Otranto is one of those towns that stays in your heart long after you’ve left. Strolling through its narrow streets is like stepping back in time, amidst ancient whitewashed houses and the scent of the sea that accompanies you everywhere.
If you’re planning to visit Otranto, the historic center is undoubtedly the ideal place to stay. Just steps from the sea and the main monuments, you’ll find small and boutique hotels offering charm and comfort. Among these, Palazzo de Mori stands out as a special choice: an elegant and welcoming boutique hotel that makes you feel at home while maintaining a refined atmosphere with meticulous attention to detail.
