Romantic atmosphere

Tenuta Calitre is the result of a deep affection for an authentic land, a clear sky, and scents that evoke profound emotions. Nestled in the Salento countryside, the estate is set among ancient olive trees, featuring a white stone farmhouse that elegantly and harmoniously overlooks the landscape. Here, time flows slowly, allowing one to savor each moment in a peaceful and unspoiled natural setting.

Constructed with local materials and traditional techniques, the estate evokes the ancient farmhouses of Puglia, complete with sheltered courtyards, stone arches, and the blinding white of its walls. The commitment to the environment is evident in the use of renewable energy and eco-friendly building methods, making the stay an authentic and sustainable experience. The expansive organic olive grove produces high-quality extra virgin olive oil, reflecting the region and its agricultural traditions.

Located just a few kilometers from Torre dell’Orso and Otranto, the estate serves as an ideal starting point for exploring Salento, with its crystal-clear sea, artistic towns, and villages where time seems to stand still. Guests can enjoy unique experiences, such as olive oil tastings, hiking, biking, or horseback riding excursions, as well as moments of relaxation in the tranquility of nature.

The rooms, thoughtfully decorated with attention to detail, provide an intimate and refined atmosphere. Equipped with all modern comforts, they feature air conditioning, TV, and private bathrooms with showers. Breakfast, served under the shaded porch surrounded by greenery, offers fresh and genuine products to start the day with the authentic flavors of Salento.

The spacious outdoor areas, including the courtyard and pool, invite relaxation, with equipped zones for unwinding, reading, or sharing enjoyable moments. At sunset, the garden lights up, creating a captivating atmosphere that allows guests to enjoy summer evenings late into the night.

Rooms and Rates

Every morning, guests at Tenuta Calitre can kick off their day with a hearty and wholesome breakfast, served under the porch surrounded by greenery. The menu features a variety of sweet and savory options to cater to every palate and provide an authentic experience of local flavors.

For those who enjoy a traditional Italian breakfast, there is no shortage of milk, espresso coffee – including decaf –, cappuccino, tea, barley coffee, and fruit juices, paired with seasonal fruits, yogurt, and cereals. Homemade pastries, including tarts and rustic cakes lovingly made by Mama Anna Maria, offer a wake-up call steeped in tradition. To round out the selection, there are toasted slices with butter and natural jams, perfect for those who appreciate the simplicity of genuine flavors.

For guests preferring a more substantial breakfast, the "farmer's breakfast" provides a savory alternative with fresh bread, friselle (a type of dry bread), cured meats, and local cheeses. Eggs, sourced directly from the estate, and freshly picked vegetables from our garden enhance the meal with genuine, zero-kilometer ingredients.

Whether opting for sweet or savory, every breakfast at Tenuta Calitre is a moment of delight, an opportunity to savor the quality of local products and enjoy a flavorful experience in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Area Otranto

Tenuta Calitre is located in the heart of the Salento countryside, surrounded by a landscape of ancient olive trees and Mediterranean aromas. Its strategic location allows for quick access to some of the most enchanting places in Salento, including Torre dell’Orso, Otranto, and Lecce.

Just 3 kilometers away is Torre dell’Orso, famous for its fine sandy beach and crystal-clear waters, which have been awarded the Blue Flag multiple times. Further along, Otranto captivates visitors with its historic town, the Aragonese castle, and the cathedral featuring a stunning mosaic floor. For art and culture enthusiasts, Lecce is easily accessible, offering a journey through baroque architecture, vibrant alleys, and exceptional culinary traditions.

In addition to the well-known seaside destinations, the surrounding area boasts lesser-known yet equally charming spots, such as the Alimini Lakes, San Foca, and Sant’Andrea, with its wind-sculpted cliffs. The region is ideal for nature hikes, horseback riding, and cycling trails through the Salento countryside.

Amidst the sea, history, and nature, the area surrounding Tenuta Calitre strikes a perfect balance between relaxation and exploration, where each day can become a unique experience.
