Given its small size, accommodations are primarily located in the historic center or surrounding rural farmhouses. Staying in the center allows for easy walking access to local amenities, while peripheral options offer greater tranquility and are better suited for guests with rental cars.
There is no direct airport connection. Travelers must first arrive at nearby airports such as Lecce (LCC) or Brindisi (BDS), then transfer via train or rental car. The town itself is compact and easily navigable on foot.
Spring and autumn offer mild weather ideal for outdoor exploration. Summer can be hot but features vibrant local festivals. Winter is quieter, providing a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation and cultural immersion.
This 19C palazzo renovated in modern style serves fish and seafood, including raw dishes, with fish displayed in a cabinet in the dining room. Among the desserts, the vanilla ice-cream is a classic favourite!
