The Area
Sitting between the little town of Ugento and the long golden sands of Salento's southwestern coast, Casa Fernandez is well placed for discovering the myriad charms of Italy's heel. Just a few minutes' drive away are the beaches of Torre San Giovanni, Riva di Ugento, Pescoluse and Torre Vado, whose transparent, electric blue waters are truly special. There are several chic lidi where you can relax in style, have a bite to eat or a sundowner.
The charming Liberty Style resort town of Santa Maria di Leuca, with its restaurants, bars and yachting marina, is just a 25-minute drive away, while the fascinating fortified island town of Gallipoli is similarly close by.
Slightly further afield, but still within easy striking distance, is the beautiful baroque masterpiece of Lecce and the east-facing Adriatic gem of Otranto.
Salento is also home to many charming, off-the-beaten-track towns and villages tucked away in the gentle countryside. Each one has its own particular character, history, gastronomic specialities and we highly recommend you visit a few.
