Agriturismo Le Tagliate

I really wish we’d chosen somewhere else. Our room was small and dark, and I felt claustrophobic and depressed. The air conditioning barely worked, so it was unbearably hot. There isn’t much to do at the property, and without a car it would be extremely boring. Breakfast is included in the price4night, but any extra coffee or food costs a lot. Dinner is the only meal available, and most of it is deep-fried, so it didn’t feel very balanced. It seems geared toward families with young children. If you want to relax or have a quiet setting, you probably won’t enjoy it. There was no Wi-Fi, so I couldn’t work either. Extremely disappointing.

There were two big tables of locals, which is always a good sign. We’d heard about this place from our hotel and were glad we came. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual, with a little twist, and the location was lovely. The staff made us feel very welcome. We especially liked the wide range of antipasti, and the pasta and main course were great too. We’d come back.

A really good dinner for very little money. For 20 euros, you get loads of starters and a main course, all very tasty. There were plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and the location is great too.

The staff made us feel so welcome, and the people running the place clearly love what they do. Flavia was especially wonderful. She drove to Otranto to collect our luggage so we could hike to Uggiano/Porto Badisco. After checkout, we were allowed to stay by the pool the next day, and they gave us a ride to Porto Badisco to continue our walk. The food deserves a mention too: the antipasti were the best, almost a whole lunch, and the wine was great. Try Talo Primitivo. The pool and atmosphere were lovely as well. Amazing value for money, and a beautiful memory for us. I absolutely recommend Flavia and her family’s agriturismo and restaurant. Guy & Siebe.
