Bianco Riccio Suite Hotel in Savelletri

Clean, large room, courteous and friendly staff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay – Truly Outstanding in Every Way We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Bianco Riccio Hotel, and I genuinely cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this is a hotel that takes real pride in every detail. The entire property is spotlessly clean, with a beautifully modern design that creates a calm and luxurious atmosphere throughout. The facilities are excellent — the gym is well-equipped, and the spa area is a real highlight, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Everything feels thoughtfully designed and maintained to a very high standard. Breakfast each morning was superb, with a great selection of fresh, high-quality options to start the day. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the exceptional staff. Every single team member was warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and everything was done with a smile. A special mention must go to Alessandro, the Hotel Director, who greeted us every day and consistently checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. That level of personal care makes a huge difference and really elevates the whole experience. The hotel is also in a great location, making it an ideal base to explore the surrounding area. Overall, this was a flawless stay — modern, clean, relaxing, and filled with genuinely kind people. We will absolutely be returning and would highly recommend Bianco Riccio Hotel to anyone looking for a top-class experience.

Wonderful stay at the Bianco Riccio. It was the perfect base from where to explore Puglia. The staff was very helpful, making restaurant reservations, suggesting local experiences, etc.

Excellent location, beautiful hotel maintained to the highest standard with very professional and helpful staff

Very nice hotel - with all facilities and very nice staff. I received a very nice attention when the hotel staff knew I was deliberating a big birthday. Ideally located, with swimming and gym.

Wow! We were seriously impressed by Bianco Riccio hotel. Possibly the happiest hotel we have ever stayed at. The staff were exceptional, every single one. The manager was always around & attended breakfast every morning to chat to clients. Reception staff were so friendly & helpful. They booked us restaurants, they booked us trains, taxis & got us a hire car. Nothing was too much trouble. A lovely breakfast was served in the top floor resteraunt. Again the serving staff got to know clients preferences & anticipated their needs. The domestic staff were equally friendly & professional & everywhere was very clean. The hotel has a nice pool with a lunchtime cafe & bar. It is near to many beach clubs . The village itself is small & mainly characterized by a succession of very classy fish restaurants, all of which we found very good. People come from outside the area to dine at these resteraunts. A short drive away we visited the large archeological site of ancient Egnazia which was very interesting. We also visited the beautiful hill town of Ostuni & the city of Lecce, known as the Florence of the South. Altogether we had a great introduction to the Puglia area of Italy.

Stayed there to attend a wedding in the area. The hotel was really. We got beach see view with a large balcony. The breakfast on the floor floor with views of both mountains and the sea. The pool was nice and relaxing to use during dag. The staff was very helpful in reservations and providing us with ideas to spend our time between wedding parties. We left before breakfast time, since they know that from night before they helped us with to go box and arranged a taxi Thank you

We’ve just returned from a lovely week in Savelletri. Puglia is absolutely gorgeous – simple, authentic, and beautifully Italian. This little fishing village was the perfect setting for our mother/daughter break in mid-September: perfect sunshine, good food, a clean and stylish hotel, and a delightful seafront stroll to several perfect (nicely simple) restaurants serving fresh pasta, shellfish, and seafood at very reasonable prices. There’s even a local beach club if you fancy a day sitting by the ocean with a bit of beach club vibe. The hotel itself is one of the best in the village. The accommodation was spotless and spacious, with large rooms, generous wardrobes (with plenty of hangers!), and balconies. Views of the sea and mountains at breakfast are breathtaking. Great pool area with sunbed. Strangely we’d booked a “mountain view” room by default (the option if you don’t pay for sea view), but in reality didn’t get one. It didn’t spoil our stay, but it was odd to be told to expect it and then not receive it. Breakfast was outstanding, with a wide selection plus eggs cooked to order. Lunch options at the pool bar were limited but perfect for us – fresh salads and light snacks. For a bigger meal, restaurants along the seafront were just a short stroll away. The hotel doesn’t serve dinner, though reception can arrange delivery if you want to eat in. The staff were exceptional with special mention to Azzura who just couldn’t help us enough and was exceptionally friendly and genuinely interested in making sure we were having a great time. From breakfast service, pool bar staff to the wonderful reception team, every request was handled brilliantly – whether booking restaurants, arranging trips, informed recommendations on local masserias or suggesting other places to visit. They were efficient, helpful, and genuinely lovely. They really made our trip very special. Minor niggle: most plug sockets in our room didn’t work properly with either local plugs or UK adaptors. Overall, we were delighted with the hotel and would happily give it 5 stars. However… The real downside of Savelletri was transport. Without a hire car, getting around was unexpectedly difficult as there are very few taxis in the area. When booking we had carefully considered the proximity to local towns knowing that we would want to venture beyond the local port at least a few times during our stay and taxi journeys really weren’t looking that far. Unfortunately, taxi drivers charged a fortune. Journeys cost us at least double if not treble what we had paid in Rome: €110 for a return trip to Monopoli (just 20 minutes away), and €150 for a one way 40-minute airport transfer (more than London prices by far). Over six days we spent nearly €500 on taxis – each trip far more than we spent on dinner with wine! And we only went on two excursions and two trips to the airport. This definitely limited our options. On talking to other hotel guests we heard that any taxis in the area wer

fabulous hotel with amazing staff and manager. spotless with good breakfast and attentive staff. situated in the middle of Saveletri with restaurants less than 100 metres away. fabulous fish restaurants on the doorstep.

The staff was outstanding, their accommodations absolutely perfect, great recommendations for dinner and outings!
