This lido is an absolute gem! The location is simply stunning, and the food on offer is top-notch. I was a little puzzled as to why the showers were closed due to Covid, but it didn't detract from my overall experience. Everything else was open and available, and I had a wonderful time soaking up the sun and enjoying the ocean views. If you're looking for a beautiful beach destination with great amenities, this is definitely the place to be!

The cuisine at this beach spot in Puglia is of superior quality and features typical regional dishes. However, what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service provided by the staff. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a refreshing glass of Prosecco and given the freedom to choose our own table. The staff went above and beyond by providing a heartfelt speech about the importance of enjoying the company around the table and leaving with a smile. Even when we struggled with the Italian-only menu, three waiters came to our aid, showcasing the best service we have experienced in Puglia thus far. We highly recommend this beach spot to anyone seeking exceptional food and unparalleled service. A sincere thank you from our group of three Germans and one American.

We made our way to the beach on a lazy Sunday afternoon, with the sole intention of indulging in some scrumptious food and wine. Upon arrival at 4pm, we were pleasantly surprised by the limited yet delicious menu that was on offer. The food was simply delectable and paired perfectly with the exquisite wine selection. We savored every bite and sip, thoroughly enjoying the tranquil ambiance of the beach.

This beach is simply unforgettable. It ranks high among my most cherished seaside experiences. The luxurious king size sunbeds were an absolute delight. The water is so clear that one can see right through it, and the snorkeling is nothing short of amazing.

The cuisine was superb, and the beachfront setting was simply breathtaking. Although the prices were reasonable, I could only award 4 stars due to the lack of experience displayed by some of the waitstaff, who may have been young. Nonetheless, everything else exceeded our expectations, and we had a delightful evening.
