Nestled within an expansive garden, this rustic retreat enjoys a privileged spot on the eastern coast of Puglia. From here, it’s a short stroll to Mancarella Lido, with the Baroque town of Lecce just a fifteen-minute drive away. And while there are plenty of options for adventures, you’ll also find lots to keep you entertained at home, too. From the private pool and tennis court to the football pitch and shaded terrace, this is a great option for groups and families in search of a laid-back coastal escape. It’s worth noting the rooms and furnishings are dated, but we think most of your time will be spent outdoors, making the most of this beautiful stretch of coastline.
