Location
The villa is on the outskirts of the historic town of Galatina, which is a hidden gem. Like Lecce (30 minutes away) Galatina has a beautifully preserved Baroque town centre, with lovely churches and palaces. It is a beautiful place, where you can lose yourself for a few hours, exploring its restaurants, bars and boutiques. The town is famous as the birthplace of the delicious Puglian dessert of Pasticciotto. 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 peninsula, the villa is 30 minutes from either coast. The sandy beach of Santa Catarina al Bagno (28 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.
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 - just 1 hour away by car.
