Location
The villa is just 7 minutes from the historic town of Galatina, which is a hidden gem. Like Lecce (20 minutes), Galatina has a beautifully preserved Baroque town centre, with lovely churches and palaces. It is the perfect place to lose yourself for a few hours, exploring its restaurants, bars and boutiques. The weekly market takes place every Thursday morning and is well worth a visit to pick up the best and freshest local ingredients.

Although it is in the centre of the Salento peninsula, the villa is just 15 to 20 minutes from the stunning beaches such as Santa Maria al Bagno and the Lido Conchiglie, north of Gallipoli. The port of Gallipoli (the Beautiful City), which was founded by Greek settlers thousands of years ago, is 20 minutes away. Here you will find fascinating historical sites, ancient city walls and some of the best fish in Salento.

The city of Lecce, the “Florence of the South”, is famous for its wonderful Baroque architecture as well as its Roman ruins. It 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 at Brindisi - 55 minutes away by car.
