About the Hotel
Dimora San Giuseppe Hotel & SPA is a four-star property in Otranto, the easternmost city in Italy, positioned in the Salento district of Puglia's Lecce province. Built in 2010, the hotel offers a full spa with sauna, steam room, and indoor pool, alongside concierge services, bicycle hire, and multilingual staff — making it a polished base for exploring one of Puglia's most historically layered destinations. The Otranto Cathedral, with its remarkable 12th-century Norman mosaic floor covering the entire nave, is within walking distance, as is the Castello Aragonese overlooking the harbour.
Activities from the hotel include diving in the Adriatic, scooter and bicycle hire for reaching the Baia dei Turchi beach and Punta Palascìa lighthouse — the true tip of Italy — and hiking trails through the Salento countryside. The Laghi Alimini, a pair of freshwater coastal lagoons, and Otranto's Old Town Albanian heritage quarter are accessible by bike or on foot.
