Donato's place is perfect for a stay in Santa Cesarea Terme. It has wonderful balcony, comfy beds, great showers and tastefully decorated. Donato himself is a great guy who really makes you feel welcome and will go above and beyond to make your stay a pleasant one.
Maybe the best part is it's perfectly located to an amazing lido, just three mins walk away. There you can swim in crystal clear waters, use the reasonably priced sun loungers and umbrellas or go to the amazing pizza restaurant. All of the staff there are fantastic and it wasn't overcrowded, even in July.
The town itself is small but nice with really friendly people. The small mini-market (Happy Market) has lovely staff with one lady who speaks great English which you wouldn't expect in a sleepy coastal town. Please take note that there's no supermarket in the town so you may want to get some supplies before arrival if you want more than the basics.
