“Salento: the sun, the sea, the wind” so goes the local saying; a perfect synthesis to describe this strip of land between two seas: on one side, the Ionian of the Gulf of Taranto, which overlooks the North-African coast, on the other side the Adriatic, creating a bridge between east and west.
Gallipoli, Santa Maria di Leuca and Otranto are just some of the most beautiful pearls set along this coastline like precious jewels.

For most of the year the sun warms and colours the earth deep red, rich in iron and calcareous rock, while the wind, coming inland from the coast brings with it the fragrance of the sea, refreshing the summer evenings.
The territory is a result of the perfect harmony of the heat of the sun, the generosity of the sea and the steadfastness of the wind.
