Coclee Guest Suite Palace

We stayed at the Coclee for 7 nights and it could not have been a better experience. What made the visit so great were the people, the service and the hotel itself. The People The staff at the hotel were fabulous. It is a family business, so there are numerous family members working at the hotel. All of the employees treated it like it was their family and we were members of the family too. Every accommodation we asked for was met with a smile. You will not find nicer people. The Service Wow, the service! Every morning we were served a breakfast which was out of this world, even by how delicious European breakfasts usually are. The hotel has a shuttle that will take you anywhere in Salve. Though we had a car it was just easier most days to hop in the shuttle and let them drive us to the lido or to an excursion. The hotel provided us with a detailed list of local restaurants and made all of our reservations for dinner, lidos,and excursions. The service was the last word! The Hotel The hotel opened in 2019, so it looks brand new. The building was an old olive oil factory, so much of the decor features nods to its former life. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were large by European standards, and it had sleek design. The town of Salve is a little sleepy but it’s a great place for a southern Pulgian home base. You can get a driver at night to take you to dinner in other towns and on the sea but you’ll be thrilled to come back to the Coclee.

Bel endroit rénové avec goût il y a quelques années mais comme une ambiance de gloire passée. On sent que les moyens manquent : Les chambres sont spacieuses mais mal isolées . La literie n’est pas très confortable, (lit très dur), et aucun service annexes: pas de minibar, ni de café ou thé , aucun produit de toilette… Le personnel est très gentil mais pas très professionnel et ,attention ils ne sont pas là toute la journée. La piscine est toute petite et peu nettoyée, il y a deux transats seulement dont un cassé … Le petit-déj’ est imposé, pas de buffet, c’est donc un peu limité et pas forcément adapté à nos envies. Pas de parking (même si la rue est calme et qu’on peut se garer facilement), En résumé, ce cela reste un hôtel correct, mais pas à la hauteur d’un quatre-étoiles.

Très bel hôtel situé dans une ruelle calme, nous avons eu une grande chambre avec balcon. Le petit déjeuner typique du Salento est copieux et délicieux. A proximité, les belles plages de sable fin, et côté campagne ne manquez pas le village de Specchia et ses délices culinaires.
