LeTagghjate, elegant rooms and suites in San Giorgio Ionico
LeTagghjate is a bed and breakfast with rooms and suites in San Giorgio Ionico, in Apulia, in the province of Taranto. It has balconies, air conditioning, a generous breakfast and private parking. I would choose it for families, couples and those travelling for a wedding or work who want a clean, comfortable base near Taranto.

Where LeTagghjate is and how to get there
LeTagghjate is in San Giorgio Ionico, in the province of Taranto, on Via Giovanni Pascoli. Guests describe the town as quiet and tidy, a few minutes from Taranto, Grottaglie and the sea. It is a residential area, not a holiday resort.
The location is handy by car. According to the property's details, Taranto Sotterranea is about 12 km away, the MArTA about 14 km and Brindisi-Casale airport about 63 km. One review also mentions the clear waters of nearby Pulsano. You need a car, but everything is a short drive away.
What the rooms and suites are like
You sleep here in modern, air-conditioned rooms and suites, each with a private balcony. Guests talk about good-quality furnishings, spacious spaces and a lot of care. For me the point is that it feels like a place that has been thought through, with attention to every detail.
- The essentials. Flat-screen TV, minibar, fridge and coffee machine in the room.
- The bathroom. With a bidet and toiletry set. One review praises the very large shower and the hairdryer.
- Facilities. Free WiFi throughout, private parking and a garage that one guest describes as large. A lift is also mentioned.
- Breakfast. Very generous, served on the veranda, with brioche, jams and pod coffee in the room.
What guests like most
On Google it has 5 out of 5 from 67 reviews, a score you rarely see. In the reviews I read, the main theme is cleanliness, described by several guests as spotless, followed by the new and well-kept furnishings.
The second pillar is the owner. Several people describe her as kind and always available, even before arrival. A family with two small children says someone made the beds every morning, brought fresh water and coffee, and made them feel like guests rather than customers. Another family was allowed to keep their room past check-out to spend their last day at the beach. For travellers with children, some reviews also mention Netflix and sweets at reception.
What to know before you book
I did not find criticism in the reviews that reached me, and a full 5 deserves some caution. Here are the points I would think about.
- It is not by the sea. The beach is reachable by car, for example towards Pulsano, but it is not right at the door.
- The town is calm. If you are looking for local bars and evening life within walking distance, you will not find it here. It is a quiet location.
- The name suggests luxury. The listing describes elegant rooms, but it is still a B&B, without an in-house restaurant.
Many reviews are about stays of a couple of days linked to weddings, so if you stay longer, check the everyday services first.
Who it suits
I would recommend it to families and couples who want cleanliness and modern comfort, to those coming to the area for a wedding or work, and to anyone who likes to return in the evening to a quiet place that is easy to reach by car.
It is not the right address if you want a hotel on the seafront or a historic centre to explore on foot. It is a practical, tidy and welcoming base for exploring Taranto, Grottaglie and the coast.
