Waterfront holiday rentals in Rivabella

Lucci d’Oriente exceeded our expectations. The apartment is spacious, cheerfully decorated and equipped with absolutely everything - nothing is missing. From each window you can see the sea, as if you were inside it. The terrace with direct access to the sea is a real privilege. Going up from there to the apartment takes some effort, but it's totally worth it. It is ideal for a family with children, very comfortable and functional. Santa Cesarea Terme is quiet, with some options to eat light and enjoy an ice cream. Parking lot next door is free if there is a place, and very accessible if paid. Rita and Stefano were exceptional hosts: attentive, friendly and always available. They made us feel right at home. We would definitely go back!

Simply GREAT. Location, apartment very large, Giovanni very accommodating.

Loved our stay here! Just at the end of the bay - perfect position. Just a couple of minutes to reach restaurants and shops. Bright, airy and modern apartment. Fantastic lounge with great balcony. Really comfy beds and pillows. Would definitely stay again if we are back in Otranto.

Amazing Place: Very clean with all the little things you need for an extended stay. Beautiful views from the terrace. We used it as a hub to. Visit the beaches of the area. A perfect stay!

The apartment in Gallipoli is very good, clean , nicely decorated, well-equipped, neighborhood is quiet and right in front of the sea. Easy to park, restaurant , shop nearby. The old town Gallipoli is a 15 min walk walking along the sea , is beautiful. You can go to Enrico's without a second thought.

Very well located for visiting the surroundings, the sea is nearby. Rooftop terrace of the house to share but with a magnificent view 🤩 (beware of rainy days, very slippery stairs OUCH)

Chiara truly earns her title of superhost! She personally greeted and farewelled us and made us feel so welcome in her stunning home, a casa di Adele. The location is perfect and walking around Castro was so enjoyable and easy. The view from the outdoor area was such a pleasant way to relax and soak up the sun and fresh air each day. Chiara is extremely generous and adds so many extras to make her guests comfortable. We really appreciated things such as the drinks, snacks, and breakfast for our first night and morning. We also noticed special touches like plenty of towels, spare power adaptors and citronella candles. Be sure to visit grotto Zinzulusa, eat delicious seafood and swim at the Castro marina. We thoroughly loved our stay in Castro and were very sad we couldn’t stay longer. Best Airbnb this trip, by far!

Beautiful terrace with sea views and outdoor shower. Tastefully made apartment with quality materials. 5-star welcome with a smile and a bottle of regional wine (and a bottle of cold water). Quick and easy communication with the host. The sandy beach is a 5-minute walk away. High quality accommodation, highly recommend.

Very clean and super equipped house. Giulia is always available and kind. Highly recommended!

This house is a real gem. It is located right at the sea. There are stones in front of it but you can go swimming, if you want. On both sides approx. 5-10 min are very nice sandy beaches. The view is amazing and we had super nice sunsets. The house has everything you need and the kitchen is fully equipped. The decoration is maritime and quite cute. It was really peaceful and we had a great time. There are a couple of restaurants in the village as well as shops and even fish shop. We were there at the end of May. Many shops and restaurants were still closed but 20 min by car there is a bigger town where you have everything. We really enjoyed our stay. If you look for peace and quiet - book this lovely house! Highly recommended!

Antonio and Lina are wonderful friendly hosts who take care of everything, highly recommended! The old apartment is cute and tastefully decorated, and when it is warm outside, also bright. We were there at the end of March and the weather was very cold and rainy at first. But we had a wonderful stay in fantastic Gallipoli.

There were two of us staying at the place for six nights and more than satisfied. May is before the season, so we were alone in the entire street. The terrace is a dream, but visible to the neighbors. Because we were alone, this was nothing difficult. We highly recommend the apartment, Fernando was a great host and was always easily accessible and friendly!

Great apartment in the beautiful old town of Gallipoli....everything available...everything clean....only 2 min. from the promenade and beach...yet no noise....with Google Translator, communication was also a problem....again and again....

