We are located between Martina Franca (a beautiful town of baroque architecture and host to an annual Opera and music festival) and Ceglie Messapica (a wonderful centre for gastronomy where you can dine out at restaurants of Michelin star standards or grab a pizza).

 

However, besides the stunning architecture of the local towns, bustling markets, beautiful countryside, unspoilt beaches and wonderful food of the area, there many varied activities to enjoy.

 

These include: local wine and olive oil tours and tastings; cave tours at Castellana Grotte; an amazing museum of ancient history in the cosmopolitan port of Taranto; the Roman ruins of Egnazia and the world heritage site of Alberobello.  There are golf courses at the five star Masseria San Domenico hotel and spa at Savelletri near Fasano and at the championship course Riva dei Tessali near Taranto.

 

Many beautiful beaches and areas of more rugged coastline both on the Adriatic and Ionian coast are about 40 minutes away by car.  The public beaches are free but have limited facilities.  Alternatively, for a parking fee, you can visit the many private stretches of beach (lidos) where you can rent loungers and parasols and have access to toilets, showers and refreshments.
