I can’t wait to go back to Villa Blanca… it was an absolutely epic vacation with family… a truly one of a kind experience! It was so beautiful, warm, lovely, big enough for our large group, so much lounge area, the most beautiful view, and amazing chef - the best meals prepared daily… One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed.

Villa Blanca is a beautiful, relaxing site with stunning views and a cool vibe! What stood out was =the ability to be together - or find a more quiet space - all in one site. The housekeeper prepared awesome meals for communal dining al fresco!

Villa Blanca is a wonderful villa! The housekeeper was wonderful and a great cook and she and the other staff went above and beyond. We had a wonderful and stress-free holiday thanks to The Thinking Traveller.

Villa Blanca was the perfect setting for our multi generational family gathering. Our time together is very rare so we are glad the villa was so special. There was space for the children to play and the pool was brilliant. There were many table tennis and table football matches! The staff were amazing, and the housekeeper treated us as if we were one of the family. Her cooking was superb. The Thinking Traveller sets the standard to which other travel companies should aspire. Thanks for such a great holiday.

Our time at Villa Blanca was truely special. The relaxed vibe of the villa and town enabled us to slow down from the moment we arrived. The friendly, welcoming staff made us feel at home and amenities were outstanding, especially the pool area. The bedroom configuration was perfect for our extended family to be together but not in each others way. We would absolutely return to Villa Blanca with our family - our children and their partners plus grandchildren. It was the perfect location in every way.

The Area
Villa Blanca is located about 2km above Santa Maria di Leuca at the southernmost tip of the Salento peninsular, where the Ionian and Adriatic seas meet. The town has long been a magnet for the wealthy classes in Puglia, who came to build lavish seaside homes here in the early 20th century. The legacy of this is a superb collection of Liberty-style buildings, plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and gelaterie, a beach, and a large marina. Guest staying at Villa Blanca can walk into town, though there is quite a steep climb back and sections of the road are without pavement.
There are many fabulous sandy beaches, coves and grottos to explore within a 10-minute drive of Leuca. These can be even better visited from the water, and it is easy to arrange boat or yacht rentals in the marina.
Within easy driving distance is delightful Baroque Lecce, the fortified island town of Gallipoli and lovely Otranto.
