La Peschiera Hotel

Hard to believe how this is still a 5 hotel star and prt of SLH. We have witnessed the decay of this property and their service quality over the years. We used to be regular guests coming twice a year for the last 5 years but at this point this has hit its lowest. Other than the view and breakfast by the water this is not 5 stars hotel nor they make an effort to make you feel your 1500-1800 euro per night is worth it. In this opportunity upon arrival we were denied the option to have dinner at the hotel any night (basically the only reason why we still come here for) due to events that had been booked. They blamed it on us saying we should have reserved (when a pre check e mail does not indicate that) and when its hard to believe that a hotel can simply deny guests and not accommodate options for dinner and prioritize outside reservations. After begging we were offered a really late table and seating for one of the worst dinning experiences ever. A dinner for 4 people costed nearly 1000 euro, awful service, rushed, lack of attention from all staff, grumpy waiters denied the option to remove any fish from their existing menu to accomodate my husbands allergies. We again had to beg for a simple risotto or pasta after being told no, more than twice by waiter and chef. Completely overpriced food, 60 euro for a pasta wirh a tiny bit of lobster. The fresh fish cart to choose from no longer exists. Last day we had to beg for our room to be cleaned at 6:30 pm. Staff is impersonal, unhelpful and manager Francesco is slippery and has the same bad attitude when asked to accommodate any needs. Rooms ran down, facilities old and dirty in some places as well. Your money will be better spent at any of the other hotels nearby.Stay away from this one…

Beautiful position with rooms looking over the Adriatic. Our room was just a few metres from the sea! Wonderful staff, all of whom were so friendly and professional. Good food. Well located between Bari and Lecce, where there are great opera houses. Recommend most highly.

This special hotel with incredible sea views and all white magical restaurant and grounds. Absolutely love for a quiet getaway and in an off the beaten path location. The rooms are so perfect for a peaceful getaway

Don’t be fooled by the good photography. This is one of the most overpriced, overhyped hotels I have ever stayed at - and as someone who works in travel, I’ve visited a lot! What could have been glorious, was a serious let down. Pokey, dark, sterile rooms with broken furniture.

Unique location in front of the sea It is one of the few places in Puglia where you can enjoy the sea directly from your room. The breakfast service in the room ‘s terrace in front of the sea are the only two good points of this hotel. The room (560€/night) is oldish with a terrible decoration taste. Specially the furniture, but that is irrelevant in front of the service. The availability to help and do their best is inexistent . We ask for a two hour late check out that was not provided. We stayed in the pool while watching the ladies coming to our room late in the afternoon to clean… I was supposed to be coming at the end of September for a beneficent party in another very famous masseria close from here. I did the reservation in the morning and in the afternoon the party was cancelled because an accident happened to the organizer. I email the hotel to cancel the room, after only 6 hours from the reservation. Instead, they charged my credit card with 100% of the amount. When I called to explain the situation they didn’t accept any excuse form my part but at the end I could manage to change the date and paying 200€ for the upgrade and one person more. Even the restaurant is expensive with Michelin star prices, without the stars. With an standard ambience, quality of food and service. The only thing remarkable is the massage performed at the sister hotel. I won’t be coming back
