Description
Fontanelle is an organic farmhouse by the sea, a few kilometers north of Otranto, and just a stone's throw from the beautiful Baia dei Turchi beach. We have designed our rooms in harmony with the natural environment that surrounds them, using local materials, sustainable technologies, and furnishings that reflect the culture of the area.

Our location allows easy access not only to the free beach or beach resorts (within walking distance), but also to the natural oasis of the Alimini Lakes (1 km by car or bike) and the beautiful Otranto (5 minutes by car or bus).

We are pleased to accommodate you in 9 double rooms with private bathroom, all different but equally comfortable, decorated thematically inspired by the characters from the history of Otranto: the beautiful Idrusa, Alfonso d'Aragona, Akmed Pascià, Colangelo the fisherman, and many others. Each one has a unique atmosphere!
The rooms, all equipped with private outdoor space with clothesline, table, and chairs, some overlooking a sunny garden, are equipped with: air conditioning, mosquito nets, small fridge, television, courtesy soaps, bed linen and towels, shower box, wifi internet, and internal parking. The rich organic breakfast is served outdoors.

Inside the estate, you can also purchase our organic products: extra virgin olive oil, ancient grain flours, fresh vegetables, honey, tomato puree, and pasta.

We are in the countryside, 5 km away from Otranto, overlooking the beautiful Baia dei Turchi beach, which can be reached on foot with a 5-minute walk through the pine forest. The Alimini lakes, places of botanical and faunal interest, with canoe rental and horseback riding excursions, are 1 km away (an ideal distance for cycling). The charming villages of Salento Greece are also just a few kilometers away.

Marina and her staff are exceptional, it feels like being at home, welcoming, well-kept, family-like, it conveys serenity. Every morning fresh cakes for breakfast, made by Marina, a wonderful person who fulfilled every request. Many are the strong points of this B&B where I recommend going for those who want to relax in a simple and well-kept environment, which conveys all the warmth of those who manage it.

Wonderful stay! Structure just a few steps from the Baia dei Turchi which is reached by a relaxing walk in the pine forest. Abundant and delicious breakfast, a special thanks to Tina and Antonella for their kindness and availability. We were also thrilled by the theatrical visit of Otranto thanks to the Otranto card! A unique experience that I highly recommend! I hope to come back soon! Arianna and Jacopo.

Fontanelle is managed excellently. The reception is super friendly and you get all the interesting information. All the staff are open-minded and friendly. The facility is very well maintained and there is nothing missing (except a pool). 10 minutes walk to the public beach (free). Right next door you can also rent umbrellas and sunbeds (€ 20, - for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella per day). We will gladly come back!

Lovely farmhouse, very close to the city of Otranto, extremely clean rooms tastefully decorated, delicious breakfast with homemade pastries and products, and then the walk down to the sea at Baia dei Turchi in 5 minutes on foot is priceless. It was a very pleasant stay! I would gladly return... I used the holiday bonus without any kind of issue!

Strategic location, very quiet place despite the proximity to the road, super breakfast with sweets made by the lady of the place and served by the very kind ladies Tina and Antonella! You can reach Baia dei Turchi in no time from the property without taking the car, which is no small thing! I recommend the naturalistic landscape tour that the property suggests upon arrival; very fascinating with a very prepared and nice guide. We hope to return!

My husband and I stayed at this property for a week. It is located in the countryside of Otranto and a short walk from Baia dei Turchi. The free beach of Baia dei Turchi is easily reachable on foot, crossing a pine forest. It's about 800 meters from the rooms. In the morning, a plentiful breakfast is served, filled with sweet and savory delicacies prepared by the owner and served by two very helpful and kind ladies. The same ladies take care of the room cleaning, always perfect, even the two guys who practically take care of everything are always very helpful and kind. In short, a quiet and well-kept place in a fabulous seaside environment. Highly recommended to everyone. And I repeat, something not to be underestimated at all is the kindness and availability that reigns! Thank you very much to all the staff for the beautiful and very peaceful week spent with you! We will definitely come back.

We had a good time and appreciated the opportunity to use the bicycles provided by the property for free. Very caring staff attentive to requests. Beautiful walk in the pine forest before reaching the beach, which, however, is rather small and crowded. We also enjoyed the free guided tour of Otranto available with the Otranto card.

stayed from 06/22/2019 to 07/02/2019
The answer from the host:
Gentile Roberto, grazie della sua opinione positiva! Accettiamo le sue osservazioni riguardo agli orari, anche se riteniamo che in un agriturismo l'orario 8-10: 30 sia adeguato, nonché quello finora maggiormente richiesto dai nostri ospiti. La reception è aperta dalle 9 alle 12 e dalle 15:30 alle 19. Negli orari restanti, continuiamo comunque a lavorare per organizzare al meglio le vostre vacanze;) Alla prossima!

Soggiorno magnifico! La struttura è nuova, pulitissima e curata nei dettagli. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile e la proprietaria è davvero squisita e attenta ad ogni esigenza. La colazione è varia e deliziosa, ricca di prodotti locali sempre freschi. Abbiamo anche gustato i prodotti dell'agriturismo all'ora di pranzo, come le verdure fresche, il pane e le focacce da accompagnare a mozzarella e burrata e siamo rimasti estasiati. Il posto è vicino alla baia dei turchi, dove si può usufruire della spiaggia libera o di strutture attrezzate e dove l'acqua è cristallina e con fondale sabbioso. A dieci minuti di auto si trovano Otranto e tantissimi posti che fanno cucina locale a km zero per le vostre serate. Una vacanza splendida, da provare!

Cercavo un posto che fosse a Otranto nella zona di Alimini e che fosse vicino al mare, tanto da non dover prendere l'auto. A marzo, dando un'occhiata su internet, mi imbatto nel sito del B&B Le fontanelle e non essendoci foto delle camere, decido di telefonare. Parlo con Marina, la proprietaria, che mi informa che stavano terminando i lavori e che mi avrebbe inviato le foto prima di pubblicarle su internet. Così è stato, mi sono innamorata di ciò che ho visto e colpita dalla gentilezza di Marina, ho deciso di prenotare. L'arrivo è stata una piacevole sorpresa, per me era la prima volta in un B&B, bella struttura molto curata e caratterizzata da dettagli "sorprendenti", nel pieno rispetto delle tradizioni salentine. Marina si è dimostrata un'ottima padrona di casa e le sue collaboratrici di una gentilezza unica, sempre pronte a soddisfare ogni esigenza. Un solo neo: aver prenotato solo per una settimana. Grazie e arrivederci sicuramente.
