to open their small world to you.
- Sublime sea views: You’ll have plenty of opportunity to relax and absorb the southern Italian sun at the hotel’s sea-view pool, and if your legs are feeling up to it, there’s a private 193-step staircase to take you directly down the cliffside to the water. The hotel also offers yoga classes, tennis courts and open-air movie screenings for relaxing evenings.
- Tradition upheld: Sticking to local produce and traditional dishes, the panoramic restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy fresh breakfasts and seafood dinners, and there’s also a pool bar and restaurant if you can’t stray from your lounger. When it comes time for bed, retreat to your whitewashed room, decorated in true Mediterranean style, with optional sea views.

Location and what's nearby
Via Litoranea per Santa Cesarea, 238, 73030 Castro LE, Italy
Slightly further afield you’ll find Lecce, known as the ‘Florence of the South’, where towering basilicas and ancient castellos inject a real sense of Italy’s past. If you’re interested in historic Italian architecture, take the two-hour drive north to visit the town of Alberobello, where the traditional Trullo houses will be sure to amaze you.
