Car Hire in Otranto - Mini guide to Otranto

The adult-only Club Med resorts stretch far beyond the Mediterranean, however one of its best complexes can be found at the southernmost tip of Italy where the Adriatic meets the Ionian sea.

Club Med Otranto is located just one hour’s drive from Brindisi Airport, near Ostuni. This resort features over four hundred well-appointed rooms. Guests are well catered for a range of amenities including a swimming pool and tennis courts. A nine-hole golf course and driving range are available for those who wish to perfect their stroke. Activities as well as relaxing in the sun can work up an appetite, so there are a range of bars and restaurants on site.

A private, sheltered, sandy beach is located beside the Otrantro village. While many guests prefer to sun bathe, others enjoy swimming in the warm sea and trying out new water sports. A boutique and bazaar are available on site, making it a truly all-inclusive resort.

A car hire service is available for those looking to explore beyond the complex from: Torre Santo Stefano. While there is public transportation in southern Italy, it can be restrictive and slow, so car hire is strongly recommended.
