Biancodonda Greenblu Hotel & Spa

good modern hotel close to old town ,comfy beds ,great breakfast

We stayed at the Biancodonda Greenblu Hotel in Gallipoli for five nights, and we really enjoyed our visit. We found all the staff pleasant and helpful. Our room was large and comfortable, with good quality bedding, towels, and toiletries. The hi-tech shower was an interesting experience, maybe sometimes it’s better to keep things simple! We enjoyed our breakfasts, the array of sweet treats was amazing, and we had to restrain ourselves every morning. The hotel’s location was perfect, just a couple of minute’s walk into the the old town for restaurants and bars, and handy for the shops along the Main Street, Corsa Roma. The hotel has an arrangement with a local beach club, Lido Sottovento, so you can book a place on the shuttle minibus that will take you and bring you back. We paid €20 per day for two beds and a sun-shade, and this price included the return trip. This arrangement wasn’t mentioned on their website, and it greatly improved the quality of our stay. If you don’t want to visit the beach club, there is a small beach in the old town, and the hotel has sun beds, shades and a small plunge pool on the roof. But I would highly recommend Lido Sottovento, it felt like an authentic ‘Italian holiday’ experience, with great beach vibes, and fabulous swimming. In conclusion, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Gallipoli, and our stay at Biancodonda Greenblu. We would recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic Italian seaside experience.
