20 June 2023. None of the machines work and all covered up so good to park here without paying! Good luck! Also no fees entering the cave of poetry as no attendants present either

People blending into the crowd and hanging out here to break into cars and rummage through bags etc. if you come here come without anything in your car. To be honest, not worth the visit- locals treat their sites like trash, broken glass, cigarette butts and vandalism on the historic artifacts.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately it was closed, too bad. However, I saw very beautiful views of the landscape (Original) Purtroppo era chiuso , peccato. Comunque ho visto scorci di paesaggio molto belli

Expensive car park but convenient for Grotto della Poesia. 1.80€ per hour paid at the start of your stay. No shade so bring a sun shield. We didn’t end up parking here but drove south and parked on the street for free in the shade only 5 minutes further from the Grotto to walk. For reference we stayed at the Grotto della Poesia for 4 hours swimming and sunbathing (did not visit archeological site).

Dont park here, someone forced my car and some of my belongings were stollen.

Our car got broken into. Watch out, not safe.

Someone broke into our car and stole some of our belongings. Please don’t park here if you have anything valuable in the car.

Things inside the car were stolen in the middle of the day!

Just another way trying to make the most money of tourist. >1,50€/ Hour in the middle of nowhere is just ridiculous.

La reseña que hago es simplemente de la playa, no estuve en el hotel. Me encantó las vistas desde la montaña, el agua cristalina, las rocas, la vista del pueblo desde allí, es todo precioso. Hay que tener cuidado porque el acantilado no esta vallado, no recomendaría ir con niños pequeños. En cuanto a la playa, no es muy grande y esta excesivamente llena de butacas de pago. La arena estaba muy limpia. Nosotros fuimos al atardecer y fue muy bonito. (Translated by Google) The review I am making is simply about the beach, I was not in the hotel. I loved the views from the mountain, the crystal clear water, the rocks, the view of the town from there, it's all beautiful. You have to be careful because the cliff is not fenced, I would not recommend going with small children. As for the beach, it is not very big and is excessively full of paid seats. The sand was very clean. We went at sunset and it was very beautiful.

Loved this beach. We were there a week before high season so it was not totally packed yet and there was room on the free part of the beach but we chose to pay for a beach chair and umbrella which cost 12 euro each. It is a sandy beach with crystal clear blue water and not crowded for swiming. I'd imagine in high season this place would be overflowing and parking would be hard. It is paid parking and as we were off season we got one close to walking distance of the beach. Ther are plenty of places to get food and drinks. And the town itself of Torre dell'Orso is quaint and I wished we could of stayed here.

Beautiful clear water and sandy beaches. Arrived 10:00 on weekday and public beach was very full. Nice dip for an hour then on to Otranto to get away from the crowds.

The beach itself is amazing and you can go without necessarily staying the private beaches, someone would just need to stay behind if you don’t wish to leave your possessions unattended because the public space is a tad bit far from the beach. The water is clean and warm (July) to swim and play water sports in. Not much food choices except the restaurants on the beach and they have limited options that are not properly made for the price tag. So would recommend to get your snacks and eat in Lecce or other bigger cities.

Clean and blue water, good space and beautiful scenery. The Torre dell'Orso beach is one of the best beaches in the region of Melendugno, near Ostuni in Puglia. There are also many options of restaurants and services nearby, but parking is scarce in high season.

Best beach in Puglia, largest waves I have ever seen.

Es una playa muy linda con el agua clara y transparene. Las sombrillas no son caras.Lástima que me hicieron una multa por estacionar so re la costa. No había carteles y no molestaba a nadie (Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful beach with clear and transparent water. Umbrellas are not expensive. Too bad they gave me a fine for parking on the coast. There were no signs and it didn't bother anyone.

The beach is great, the sea water is really warm and the waves are really small. It's ideal for families and kids. Parking was easy but paid. It's really near the beach, a few minutes walk. The only downside at this time of the year, is the amount of people. The beach was realy packed and it was hard to find a patch of sand. We will definitely give it another try.

Very crowded at summer, hard to find any place to lie down if you didn’t buy a parasol for a million euros. However the water is crystal clear and the coast is long enough not to get disturbed by people while swimming.

Overcrowded even in September, locally used beach, lots of locals use it. Although beautiful and wide.

We went in a Sunday on August 2021 You should arrive soon, after 10 am will be very hard and practically impossible to find a place on the public part. The private “Lidos” are practically all reserved previously by the tourists. There are hotels and summer houses and small trains discharge a-bunch of tourists at the entrance of the beach. There is a big parking close to the entrance 4 euros for the day. It’s easy to arrive at the beach, The beach is beautiful with clear and calm water. But if it’s crowded hardly you will relax accordingly. The landscape is worth to take nice pictures. Plan well your visit and arrive soon.

Beautiful stop, parking right there.

I couldn't believe what i was looking at. Crystal clear waters,a picturesque place and nice people. What else? Definitely one of my favourite spots all over Italy

Beautiful place, worth visiting.

Great place for jumping from cliffs. Not really a place to hang out for a full day.

Beautiful rock formations. Great photo opportunity. Visited off season with very few people present.

Awesome place. Beautiful. Just difficult to find a parking spot for your car.

The most beautiful and enjoyable rock beach. Access to the sea is durante but not that easy.

Wonderful beach and View. A lot of people in august. Must go!!!

Amazing place. Recommend getting here early to get a flat and smooth spot to lay but wow. Would come back every day if I could. Water is so clear and blue and such a beautiful temperature.

Came late in the day with overcast but could see how pretty this place would be. Shallow swimming area around the cliffs and kids were jumping off. Parking was just off-site and relatively inexpensive.

