in the vicinity of the Villa
Salento to experience,
Beauty to explore
In the area surrounding Villa Casina Baronale, you can discover the wonders of Salento. In just a few minutes, you can reach the renowned beaches of Otranto and Alimini, the splendid town of Gallipoli and the bay of Porto Cesareo, not to mention the Baroque charm of Lecce, a true city of art.
Villa
in the heart of Grecìa Salentina
La Villa Casina Baronale is steeped in the authentic charm of Carpignano Salentino, a village where time seems to have stood still amongst the alleys of the historic centre, the Ducal Palace, and the ancient Giudecca quarter. Located in the heart of Grecia Salentina, the property is the gateway to a territory that still vibrates with Byzantine heritage: the extraordinary Crypt of Santa Cristina, which houses some of the world's oldest frescoes dating back to the 10th century, is an example of this. Experiencing this area means immersing yourself in age-old traditions, the very same ones that come alive each year with the Notte della Taranta, the celebrated festival that honours the Greek-speaking language and culture of this unique land.
Adriatic Coast
of Salento
Just a few kilometres away, in the vicinity of the Villa, lies the Adriatic coast, renowned for its ‘Blue Flag’ waters. The coastline offers an extraordinary variety of landscapes: from the fine sand of Alimini and Baia dei Turchi to the spectacular cliffs of Torre dell’Orso. At the heart of this stretch of coastline lies the town of Otranto, the “Gateway to the East”, an artistic gem rich in castles, towers and historic palaces that bear witness to centuries of encounters between different cultures.

The Parks
Natural
Nei dintorni della masseria sorge il Parco Naturale di Torcito, un’oasi di macchia mediterranea. Da qui è facile esplorare anche il tratto di costa più selvaggio e incontaminato, protetto dal Parco Otranto – Santa Maria di Leuca. Questo litorale roccioso regala panorami mozzafiato e scorci di rara bellezza unica.
