The Area
The charming little village of Bagnolo del Salento is situated in southeast Salento just a 20-minute drive from the Adriatic coast, a selection of beaches, the historic walled fortress port of Otranto and the cliff top castle of Castro.
There are plenty of opportunities locally for exploring the historic and rural culture of this area of Salento, and many of the nearby towns such as Minervino, Melpignano, Muro Leccese, Maglie and Poggiardo are blessed with beautiful architecture, centuries-old traditions and some great trattorie.
The stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lecce and the fortified island town of Gallipoli are both easy day trips, as are the white sand beaches of the Ionian coast.
