Property details

Step into a world of sun-kissed freedom near the beach in Italy’s southern Salento region - includes breakfast, optional dinner and lunch
  • Beach bliss: Located in the heel of Italy, VOI Daniela Essentia puts you within touching distance of the Adriatic’s azure waters. Indeed, when staying at this Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice hotel you can really embrace the seaside way of life, with a private beach just one kilometre (or a speedy shuttle ride) away. Look forward to peacefully soaking up the rays while listening to the soundtrack of the waves gently lapping on the shore as easy as anything. Elsewhere, there’s a pretty pool area and guestrooms that are both comfy and practical.

  • Mediterranean meals: The magic of dining at the hotel’s main restaurant lies in the delicious Mediterranean fare; traditional Salento buffets are freshly prepared each day, and once a week there’s a themed gala dinner to look forward to. Whether you want to stay hydrated by sipping cool cocktails by the pool, or in the trendy bar down at the beach, your favourite tipple’s never too far away.

  • Active pursuits: You’re certainly not going to be left kicking your heels for things to do while away, with a whole host of exciting water sports on offer to thrill and excite the whole family. On the other hand, if you get your kicks from pure relaxation, there’s a dreamy spa and wellness centre, where all the best massages and treatments are available, as well as other favourite spa amenities.

Location and what's nearby

Loc. Conca Specchiulla, 73028, Otranto, Italy

Set in the 'heel' of Italy's 'boot', Salento is a postcard-pretty region of crystalline waters, hidden coves and sandy bays. It's here, a 30-minute drive from the historic city of Lecce, that VOI Daniela Essentia is located, a stone's throw from the turquoise bay of Spiaggia di Conca Specchiulla, where a dreamy beach lures visitors to its silver-tinted sand and crystal-clear waters.

You’re also in close proximity to the Blue Flag-awarded bay of Torre dell'Orso. Flanked by sheer cliffs and a pine grove, the 900-metre bay is famed for Le Due Sorelle (The Two Sisters) – a pair of rocky promontories which jut high above the water and the only interruption to the blue-on-blue vistas. Be sure to venture out to Lecce during your stay: this creamy sprawl of baroque buildings is the jewel in Puglia's crown, with its pretty piazza, ornate cathedral and statue-adorned basilica.
