CITIES, COUNTRY TOWNS & SMALL DISCOVERIES

Beautiful places.
Everyday lives.

Beyond the beaches lies another Salento: warm stone, elegant squares and small streets that invite you to slow down. A place to belong, as well as a place to visit.

The richly carved façade of Santa Croce in Lecce
LECCE / A BAROQUE FIRST IMPRESSION

Beauty carved
in warm stone.

The façade of Santa Croce sets the scene. Beyond it, an everyday city of little streets, courtyards and welcoming squares.

LECCE / THE CULTURAL HEART

A city to explore.
A life to settle into.

Baroque façades are only the beginning. Lecce is also narrow lanes, little shops, lively squares and layers of history woven into everyday life.

A morning coffee. A walk through the old town. An evening in the piazza. Lecce gives Italian living a beautifully local expression.

COUNTRY TOWNS WITH CHARACTER

Room for a different
kind of life.

Nardò, Galatina and Maglie offer distinct settings for a Salento home — each with its own streets, squares and daily rhythm.

PIAZZAS & THE IONIAN HINTERLAND

Historic arcades and a monument in Piazza Aldo Moro, Maglie
AN INLAND ADDRESS

Maglie

A graceful town of stone façades and inviting piazzas. A setting for everyday Salento life, with the coast as an outing rather than the whole story.

CHOOSE A WAY OF LIVING

Town, village
or countryside?

A property search starts with more than a view. Walkable streets, year-round services, access to the coast and the feel of the neighbourhood all help shape the right choice.

SMALLER PLACES · LASTING IMPRESSIONS

The charm is often
in the smaller places.

Acaya, Specchia, Melpignano, Martano, Alessano and Tricase are just a few places to begin. Each has its own character; there are many more to discover across Salento.

A FORTIFIED VILLAGE

Acaya (Acaja)

A compact village of straight little streets and open stone squares, with a Renaissance fortress at its edge.

Piazza San Giorgio and its arcades in Melpignano
GRECÌA SALENTINA

SMALL STREETS & SOUTHERN CHARACTER

Quiet stone lanes and historic façades in the southern Salento. A smaller town whose appeal is found in its details, its doorways and its everyday pace.

Fishing boats and blue water in the harbour at Tricase Porto
A TOWN WITH A SEASIDE CHAPTER
