This charming city boasts a fascinating Baroque flair, mainly in the Piazza del Duomo Square, which houses the historic 12th-century cathedral.

The watchtowers around Salento

The coast of Salento is speckled with numerous fascinating watchtowers, originally built in the 16th century to fend off pirates.

Try the mouthwatering pasticciotto

Visit one of the many cafés in Lecce’s Piazza Sant’Oronzo and relish this scrumptious mix of rustic pastry and creamy custard.

The harbour-town of Otranto

This pretty harbour town houses the 12th-century cathedral, famous from its mosaic-covered floors, and the Aragonese Castle, now a modern art space.

Punta della Suina Beach

Surrounded by a pine forest, the crystal-clear waters, fine sand and stunning views of historic Gallipoli make this beach a perfect paradise.

FAQs about hotels in Salento

A Magic Southern Jewel

Comprising the south part of Italy’s Region of Puglia, the Salento peninsula is located in the ‘heel’ of the Italian ‘boot’. With an unusual and beautiful landscape, it also has traditions shaped by explorers and invaders from a variety of cultures that reached its coasts.

If Salento is a jewel, the main piece is definitely the city of Lecce. Its walled historic centre is greatly admired for the uniqueness of its Baroque style. It also has a Roman theatre and a Greek amphitheatre, both still in use. Try a hotel in Lecce’s old town and go back in time!

Blessed with the waters from the Ionian and the Adriatic seas, its rocky coves and small sandy inlets contrast with the light blue waters. Popular beach hotels in Puglia’s Salento region are located near the Alimini Lakes and the Portoselvaggio Bay.

Other important coastal areas are Porto Cesareo, Torre dell'Orso, Santa Maria di Leuca and Santa Cesarea Terme. Gallipoli and Otranto deserve a visit not only for their beaches, but also because of their beautiful historic centres, mostly shaped during the Aragonese domination of the area.

It was so lovely everything being single storey. Such a sense of space and escape. The food was so great. Some of the buffet can be a bit underwhelming, but when you figure out which of the counters to go to for the best food, you're on to a winner. The speciality stall at lunch was incredible. The apertivo times were so good. Such amazing variety. And to cook pasta on mass and still be brilliantly at dente is super impressive. The flavours were amazing, the olive oil available for the tables was so delicious. The staff were all so lovely and accommodating. The kids club and the entertainment activities were so much fun. The beach is small but paradise. The main pool is amazing. Always more than enough sunbeds and umbrellas, and an excellent temperature.

Me and my boyfriend stayed for a long weekend in May at this beautiful, truly private, magical place and we had the best time. The people, especially the host, Adriano, were extremely kind, warm and welcoming, it was hard to leave. The property is stunning, a dreamy place with history, the rooms we saw (we had to switch at some point) were very classy and beautiful. The perfect place to charge batteries, also, incredible food. I am absolutely thrilled and will hopefully be able to come back some time!

We holidayed with a baby and I want to say that this is an ideal place for a holiday with children. Very good food, great choice of dishes, everything is fresh, great choice of desserts.

Breakfast is divine. A healthy selection of fruit, yogurt, juices and the most inviting selection of pastries. I loved the grounds and patios - so beautifully decorated with large pottery urns overflowing with blossoms. I loved listening to the bees buzzing and the birds singing when I first wake up of a morning and seeing all the colourful blossoms - particularly the brilliant bougainvilleas.

Fantastic Archaeological museum with fabulous ceramics, some of the best from earliest civilisations, well displayed with good lighting and English translations for general info and for each item. Worth going to Taranto just for that. Castle and very small island old city with very narrow laneways and good restaurants and the cathedral which is beautiful. Local buses work well and many from train station which is good as taxis not there at all.

If you like exploring a city by walking, it's an excellent choice for you. You are within 10-15 minutes walk to most sites of interest in Brindisi if you stay in the historical centre. And it's a good base to use for visiting the surrounding area..Lecce, Oria, Otranto, etc. I especially enjoyed walks around the harbour and taking a ferry across to the Monument to the Sailor, having a coffee & pastry at Valentino Café just behind the monument.

This is an ancient Italian small town that has experienced a revival. Most of the residents are Italians (unlike other towns in the area which are mostly tourist accommodation). There are many excellent restaurants and bars within walking distance and a very impressive Roman museum. I recommend a walk or cycle in the surrounding countryside (as many residents do). It's also a great place to explore Puglia as it is about an hour to Lecce, Cisternino and Gallipoli.

Cisternino itself is a very lovely cittadina and ideally placed to visit all the towns around such as Ostuni, Ceglie M, Alberobello (although this is like Disneyland), Locorotondo, M. Franca, Monopoli and Putignano, or even Bari. It's also not far from Salento which I combined with this trip and did Lecce, Otranto, Oria, Gallipoli, Castro, S. Maria di Leuca. It is also only just over an hour to Matera which should not be missed and a unique town very much worth the time and kms. There are plenty of restaurants in Cisternino and for your morning coffee e brioche don't miss going to Vignola History or visit the panificio Vignola for a delicious freshly made panino and other treats that will put plenty of padding on the hips.

It’s a gem.

It’s a gem. Get up to the historic centre like the other main towns and you’ll find a relaxed oasis of sights, sounds and tastes. Great places to eat and drink. The sort of place where apéro starts whenever you fancy! White stone streets and a real feeling of joy. In the countryside and olive groves, the trulli cones pop up and they’re an absolute revelation. I loved my stay, will be back for more and couldn’t recommend it enough.
