Location
The villa is ideally located on the western side of the famous coastal spa resort of Santa Cesarea Terme, with its thermal baths and fascinating caves. There are some lovely beaches nearby including the cove of Porto Miggiano (7-minute walk) and Bagno Marino Archi (4-minute walk). The town’s natural thermal baths attract visitors from across Italy and beyond. They are open from May to the end of November.

The weekly market is held every Thursday morning. Here you can find the best local produce to cook at home. Otherwise, there are many excellent restaurants and pizzerias, as well as a dizzying range of ice-creams.

Not to be missed is the city of Lecce (40 minutes drive), known as the “Florence of the South” and blessed with wonderful Baroque architecture as well as 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 over an hour away by car.
