Location:

Villa Cenate is perfectly positioned just outside Melissano, offering excellent road connections to Gallipoli in the north and Santa Maria di Leuca in the south.

Melissano (1.5km) is a charming town in southern Salento, known for its Byzantine-era historical center and renowned Puglian wines. It boasts excellent restaurants serving traditional cuisine in a picturesque old quarter. Nearby Taviano (4km) is famous for its olive groves, vineyards, and flower production, with a rich history and popular local dining spots.

The villa is just 8km from the Ionian coast. Torre Suda offers crystal-clear waters and a rocky shoreline, ideal for snorkelling and swimming. Further north, Baia Verde’s sandy beaches feature shallow waters perfect for families, as well as a vibrant nightlife scene. To the south, Marina di Pescoluse is often compared to the Maldives, with white sands and turquoise waters.

Across Salento, visitors can discover a mix of rocky coves and long sandy stretches, many with beach clubs offering sunbeds, parasols, and waterfront dining.

Gallipoli (17km) is a must-visit, with its historic sites, bustling market, and fantastic seafood restaurants. Lecce (55km) offers impressive baroque architecture, excellent shopping, and fascinating ruins. Other charming destinations include Specchia (22km), considered one of Italy’s prettiest towns, as well as the historic streets of Muro Leccese and Maglie, both around 30 minutes away.
