The Area
Il Castello di Caprarica is situated just outside the centre of the charming town of Tricase, whose baroque centre, restaurants, shops and bars (including Farmacia Balboa, a bar that is part-owned by Taylor Hackford, Oscar-winning film director and husband of Helen Mirren) just an easy stroll away. The Adriatic coast is just a quick drive away and within 10-30 minutes' drive one can be at Tricase Porto, Il Ciolo (a deep rocky inlet that's great for swimming), Marina di Novaglie (home to one of Puglia's best seafront fish restaurants), Santa Maria di Leuca and the sandy beaches of the Ionian coast.
A 45-minute drive up the scenic coast road will take you to gorgeous Otranto with its castle, beach and historic centre. Beautiful Baroque Lecce, meanwhile, is just a 50-minutes drive away and the fortified island town of Gallipoli is even closer. You won't be at a loss for things to see and do!
