Hotel La Corte

The Plus Points -Decent size room -Parking -Nice grounds -Balcony (decent size) - but no chairs -Reasonably priced mini bar The Minus Points -Very thin Pillows -1 hard chair in room -Very poor choice at breakfast, almost everything was sweet. There wasn't even any standard bread ! Also, every time you wanted a coffee, you had to ask for it. -Extreemly loud noise in the grounds till 1.45 in morning like a pop concert - The reception weren't very helpful - They said they would have given us earplugs if we’d asked -Quite far from Matera - OK if you have a car -Very small television in room -14” -In bathroom, a wooden block used to put towels on, didn’t leave enough room to use the toilet. -Diabolical hair dryer - operated like a garden leaf blower, that is when you’ve worked out how to switch it on - the switch is unmarked at the opposite end of the bathroom -Poor WiFi in the rooms -Train line at the back of the hotel - not mentioned anywhere The Hotel needs to decide whether they are a wedding/event venue or a hotel, on this evidence they can’t be both. Exactly how was it decided that this is a 4 star ? I have stayed in considerably better 2 star hotels.

Situated within easy reach of fabulous beaches and several historical towns such as Lecce, Alberobello and Ostuni this is a great hotel. Super professional and friendly staff look after your every wish. The food was excellent with lots of regional dishes which were washed down with local house wine which was good and so cheap!The decor was so tasteful and the infinity swimming pool had beautiful views over the olive groves and the coastline. We were so relaxed we did not use the spa treatments! Great value and a real find. We would love to go back.

Hotel difficult to find. Room well appointed. Bar and restaurant very basic, little choice.

Hotel is on beautiful grounds. The staff is attentive. The room was comfortable . Easy ride to Matera.
