THINGS TO DO
The Salento region of Puglia (Apulia), in the southern tip of Italy's heel, is delightfully off the beaten tourist path. The authentic daily rhythm of Nardò will capture your heart anytime of the year. Venture out to the neighboring towns of Gallipoli and Otranto, or linger in the sophisticated baroque "Florence of the South" in Lecce. Easily accessible from the Brindisi (60 km) or Bari (170 km) airports or via a train into Lecce (30 km). The region is best explored with a car, but bikes can be rented in Nardò to pedal to the coast and through the ancient olive groves. Owners Alison and Phil will provide excellent suggestions for making the most of this magical region.
Sea, Sand & Sun
Relax on white sand beaches on a rented sun bed with a refreshing drink in hand or visit pristine public rocky coves. Sailing and snorkeling excursions add to your adventure.
Cultural & Historical Sites
With the fall of the Roman Empire came waves of conquerors - Normans, Spaniards, Greeks,
Turks - all adding to the sites and sounds of Salento.
Food & Wine
Excellent olive oil and robust wines, add to the bounty of fresh produce and seafood. Dine at Il Cubo on the rooftop terrace or savor the region's fine restaurants.
