The Area
Situated in eastern Salento, just a few kilometres inland from the charming, historic seafront town of Otranto Montekore is extremely well-place for visiting all that's best about the south of Puglia.
Otranto itself has a little bit of everything, from a fine castle, a picturesque network of streets, a sublime cathedral, a sandy beach, boutiques and a host of bars, restaurants and pizzerie.
Apart from the beach of Otranto, the Adriatic coast nearby has plenty of others to try, including those of Baia dei Turchi, Spiaggia Alimini and Torre dell'Orso
The area surrounding Montekore is home to lots of lovely small towns and villages, such as Minervino, Muro Leccese and Maglie, whose old centres are blessed with beautiful architecture, independent shops and some great local trattorie.
The stunning UNESCO heritage centre of Lecce and the fortified island town of Gallipoli are both easy day trips, as are the white sand beaches of the Ionian coast.

Montekore is a very stylish villa. Lovely owner.
Verified guest, August 2022
Montekore was a spectacular and unique property. You could really feel all the care and love that the owner put into the property. The rooms and beds were beyond comfy and the fruit and veggies from her garden were otherworldly. She's a truly extraordinary hostess. We wished we could have stayed an extra week!
EB, United States of America July 2022
The owner and the staff at Montekore were wonderful and looked after us very well. They provided us with breakfast every day and little gifts of their own home made pasta.
