The Salento is a land that wins the heart of anyone who visits it. Here, golden beaches alternate with breathtaking cliffs, while the crystal-clear sea paints every landscape with turquoise hues. Places like Gallipoli, the Baia dei Turchi and Porto Selvaggio are true paradises for those seeking relaxation and unspoilt beauty. Strolling through the historic centres, the charm of the Baroque and the liveliness of the alleyways transport you back in time. For food and wine lovers, the Salento is a feast for the palate. From the intense flavours of pasticciotto and frise con pomodoro to the unmistakable wines, every meal is a journey into the authentic tastes of tradition.

In the heart of Salento, Taviano stands out as a little-known gem, but one rich in charm and authenticity. Known as the ‘City of Flowers’ for its historical floricultural vocation, Taviano is a place where traditions, nature and hospitality intertwine in a perfect balance. A few kilometres from the crystal-clear sea of the Ionian coast, Taviano offers an ideal starting point for exploring iconic beaches such as Mancaversa, a seaside resort that offers tranquillity and enchanting landscapes.
