Otranto: Palazzo de Mori and Masseria Montelauro

December 9, 2012|Tags: bed and breakfast, country house, otranto|By: anita

Two addresses, two styles, two complete different sensations. We experienced Otranto from all possible and different angles: from a camper van, a design hotel, an old palazzo as well as a masseria out-of-town and each time we saw Otranto slightly different. The Palazzo de Mori, located on the edge of the old village with a great view on the sea and port of Otranto, let you literally smell not only the breeze of the sea, but also the stories the stones are whispering. It invites to stroll around the old town, following the windy alleys and more often the tremendous flow of tourists. However, as soon as the gate of the private patio closes, one feels save and secure. The yummy breakfast is served on the terrace and honestly, a simple cup of coffee in the camper van cannot really compete…

We were late, it was already dark and we still did not find our place to stay for this night. Quite often we forget about time and hunger once we follow any – more or less  – hidden paths to promissing addresses. This day was exactly such a day; we drove miles without really moving, just across fields in search of gorgeous masserias. In the darkness we lost our way and ended up knocking at a private door, asking for help. Powered by direction, phone numbers and insider’s tips we went and stopped off at the masseria Montelauro. As we were late, and a group of cyclists just checked in, we unfortunately did not get our favourite room, but nonetheless we stayed. The masseria Montelauro is an old farmhouse carefully restored and hosting many rooms. The own restaurant was still open and served traditional dishes with a solid bottle of negramaro. A perfect location to start the day with run through the countryside and a rich breakfast in the garden.
