Nice hotel with a nice pool, ideally located for nearby towns and beaches. If I was to put a finger on anything the room was a bit cold.

I had a wonderful stay with my family at the Sanlu Hotel in Italy. The staff went above and beyond to arrange transportation for us from Lecce after our train was delayed six hours due to an accident, and their kindness and helpfulness truly stood out. The breakfast each morning was splendid, with a great variety of fresh options. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet—it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. Our room was cozy, the beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were spotless. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Good and decent hotel. Would recommend as long as AC system has been repaired and with caveat that there are better located hotels (such as nearby Otranto).

A recommander !
Parfait personnel très sympa le seul côté négatif est qu’il n’y a pas de bouilloire dans la chambre … il est nécessaire de descendre a l’accueil de l’hôtel pour boire un thé ou un café.

Discreto
Hotel in posizione strategica se si decide di visitare diversi luoghi. Ottima la pulizia.
Un po' deluso dalla colazione: poco abbondante, sempre le stesse cose igni mattina. Pane mai fresco e cornetti da rivedere.
Per ilresto, nel complesso, buon soggiorno

Staff are excellent. Late breakfast until 12pm. Rooms are clean and well equipped, with a very good bathroom. Free car park under hotel.
Only things I could moan about, was the temperature of the room. The climate control would only let me select 19c as it’s lowest temperature, but I don’t think the aircon ever got it that cool, so the room was warm over night. Breakfast wise, the hot choices of bacon and egg, were seldom available, and aren’t kept hot enough.
That aside, I would still stay there again, if in the area.

Questa struttura é a dir poco eccellente. Ottima colazione, ottima pulizia, ottima cura del cliente per non parlare delle camere che sono confortevoli e accessoriate.
Avevo dimenticato le pantofole a casa e in camera avevo trovato delle pantofole monouso pronte per l'uso, senza extra

Bella struttura. Colazione super con piatti tipici leccesi! Condizioni del bagno non eccezionali (causa vasca idromassaggio non pulitissima) ma accettabili. Ottimo parcheggio coperto. Super gentilezza del gestore.

We had an awesome time at the hotel. The staff, Eleonora and Sandra were specially receptive and we felt home. Eleonora could help us with recommendations that helped a lot. And the breakfast was outstanding! I can't wait to come back. Perfect experience to enjoy the italian paradise.

Erstaunlich Gut
Das drei Sterne Hotel hat uns sehr überrascht.
Wir wollten eine günstige Unterkunft für einige Tage und waren sehr erfreut das die drei Sterne wirklich noch ein Plus verdient hätten.
Das Zimmer war groß und sehr sauber.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Doppelwanne. Das Frühstück war sehr Landestypische. Ich würde jeder Zeit wieder dort Buchen, zumal es in der Nähe (5 Gehminuten) einen wirklich günstiges Restaurant gibt das uns die ganzen Tage für wenig Geld satt bekommen hat.

Bellissima esperienza al Sanlu Hotel...A 12 minuti di auto dai Laghi Alimini e 18 minuti da Torre dell'Orso. La colazione è davvero abbondante e varia. La pulizia della stanza ottima e nelle stanze che hanno la vasca idromassaggio puoi rilassarti dopo una giornata al mare. Consigliatissimo! È il secondo anno per me al Sanlu...

Sebbene non sia comodo raggiungere il mare con i mezzi di trasporto pubblici, è solo a un quarto d'ora in macchina dagli alimini, il mare di Otranto.
Per visitare i luoghi limitrofi l'hotel mette a disposizione delle biciclette, che io ho trovato molto comode.
Per quanto riguarda la prima colazione, sia io che il mio ragazzo siamo celiaci, e ci è stata offerto il cestino apposito, ma del bouffet a disposizione potevamo scegliere anche molta frutta e la colazione salata.
Lo staff dell'albergo è stato molto gentile fin dall'inizio, appena arrivati ci ha mostrato le spiagge (sia rocciose che di sabbia) e gli eventi che si sarebbero svolti durante la nostra permanenza.
è stata davvero una bella esperienza, belle sia le città che il mare, penso proprio che ritornerò.

Ritornatoci a distanza di un anno ho notato che la struttura non si culla sugli allori delle ottime recensioni che vengono elargite a pieno merito e continua a restare la mia preferita nella zona. Ci ritornerò ancora.

Ideale per Otranto
ideale per visitare Otranto. A soli 10 minuti in auto. Colazione davvero abbondante.. dai pasticciotti leccesi e frise, alle uova e bacon! Parcheggio sotterraneo utilissimo sia per l'auto al sicuro sia per non ritrovarla cocente al mattino prma di andar via. Esperienza positivissima!! Ci ritornerei.
