The castle in the town
The early 16th-century Castello di Caprarica combines historical charm, architectural riches and contemporary comforts. Perfectly proportioned for large groups, blessed with discreet daily service, within easy walking distance of the charming centre of Tricase, and just a short drive from the Adriatic coast of the Salento, Il Castello di Caprarica has a great deal to offer.

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!

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 grounds and the swimming pool at Castello di Caprarica were excellent. The housekeeper and staff at the villa were also excellent.
