Salento around Bagnolo
A short list of places we always recommend to our guests, just a few minutes' drive from the courtyard.
Otranto
The historic centre facing the Adriatic, with its Aragonese castle and the cathedral's medieval mosaic floor.
Santa Maria di Leuca
The very tip of Italy's heel, where the Ionian and Adriatic seas meet, with its lighthouse and sanctuary.
Santa Cesarea Terme
Liberty-style villas perched above the sea, and the famous sulphur spas set in natural caves.
Gallipoli
The old town sits on an island linked to the mainland, with an Angevin castle rising straight from the sea and streets that open onto the Ionian.
Lecce
The "Florence of the Baroque": churches and palaces carved from Lecce stone, papier-mâché workshops and elegant piazzas.
Castro and the Zinzulusa Cave
A fortified village above the sea, home to one of Italy's most spectacular karst caves.
Porto Cesareo
Shallow, clear water protected by a marine reserve, with a 16th-century watchtower and small islands just steps from the shore.
Alimini Beach
White sand, fragrant pine woods, and calm, crystal-clear water like a tropical paradise.
Porto Miggiano
A narrow bay between tall white rock walls, with some of the clearest turquoise water on the coast. It can be reached on foot, down a staircase carved into the rock.