We had probably our best Airbnb experience. We were greeted on arrival by Paolo who was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our vacation. We could reach him at any time and he also had countless good tips for us. Among other things, he recommended the best ice cream (still dreaming of cioccolata fondente). There were some super tasty local specialties waiting for us when we arrived. The house is very clean and furnished with great attention to detail. You can tell that the owner is an architect. In general, the house really had everything you need. From olive oil and spices to a washing machine and bathrobes. We wanted to spend the whole day on the terrace by the sea which definitely was our highlight. Our stay felt like a dream and we definitely want to come back as soon as possible. Thank you for everything.

House very well located in a very quiet environment. Pietro is very available and has a real sense of hospitality. Ideally located to radiate on the territory and with a small beach nearby (2 min walk) to swim safely and snorkel (which is a real plus, because in Italy the beaches are either private: overloaded, or difficult to find for access to the water due to the geological specificities of the coast). We were a couple and really enjoyed this house.

Small but nice! Great little cottage, but nothing is missing. Very spacious surroundings with different floors to relax. View 10/10! A few minutes' walk to a beautiful bay. Shopping, etc. in a few minutes on foot or by car. Caterina was very friendly and gave us insider tips for restaurants and swimming areas. Cleanliness very good! I can recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy.

We had a very relaxing time in Vittorio's apartment. The large balcony has a great view of the sea. 2 beaches are directly opposite, only across the less-traveled road from the apartment. The free city beach with the wind-protected bay can also be reached in a few minutes on foot. The sea is crystal clear and shines in all shades of blue. The old town of Otranto is also within a few minutes' walk and offers a wide range of restaurants and ice cream parlors. Vittorio welcomed us very nicely, also gave us many tips during the stay and stayed in touch with us. The apartment is lovingly furnished and has everything you need. We recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to spend a relaxing holiday in Otranto.

The place was great, very clean and a great terrace. The apartment is centrally located, good bakeries and restaurants are a few minutes' walk away. Alessandra responded to our messages right away and was flexible with the check-out, which we greatly appreciated. We can only recommend the place.

This apartment is excellent. The location and views are amazing. We enjoyed the proximity to beach, local cafe and constantly changing vista. Out hosts were very supportive and friendly, but allowed us the space for a quiet holiday. We appreciated quick responses when we asked for recommendations. This was a relaxing, spacious and restful place to be. Thank you Marcello and Claudio.

Our experience at Elizabeth's apartment was fantastic from start to finish. Communication with her was seamless; she was always quick to assist and answer any questions we had. Elizabeth went above and beyond, providing detailed instructions for our late check-in and sharing wonderful recommendations for nearby restaurants. The apartment was spotless, and we especially enjoyed the balconies with their stunning views. Located in a peaceful area, the apartment was just a short walk to great dining spots and a charming local beach. Thank you, Elizabeth, for an unforgettable stay – we would love to return!

The hosts are very accommodating, I found the apartment a bit small, but it was ok for 3 days. The view is amazing :)

It was a pleasant stay at Alessandra's place. The place has true AirBnb vibes, it felt like we stayed in someone else's home. Alessandra welcomed us and showed us the private parking lot and the flat. There is no wifi at the apartment, but that was not a problem for us. Gallipoli is walkable and the flat has a nice location.

Loved my experience here. Beautiful location. People are friendly in the building and surrounding area. Giovanni is warm and communicative. There was coffee and other necessities to cook. I hope to make it back there one day. Thank you Giovanni.

We had a wonderful stay! The apartment was as described: spacious, very clean, in a very quiet area and a 5-minute walk to the beach. We felt right at home. There were drinks in the fridge when we arrived. And Tony... a perfect host! Very attentive, he made us taste very good specialties, we enjoyed ourselves! Also very responsive to our questions and very good advice for visits, restaurant addresses, supermarket addresses, the cooperative to buy olive oil. I would recommend this place without hesitation! We'll go back! Many thanks Tony! :)
