Villa Dune Luxury Roof Top Pool Wellness

Villa Dune is such a find for a trip that includes beautiful cities like Gallipoli. You get both the history and the lovely beaches, with the villa just steps from the sand and only minutes from the city. Our room was clean, and the luxurious little touches were all there, from plush towels and thick warm robes to slippers and blankets for watching the view. The bed itself wasn’t comfortable, even with the beautiful sheets and bedding. The service was warm and outstanding. I’d absolutely return to this beautiful B&B.

The rooftop pool is great for a quick cold dip or a bit of sun without getting sandy, and the sea is just across from the hotel at a public beach, about 50m from the front gate. The sea-facing rooms have spectacular views, and the hotel is quiet with very friendly people. The beds are soft and cozy, and the free wifi worked fine. TV is mostly local channels, but the view from the room is plenty of entertainment. It’s a small hotel with breakfast. Let them know when you’ll arrive so they can get the room ready and send the entry door code details. There’s free street parking right outside. Breakfast is a nice Italian and European spread of croissants, yogurt, fruit, cheese, cold cuts like prosciutto and salami, juice, coffee, and tea, with eggs made to order. The beach community is fairly remote, and the one small nearby grocery store has unreliable hours. It’s best to pick up food, drinks, and toiletries at a larger store in the city before you arrive, or be ready to drive out on the highway to the next community. Gallipoli city and Punto Della Suina beach are each about a 15-minute drive away.

Silvia looked after us so well and made sure our stay was comfortable. Her fresh breakfasts gave us a perfect start to each day. The location is fantastic, whether you’re at the beach or up on the rooftop.

Breakfast by the sea was a highlight every morning, and the sound of the waves with those breathtaking views made the location feel perfect. Silvia was wonderfully welcoming and took care of everything. We felt completely comfortable at Villa Dune and will definitely come back.
