Location
The villa is just a 5-minute walk from the historic centre of Galatina, renowned for its magnificent churches, Baroque architecture and palaces. Guests can explore the town’s many attractions on foot with stops at one of the many cafés and bars. Not to be missed is the Ascalone pastry shop (6-minute drive), which has been serving the authentic and mouth-watering Pasticciotto Ascalone since 1740. For more delicious local food, the weekly market takes place every Thursday morning and is well worth a visit.
In the centre of the Salento peninsular, the villa is 25 to 30 minutes from either coast. The sandy beach of Santa Marina al Bagno (25 minutes) makes a wonderful day out. The port of Gallipoli (the Beautiful City), which was founded by Greek settlers thousands of years ago, is just 30 minutes away. Here you will find fascinating historical sites, ancient city walls and some of the best fish in Salento.
Lecce (30 minutes), 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 nearest airport is Brindisi, 50 minutes away.
