The Neighborhood
In Italy’s heel, in the glorious Salento region, Villa Prelude is situated just a five-minute walk (600m) from the coastline. Here you can hike across the shore discovering different coves and view points and join the locals swimming from the rocks or enjoying picnics looking over the crystal clear sea. The nearest beach (2km) is just a five-minute drive away or you can cycle there with the free bikes provided by the villa. There are also many glorious sandy beaches within a 10-15 minute drive. The local town is just a five-minute drive away where you can enjoy local restaurants, shops and cafes and admire its pretty squares and historic churches. A little further afield is Taviano, known for its excellent restaurants which are loved by locals. Travel slightly further afield to a beach renowned for being the Maldives of Italy – Marina di Pescoluse (22km). Its white sands and clear blue water has made it a popular destination for tourists; rent a sunbed and bask in the sun or spot sea creatures snorkelling in the ocean. Visit one of the many beachside cafes where you can order an Italian coffee or freshly-pressed juice to enjoy while gazing out at the sea. Take the hour drive to Lecce (60km) for a day full of shopping and sightseeing. The city is filled with different shops – from trendy, high-street stores to market stalls – where you can treat yourself to something special. An ancient Roman amphitheater called Centro Storico sits in the center of these shops. You’ll be bewildered by the contrast between the modern stores and the old ruins that you can walk around. There are many other hidden villages to explore both inland and across the coast as well as fascinating towns including Specchia (30km), one of Italy’s prettiest towns and the old island town of Galipoli to the north (25km). In this glorious region in the heel of Italy, with the Ionian Sea on one side and Adriatic on the other, there are miles of golden sandy beaches and stunning rocky coves to explore. Thanks to its renowned olive oil production, the region is covered with stretches of olive groves and centuries-old farmland. This, combined with white-washed towns and hundreds of kilometers of Mediterranean coastline, makes Puglia a top destination for holiday makers.
