Albergo del Sole - Taranto

Nestled just outside the historic center of Martina Franca, this garden oasis from the heat and city make it an ideal place to stay, which we did for four nights. With ample free parking, the hotel is extremely convenient for exploring the surrounding towns of the Valle d'Itria such as Alberobello, Cisternino, Locorotondo and Ostuni by car. The hotel itself maintains an opulent charm from a slightly bygone era - the room while spacious and clean had an extremely dated bathroom with a whirlpool tub/shower combination but no shower curtain or partition. This resulted in copious amounts of water splashing about the floor. This combined with shoddy caulking around the tub left me with a dim view of the bathroom. The room furnishings were dated and tired. The room did include a nice veranda. The reception staff were brusque but efficient and acceptable. The waitstaff were very pleasant to deal with, and the morning breakfast buffet vast - excellent coffee. Your fellow patrons are mostly Italian businessmen, a few tourists and "the regulars". One gets the idea that many of the rather elderly patrons come back for a relaxing stay on a yearly basis and have been doing so for some time. Overall, the hotel is recommendable. Martina Franca itself is a splendid maze of an old town, and not to be missed. Try Piazetta Garibaldi for amazing food.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Our double room was quite large and comfortable. Overall, a very nice hotel. And it's only about a block from the train station.
