Villanova Vacation Packages

The room was clean and spacious. However, the air conditioning wasn’t cool enough, and there was no iron in the room

The property is even better than advertised! It is a gorgeous resort and very convenient for young families. The little train will take you to the private beach in minutes. The 3 pools are wonderful, but the most noteworthy thing to mention is the incredible staff!!! Amazing, attentive, always busy and making sure that the guests have everything. There is nothing I did not like (except maybe the security guard at the villas’ gate who was extremely rude because we were at the wrong gate to exit)… My husband and I would come back and recommend it wholeheartedly!

The Hotel Orientale in Brindisi is a very good place to stay, The rooms are clean, the property is well maintained. The hotel is very well located - just a couple of blocks from the scenic seafront promenade that is perfect for dinning, having coffee or a gelato and watching the sunset. The hotel has a nice breakfast buffet. The hotel staff was also very attentive. Furthermore, the hotel has parking - which was a must for us as we had a car. There is Taxi stand right in front of the hotel that you can use only to unload your luggage and check in. At that time, you will give your car key to the assistant who will park the car for you. There are many stores around the hotel and places to have coffee, gelato, and snacks. Additionally, there are plenty of things to see and do in Brindisi which can take you a full day. The main sites worth visiting include: the Duomo (Cathedral of Brindisi); the Church (Chiesa) of San Giovanni; The Chiesa of San Benedetto; the Ribezzo Archeological Museum; the Palazoo Granasfei Nervagna; and the Monument to Italian Sailors (which you must take the ferry over to the other side of Brindisi less than 2 Euros per ride). All sites in Brindisi are walking distance from the hotel - but you must like to walk if you want to see the Swavian Castle from the outside- which is closed to the public as it is now a Navy base. Furthermore, if you want to visit the Castello Alfonsino - it might not be possible as it requires calling and making a reservation.
