Location

The accommodation is perfectly located in the Apulian hamlet of Castrignano del Capo, in the Salento area. Just a 6-minute drive from Santa Maria di Leuca and its amazing beaches, known as the Maldives of Salento for their beauty. In the small town of Castrignano you will find shops, restaurant and markets, in a quieter atmosphere than that found in Santa Maria di Leuca in the summer months. Santa Maria di Leuca has much to offer. The town stands on the southernmost tip of the Salento peninsula, where the Adriatic merges with the Ionian Sea. With its lighthouse and churches, typical narrow streets and glimpses of the sea, Leuca has fascinated travellers for centuries.

Around Castrignano and Leuca, you will discover a land of Mediterranean scrub, pine forests and olive groves, bathed by the marvellous Salento sea. Do not miss a day on one of the idyllic beaches of the area – including Felloniche, Posto Vecchio, Torre Vado and Pescoluse – famous all over the world.
