Cheap Hotels in Magna Grecia

Simply our favorite place. We are an extended family made up of two grandparents, three families, and kids ranging from 10 to 17 years old, and for the past ten years, we’ve chosen Alborea Eco Lodge as our summer holiday destination. Every time it confirms our love for it—and every time, it’s hard to leave. Once again this year, the nautical activities were a big hit, especially with the kids, who enthusiastically took part in windsurfing, sailing, and canoeing. The food this year was perhaps the best we’ve had in the past ten years. A sincere thank-you and congratulations to the entire kitchen staff. A special mention goes to the Zurawski Band, whose live music created truly beautiful moments, adding a touch of quality and atmosphere to the already engaging entertainment offered by Bluserena’s amazing Dream Team. The resort staff is impeccable—kind, helpful, and always attentive to guests’ needs, from the reception team to the dining room staff, the bar crew, and the shuttle drivers. A lovely new addition this year was Gianmarco, the photographer, who, with great professionalism and discretion, managed to capture the most beautiful moments of our vacation. We highly recommend taking the time for a personalized photo session with him—a truly special memory to take home. For us, Alborea is much more than just a destination: it’s a tradition, a family ritual, a place where every year we find warm hospitality, nature, comfort, and genuine beauty.

We were travelling as a family of three and upgraded our room for an extra €10 a night. Well worth it for the extra space. Hotel is spotless clean and staff are absolutely beautiful. So helpful. This hotel grows on you as does Martina Franca. We were sad to have to leave after five nights.

Staff was awesome. Great location just outside the city. Only negative was the bed was a bit hard. Would highly recommend

Beautiful and peaceful retreat. Breakfast was delicious.

A real oasis in Taranto. The rooms are beautifully decorated and for breakfast you could order eggs or pancakes. The views from the seafront rooms are also lovely and staff very attentive. Hopefully in the future they make more of the roof terrace which feels like a bit of a waste at the moment. The area around the hotel isn't necessarily the nicest, but if you are only staying for a couple of nights and either will eat outside of Taranto or are happy to stay within the parade immediately in front then I couldn't recommend this hotel enough.

Great staff, great views of the sea, inexplicable lack of curtains in the rooms.
