Masseria Bandino & Spa

In the rolling Hydruntina countryside just outside Otranto, a restored 18th-century masseria sits near Torre Pinta and Otranto Castle. About 2 km from Otranto city centre and roughly 11 km from Alimini Beach. A family-friendly, pet-friendly rural hotel with secluded pine‑forest surroundings.

An ancient sheep farm dating to 1700, Masseria Bandino blends rustic Salento architecture with renovated farmhouse style and quiet, nature-first vibes. The property occupies its own 5-hectare pine forest amid olive trees, citrus groves and wild aromatic vegetation—spring walks can reveal wild orchids. There are 20 individually decorated rooms with minibars, flat-screen TVs, safes and private bathrooms with bidets; the hotel is closed in January, February, March, November and December.

A full spa offers massages and body treatments, plus a seasonal outdoor pool and poolside bar for lazy, sun-soaked afternoons. Rent bicycles to explore the pine woods, relax in the picnic areas, join on-site diving excursions or book excursions via the tour desk; an area shuttle is available for a surcharge. Complimentary wireless internet and modern pool facilities round out the stay—wake up to pine-scented mornings.

Conference hall available for meetings, express check-in and check-out, complimentary newspapers and free self-parking. Complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi and a 24-hour train station pick-up service help keep business and travel smooth.

On-site restaurant showcases local Salento cuisine alongside a coffee shop/café, bar/lounge and poolside bar. Room service is offered during limited hours, so you can enjoy regional flavors and simple breakfasts without leaving the grounds.
