Location
About the surrounding area of Villa UlivetoWith countless beaches and incredible views over the Adriatic Sea, the Salento Peninsula is a fantastic choice for a summer holiday in Italy. The peninsula sits at the very bottom of Italy’s heel and offers visitors everything from protected parkland to bustling resort towns.
Villa Uliveto lies just a few kilometres inland from the areas gorgeous beaches and is surrounded by typically Puglian ochre coloured earth and olive trees in a landscape littered with ancient Trullo buildings and sleepy villages. Though the setting is peaceful, you will not be isolated as the nearest village Marina di Pescoluse is just 2.5km away. This small hamlet offers access to the sea, a few restaurants, a mini market and a bar. Many more amenities and attractions can be discovered in the village of Salve which is 3.5km away.
Salve is a charming hill top settlement with incredible views over its coastline which is known as “the Maldives of Salento” as the sand is so white and water so clear. The village itself is packed with historic buildings such as the imposing Palazzo Ceuli. You can also shop and dine out in the neighbouring village of Morciano di Leuca, a pit-stop on the medieval pilgrim trails with a staggering castle as its focal point. The honey-hued streets here are brimming with religious buildings and medieval architecture and there are also plenty of cafés, bakeries and bars in the village.
Patù is a small town which is 5km away from the villa. The town hails from 924 AD and is filled with historic details and monuments such as the Centropietre which is a 9th century funerary site made from 100 huge stone blocks, local legends state that the site was so large it must have been built for giants. You can visit the monument in the grounds of an ornate church filled with Byzantine art works.
In addition to these smaller villages and towns, the Salento Peninsula has a number of bigger towns and cities you can visit. One of these is Santa Maria di Leuca which is 10km away. Santa Maria di Leuca, usually just called Leuca, is a busy seaside resort with a great range of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. These amenities line the harbour and the glamourous private beach clubs on the coast. This historic town has lots to see and do in the centre, such as strolling around the fortified Basilica built in the 17th century and vistiting the famous lighthouse. There are also many coastal attractions here including the breathtaking beaches, boat trips and a collection of enchanting caves such as the Grotta del Diavolo which is known as the Devil’s Grotto due to the creepy groaning sounds which come from the cave. On the outskirts of the town, you can access the Otranto Coastal Park and nearby ancient forests for lengthy walks in the scenic landscape.
If you are happy to drive a little further for a day trip, a fantastic place to spend a day is the city of Lecce which is 70km away.
