Property details

Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of Southern Italy at this stylish hotel in Salento, set amid lush greenery and dreamy countryside views - includes breakfast
A frequent holiday destination for Puglia’s upper class in the early 19th century, Santa Maria di Leuca is a captivating haven located on the southernmost tip of the stunning Salento Peninsula. Boasting Art Nouveau villas, sandy beaches, and an array of historic sites, you’ll have plenty at your disposal when it comes to planning your daily activities.

The seafront promenade should be your first port of call; lined with bars and restaurants, the promenade is ideal for a delicious meal amid dazzling Adriatic Sea views. Spend your days flitting between the different beaches, from the pristine sands of Felloniche to the crystal-clear waters of Posto Vecchio, Torre Vado, and more. Explore the town’s plethora of historic sites, starting with the Basilica De Finibus Terrae. Then, head to the town’s 19th-century lighthouse - located nearby the Basilica - and ascend the 254-step staircase that’ll take you 47 metres into the sky.

If you’d prefer to marvel at Salento’s dramatic coastal landscape a bit closer to the ground, take to the seas and discover the beauty of the town’s coast via a glistening boat tour. Whatever you decide, this sun-kissed slice of Italian paradise is sure to delight.  
  • Mediterranean oasis: You’ll find the Montiro’ Hotel nestled in the heart of the Salento Peninsula, located in Puglia’s dreamy south. Set amid lush gardens and centuries-old olive trees, the hotel is surrounded by untouched nature - think five hectares of bliss and tranquillity. You’ll be within easy reach to dazzling beaches and, for those who prefer poolside relaxation over dips in the sea, the stunning swimming pool is sure to delight.

  • Stylish in Salento: The hotel’s interiors provide the perfect base for a relaxing retreat, promoting a calm and tranquil atmosphere through its neutral aesthetic and rustic-chic ambience. Traditional Trani stones, natural fabrics, and an all-in-all warm and welcoming vibe are completed by the stunning countryside vistas that rest beyond the hotel’s walls, elevated further by the plush furnishings that make for an extra-comfy stay.

  • Traditional tastes: Embark on a culinary journey filled with traditional flavours at the hotel’s divine restaurant, where a menu of delicious regional cuisine awaits. The restaurant ticks off all the qualities that make Puglian cuisine so great: healthy ingredients farmed from the land, recipes steeped in age-old tradition, and dishes defined by a concoction of flavours that will linger on your tongue for days.

How to get there

The closest airport is Brindisi Airport, located approximately one-hour-and-a-half drive away from the hotel, or just under four hours by public transport.