L’emozione non ha parole. Fate il vostro gioco signore e signori. Giudicate voi e ritornerete sempre in questa calda terra, il mio Salento. Emotion has no words. Play your game ladies and gentlemen. Judge for yourself and you will always return to this warm land, my Salento. У эмоций нет слов. Играйте в свою игру, дамы и господа. Посуди сам, и ты всегда вернешься в этот теплый край, мой Саленто. Für Emotionen gibt es keine Worte. Spielen Sie Ihr Spiel, meine Damen und Herren. Urteilen Sie selbst und Sie werden immer in dieses warme Land, mein Salento, zurückkehren. L'émotion n'a pas de mots. Jouez à votre jeu mesdames et messieurs. Jugez par vous-même et vous reviendrez toujours dans cette terre chaleureuse, mon Salento. 情感無話可說。女士們先生們，玩你們的遊戲。你自己判斷一下，你將永遠回到這片溫暖的土地，我的薩倫托。

Who has not seen as if he had not been in Apullia. Amazing swimming place with crystal clear water. ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing see view!!!

Beautiful views, but expect crowds. Also if you don't spend a lot of time in the sun prepare for almost no shade.

A scenic beauty of Nature. One must visit Torre Sant'Andrea to complete the Puglia Tour. We went there with ebike. From Otranto it took us around 45 min to reach there. Near to this place there is a restaurant which also offers some quality foods

Very beautiful. Can recommend to see the cliffs and walk around a bit. There is also a food truck that sells paninis, coffee and drinks right next to the parking spot.

I was expecting much more. It's forbidden to get in the water, the only thing you could do here is take photos. Wouldn't go back.

To jump in ir swim in the Cave of poetry is forbidden now. They are guards at the site securing the place. Only place to jump is from the hills on the seaside.

1 month ago i was there and swimming was allowed. This time somehow it was forbidden. There was security guy who was guarding the stairs was not speaking english so i couldn't understand the reason. But if ypu are passing by, definately go and check. Entree fee is 3 euros.

Probably one of the best spots in salento. I advise you to go and enjoy the scenery and take a dip in crystal clear water and swim through the tunnel made by seawater. Caution is a rocky zone

Interesting archeological site rich with ruins of a pre-Roman Italic people, namely the Messapi. In order to have a thorough experience of the site it is necessary to book a visit. However it is possible to see the ancient walls which are outside tge closed area. In addition the site also shows Roman and even Middle Age ruins. Really rewarding.

Great experience, beautiful walk through the rocks, beaches and historical remains.

A beautiful stretch of coastline to walk and admire. You can take beautiful pictures. It is not a very suitable place for swimming, but it is possible.

A very nice and quiet (comparably) place for walking along the shoreline.

Loved every single bit of it ! Worth the trip and the dive. We went right in the middle of the month in June. Really enjoyed it.

Beautiful but way too crowded in July.

For the love of god, avoid this hell at all costs. This is 100% the worst place you can possibly go in the area. Go north to Rocca and further you will get much much nicer beaches with a fraction of the people.

Highly overpriced. 40 euro for 1 parasol and 2 chairs in July!!

Good place,crystal clear sea, good service and a lot of fun

(Translated by Google) Establishment in the Two Sisters Beach. 2 sunbeds and 1 umbrella €25. Restaurant with good value for money and organized and friendly staff. Negative note, a little too crowded. Parking near the beach a few hundred meters away for €5 all day. At the right end of the bay (looking at the sea) there is a path that goes up to admire the two sisters from the top of the cliff (an absolute must). (Original) Stabilimento nella Spiaggia delle due sorelle. 2 lettini e 1 ombrellone 25€. Ristorante con buon rapporto qualità prezzo e personale organizzato e gentile. Nota negativa, un po troppo affollato. Parcheggio nei pressi della spiaggia a poche centinaia di metri a 5€ per tutto il giorno. All'estremità destra della baia (guardando il mare) c'è un sentiero che sale per poter ammirare le due sorelle dall'alto della scogliera (da fare assolutamente).

(Translated by Google) After days of being unable to book by phone, we arrived directly here. They asked for a whopping 90 euros for an umbrella and 2 sunbeds in the front row. Negative experience for the service, catering and parking, only one bathroom for the entire beach, really crazy. Salento is beautiful, but this way the tourist will be forced to choose other destinations. (Original) Dopo giorni impossibilitati a prenotare telefonicamente, siamo arrivati direttamente qui. Hanno chiesto la bellezza di 90 euro per un ombrellone e 2 lettini in prima fila. Esperienza negativa per il servizio, la ristorazione ed i parcheggi,un solo bagno per l'intera spiaggia veramente da pazzi il Salento è bello, ma così il turista sarà obbligato a scegliere altre mete.

(Translated by Google) My family and I had the opportunity to have breakfast and lunch. We loved the first courses but above all the mixed fried food served piping hot as it should be. Very nice, fast and competent guys in particular Gabriele who kindly also offered us coffee. (Original) Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo avuto modo di fare colazione e pranzo. Abbiamo adorato i primi ma soprattutto il fritto misto servito bollente come deve essere. Ragazzi molto carini veloci e competenti in particolare Gabriele che carinamente ci ha offerto anche il caffè.

(Translated by Google) Friendly and welcoming staff, clean and spacious beach, with around €15 per person we had a good lunch! The negative note are bathrooms and showers... the paid hot shower was unfortunately cold and the bathroom was not perfectly clean! (Original) Personale gentile ed accogliente, lido pulito e spazioso, con circa 15€ a persona abbiamo consumato un buon pranzo! La nota negativa sono bagni e docce… la doccia calda a pagamento era purtroppo fredda e il bagno non perfettamente pulito!
