Nestled among ancient olive trees and newly planted leccino varieties, Masseria Don Egidio serves as a serene and simple retreat in the heart of the Salento countryside, just minutes away from the famous beaches of Torre dell’Orso, San Foca, Roca, and Sant’Andrea. Located six kilometers from the sea and a twenty-minute drive from Lecce and Otranto, the masseria provides an authentic hospitality experience, ideal for those seeking relaxation, nature, and tradition.

The rooms, tastefully furnished with a focus on simplicity and detail, feature private bathrooms, air conditioning, mosquito nets, linens, kitchenware, and hairdryers. The expansive green areas offer the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation on loungers and deck chairs, allowing guests to breathe in the fresh countryside air. Each morning begins with a different breakfast, made with local pastries and cheeses. Dinner, available by reservation for a minimum of 15 guests, is an opportunity to rediscover the flavors of Salento cuisine, featuring simple yet historically rich dishes reminiscent of those once prepared by grandmothers.

Animal lovers will find companionship among peacocks, the little donkey Piervinci, the cow Gisella, and various farm animals. A stroll among the olive trees or some playful moments with Ugo and Filomena, the masseria's two dogs, make the stay even more authentic and engaging.

The location is perfect for exploring Salento: nearby are enchanting beaches and natural sites such as the Grotta della Poesia and the sea stacks of Sant’Andrea. Lecce and Otranto, known for their architectural beauty and the charm of their historic centers, are easily accessible by car. Masseria Don Egidio is the ideal starting point for a journey filled with flavors, the sea, and rejuvenating tranquility.

The area surrounding Masseria Don Egidio is one of the most captivating in Salento, where the countryside merges with the sea, offering breathtaking views in every direction. Just six kilometers away are some of the most famous beaches on the Adriatic coast, such as Torre dell’Orso, known for its expansive golden sands and the iconic cliffs of the Due Sorelle. Nearby, the Grotta della Poesia in Roca is one of Europe’s most enchanting natural pools, carved into the rock and surrounded by ancient legends. Sant’Andrea captivates with its sea stacks shaped by wind and water, while San Foca, with its small harbor and crystal-clear waters, provides the perfect setting for those seeking peace and quiet.

The inland area is equally rich in wonders. Melendugno, the town where the masseria is located, is a welcoming place that holds traces of history, rural culture, and folk traditions, featuring patron saint festivals, local products, and ancient stone farmhouses. From here, in just twenty minutes by car, you can reach Lecce, the capital of Baroque architecture in Puglia, with its ornate churches, noble palaces, and vibrant atmosphere, as well as Otranto, overlooking the sea, with its historic center enclosed by walls, the Cathedral featuring the famous mosaic floor, and the Aragonese Castle.

The entire region is perfect for those who enjoy alternating beach days with cultural exploration, nature hikes, or simple strolls through olive groves, charming villages, and rural landscapes. Here, Salento reveals its most authentic face, where every corner has a story to tell and every sunset leaves an unforgettable memory.
