The Area

Masseria Canali sits a few km outside the pleasant towns of Casarano, Collepasso and Parabita, all of which offer a variety of amenities, including restaurants, pizzerias, bars, cafés and shops. Less than half an hour's drive west is the historic town of Gallipoli, set on a fortified island and featuring some fabulous architecture as well as lively nightlife and some great restaurants. The delightful baroque towns of Galatina and Lecce are 20 and 40 minutes' drive away respectively and most certainly worth a visit.

In terms of beaches, the coast running north and south of Gallipoli is a little corner of paradise for lovers of sand and azure waters and there are many options, including some with exclusive lidos, within a 30-minute drive.
