Castello di Caprarica and its staff were brilliant. The food and wine in the local area was as promised and fantastic. Thanks for everything.

Our castle in Puglia was superb on every level, could not recommend it more highly for a large group or family holiday.

The house manager at Casetello di Caprarica was amazing. She was thoughtful, helpful and great fun. Her team were excellent and friendly. They made our stay really comfortable and memorable. We were provided with some first class meals by the in-villa cooks while we were at the Castello.

The castle was everything we had hoped it would be and was a truly memorable experience. We would love to return.

Castello di Caprarica was fantastic. What stood out was its grandness.

We had a wonderful experience at Castello di Caprarica and made great memories for our family. It was great to be able to bring all our family together. The children were safe in the courtyard, the accommodation was nice and private. And we enjoyed the historical setting.

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!
