There are 55 elegant en suite guest rooms, all of which open out on to private balconies. The rooms have simple airy decor with everything you'd expect of a contemporary coastal property from crisp bed linen to comfortable furnishings and white and earthy colour schemes.

The hotel's T'imo restaurant serves a range of mouth-watering Mediterranean dishes, including fresh fish and more substantial Puglian specialities. The Cumino bar, meanwhile, is perfect for a cocktail or two as well as fresh nibbles such as limed olives and bite-sized frisellines.

Torre Canne beach is a stone's throw away from the hotel's three acres of grounds and swimming pool and is a popular spot for true tan aficionados, while the hotel's spa is a zen haven where you can indulge in a range of beautifying treatments and massages.

For any guests looking to do more than kick back and relax, this bit of Puglia is well worth exploring, from walks along the beach to visiting nearby beautiful towns and sites.
