B&B Tenuta Letizia welcomes guests in a farmhouse from the early 20th century, located in the heart of southern Salento and surrounded by thousands of ancient olive trees. The fragrance of the Mediterranean scrub and the proximity to the sea create an authentic experience, marked by the slow pace of the countryside and the warm hospitality typical of Salento.

The establishment features three carefully decorated rooms, equipped with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and access to outdoor areas complete with kitchen facilities, a wood-burning oven, a barbecue, and tables for al fresco dining. The barrel vaults, traditional furnishings, and rural details evoke the charm of Salento's historic homes, now combined with modern comforts and attentive cleanliness and hospitality.

In the morning, guests start their day with a hearty breakfast made from genuine products: homemade pastries, organic jams, and freshly picked fruit. Upon request, lunch and dinner can be enjoyed at the farmhouse, featuring traditional dishes prepared with local ingredients, homemade pasta, and farm-fresh produce.

Tenuta Letizia is also a working farm that produces cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, wine, fruit, vegetables, and pickles, which are available during the stay and for sale, allowing guests to take home the authentic flavors of Salento. Ample outdoor spaces, a shaded gazebo, a hammock, and four hectares of olive groves provide opportunities for walking, relaxing, and fully experiencing nature.

Just a few kilometers away are the stunning beaches of Torre Mozza and the coastal areas of Ugento, ideal for alternating the tranquility of the countryside with the allure of the sea. Tenuta Letizia offers a genuine retreat for those seeking peace, delicious food, and the pleasure of feeling welcomed like family.

Tenuta Letizia

Area Campagna

The B&B Tenuta Letizia is located in Gemini, a small district of Ugento, in the heart of southern Salento. The area is characterized by lush countryside, where vast stretches of ancient olive trees alternate with Mediterranean scrub, providing glimpses of great charm and an atmosphere of true tranquility. The beautiful beaches of Torre Mozza and the Ugento coastline, known for their fine sand, crystal-clear waters, and dunes that preserve an unspoiled natural environment, are just a short distance away.

In addition to the sea, the region boasts a rich historical and cultural heritage. Ugento, with its Messapian origins, holds archaeological evidence and a lively historic center filled with churches, ancient buildings, and small shops. Nearby are the renowned locations of Santa Maria di Leuca, the southernmost point of Salento where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet, and Gallipoli, the "pearl of the Ionian" with its seaside village.

The location is also perfect for exploring the Salento inland, with towns characterized by white alleys, bright squares, and vibrant traditions. The patronal festivals, local fairs, and the music of pizzica invite you to immerse yourself in the local culture, while the trails through vineyards and olive groves allow you to enjoy the region's typical products, from extra virgin olive oil to robust wines.

Staying at Tenuta Letizia means experiencing Salento in all its facets: the beauty of the sea, the power of nature, the warmth of traditions, and the authenticity of a land that offers emotions in every season.
