Hotel Ethra Reserve - Alborèa 5* in Castellaneta Marina

This place breaths serenity. Amazing location to relax and enjoy good food, wonderful beach and great people. I will return for sure

Spectacular resort surrounded by nature. It's a true gem in Puglia. Exclusive, clean, true to its concept and charming. All the staff make this place wonderful. Service at the restaurant is wonderful and the team at the bar- Giovanni and the other young male, Serena and Serena, Giulia, i forgot to look at the name tags of everyone. Also the lady at the beach bar truly loves her job ;) thank you, we shall return.

Simply our favorite place.
We are an extended family made up of two grandparents, three families, and kids ranging from 10 to 17 years old, and for the past ten years, we’ve chosen Alborea Eco Lodge as our summer holiday destination. Every time it confirms our love for it—and every time, it’s hard to leave.

Once again this year, the nautical activities were a big hit, especially with the kids, who enthusiastically took part in windsurfing, sailing, and canoeing.

The food this year was perhaps the best we’ve had in the past ten years. A sincere thank-you and congratulations to the entire kitchen staff.

A special mention goes to the Zurawski Band, whose live music created truly beautiful moments, adding a touch of quality and atmosphere to the already engaging entertainment offered by Bluserena’s amazing Dream Team.

The resort staff is impeccable—kind, helpful, and always attentive to guests’ needs, from the reception team to the dining room staff, the bar crew, and the shuttle drivers.
A lovely new addition this year was Gianmarco, the photographer, who, with great professionalism and discretion, managed to capture the most beautiful moments of our vacation.
We highly recommend taking the time for a personalized photo session with him—a truly special memory to take home.

For us, Alborea is much more than just a destination: it’s a tradition, a family ritual, a place where every year we find warm hospitality, nature, comfort, and genuine beauty.

Nice location (in the nature), big area including the rooms, all clean, super nice staff- always friendly and supportive, great buffet food- changes and is so fresh! , nice area also at the sea-side with boats for free Sport activities and entertainment could be enjoyed at the neighnour resort (Bluserena Valentino Resort) - we took a lot advantage of tennis with the smart, young, experienced and friendly trainer: Andrea from Napoli- he was best! Also, we did some sightseeing (ca 1hr distance to Matera, Alberobello, Polignano, Grotte di Castellana) - perfectly located.....BUT you need a car to move around

Check in was quite easy and they offered an early check in, our rooms were rear by 1pm when we arrived. Room is nice, bathroom a little outdated

We have spent 10 marvellous days at Alborea. It has been outstanding from all points of view. The location is beautiful, the accommodation absolutely five stars, and so has been the service, the food, the restaurant and the personnel. Pepe and all the restaurant team have been warm hosts, always ready to go the extra mile to make us feel perfect. The dishes were absolutely delicious. The staff at the beach and the Il Mediteraneo restaurant just excellent. Thank you all for making our vacation perfect. We will definitely recommend Alborea!

Fantastics rooms under the pines, everything in wood, sure, its not new but well maintenance and its the essence of the place. Well service, friendly staff, good entertainment (not by the pool but they take the Kids and bring another place of the resort for play with other kids).
