Dating from the Middle Ages, the town is known for its winding streets and the Piazza Umberto I, the main square, which is always bustling with activity. The town’s history is told in the fascinating museum housed in the Palazzo Baronale. There are plenty of excellent trattoria’s where you can try to the local cuisine. For self-catering, the market takes place every Thursday morning. Here you can find the best local ingredients to cook at home.

The popular port of Otranto (15 minutes) has been inhabited for millennia. The town centre offers a taste of “La dolce vita” with a range of restaurants, cafés and ice cream parlours. To the north of Otranto, you can find some of Salento’s finest beaches, such as Baia dei Turchi (18 minutes) or Spiaggia Alimni (18 minutes). Both make excellent day trips.

The city of Lecce (25 minutes), the “Florence of the South”, is a jewel of a city and well worth a visit. Not only for its long history but also for its excellent food and good shopping.

The closest airport is Salento Airport, in Brindisi - just 1 hour and 5 minutes away by car.Please note that the pool is open from the 20th of May 2024 to the 20th of October 2024
