Montecallini Hotel - Adults Only in Patu

My wife and I had a great stay at Montecallini for our honeymoon. The staff were amazing and are a real credit to the hotel, particularly the team on the front desk. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable, the pool was lovely & refreshing, and the on-site breakfast/dinner was delicious. It’s a short walk down to a local cove to swim (with a couple of bars too), plus e-bikes and buses to local towns/restaurants made it manageable not having a car. Would highly recommend staying here 😄

We totally enjoyed our stay here. It was super clean, modern and had a beautiful breakfast set in a lovely room with outdoor seating also possible. The garden looked wonderful with many pretty flowers and delicious looking vegetables as well as a large, clean swimming pool with a water feature and great areas to sun. Birds also happily chirped in the trees. Our balcony had gorgeous views of the gardens, pool and Ionian Sea. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We would return in a flash. The location was also very good as it was within walking distance to restaurants and a beach. Other famous beaches were a quick drive away.

Rooms are very clean, and the staff are lovely. Made us feel very welcome

This hotel is a truly unique find. Most hotels in the 4-star category resemble more of a 3-star experience, whereas this one feels more like a 5-star hotel. It’s even more beautiful in reality than in the pictures. The rooms are exceptionally clean, spacious, and airy, with views of the pool, well-maintained gardens, and the sea, or of gardens filled with cacti and stone walls. The staff is fabulous and speaks excellent English. The poolside bar serves the best drinks in the area, along with great whiskey for the discerning palate. The restaurant, nestled among cacti and a blooming garden, offers gourmet dishes at surprisingly reasonable prices. This is the place to go for a romantic getaway or to relax and perhaps read a book in the shade under the trees in cozy chairs. We were here at the end of August and had the pool almost entirely to ourselves. This hotel is for adults; relaxed, elegant, and a hidden gem just up a hill and away from the tourist traps along the coast. If you have a car, you can reach the nearest beach in just a few minutes. I love the sea, but I found it magical to return to the hotel's peaceful and expansive grounds each evening. If you want to see famous landmarks like Galipoli, Lecce, and Monopoly, both on Italy’s most beautiful beaches and cliffs, while avoiding tourist traps, this is the destination for you. Outstanding beaches, cliffs, and renowned cities just a short drive away, as well as small, authentic cobblestone villages with narrow streets.

Absolutely fabulous hotel. Beautiful decor. Wonderful pool with hydromassage area, set in the gardens. Breakfast provided plenty of choice and all servers throughout the day were very friendly and efficient. Room was large with good sized bathroom and balcony with garden and sea view and perfectly quiet. What made our trip special was the amazing reception team. Julio and Chiara, supported by Nicolo and Valentina helped us so much. Julio organised several tours for us then very reasonable car hire. In each instance we were picked up at the hotel. Chiara planned a day trip for us including wine tasting, ceramic studio visit finishing with a delicious seafood lunch overlooking the sea. A very memorable holiday for us.

Montecallini is an absolutely beautiful hotel with amazing staff who make you feel so welcome. The breakfast is superb. The bedroom was spacious with a large bathroom and a balcony overlooking the gardens and a sea view. Giulio, on reception, organised a variety of excellent tours for us and car hire at a very good price. He always responded promptly to emails. Chiara, his colleague, planned a day out for us with wine tasting, a ceramic studio visit and fabulous seafood lunch overlooking the sea.
The pool is set in a pretty garden and has hydromassage equipment at one end. One of our best holidays ever!

Oh my word! Amazing, I Booked this property only because of its location. From the lobby displaying vintage vehicles, and antiques, as well as local artisan creations. To the grounds that were immaculately maintained. Entering the room itself was also an experience, very modern, very simple, very elegant. We asked about the lovely scent of the room, “simply the cleaning products we use, all natural.” And the breakfast, 360 degrees of wonderful fruit, pastries, and savoury goodness. Traveling late in the season we unfortunately were informed the restaurant had closed for the season, I am certain it would have been worth a visit.

Beautiful hotel with wonderful personnel.

Our room was quite big and well equipped. The people from hotel's staff are very nice and helpful. Anything you need, they will do their best to help you out. We were treated really, really nicely during our stay.`

The place is also truly beautiful. This hotel is not giant, has a wonderful garden, a pool, and places to sit very comfortably outside. Food was also delicious! Overall, we are very happy with our stay, and if we ever visit Apulia again, we will probably return to Montecallini.

Excellent stay at such a beautiful boutique hotel. Highly recommend this place.

We cycled 80 km in 30 degrees heat. The short but steep hill up to the hotel took the last energy out of us. Wonderful to check into a nice and clean hotel room. After a shower a looong relax at the nice outdoor pool. Very good and rich continental breakfast. Easy to store our bicycles over the night.
