Popular with vacationing families, the 330-room Victor Village Resort is a good option for those wanting to spend their vacation swimming and sunbathing. There's a big outdoor pool surrounded by trees and a small hotel shuttle that resembles a train carries guests to the sandy beach, which has an on-site bar and restaurant. There are plenty of outdoor recreation areas and a kids' club to entertain the children. The village has both time-share properties and standard rooms of varying quality, some of which have been renovated. Guests looking for a more low-key destination may want to consider Hotel Club Astor, a mid-range hotel that, unlike the Victor Village, offers free Wi-Fi.

Scene
Village fit for families with kids' club and pretty pool area
Catering to both the time-share owners and the hotel guests, the Victor Village Resort has plenty to do for families, and a lot of guests come to the resort with their kids.

The big pool area has lounge chairs and parasols as well as shaded seating areas with tables is in a pretty setting surrounded by grassy lawns dotted with palm trees.
Location
Direct beach access via a nature reserve
The hotel is next to a nature reserve and a path runs through the pine forest to the local beach, which can also be reached via the hotel shuttle. It’s a 12-minute drive to the center of Torre San Giovanni, and a 35-minute drive from both Gallipoli -- an active fishing port with several dining options -- and Santa Maria di Leuca, on the southernmost tip of the Salento peninsula. The Galatina Airport is just under an hour away by car.
