Property details

Peace and serenity on the coast of Italy’s boot, at a calming resort an hour from Lecce - includes breakfast, one dinner, spa access and more
  • A fresh take on serenity: Located on a leafy street just a short walk from the Ionian Coast, Giardino dei Pini is an ideal mix of quiet countryside and ancient wonder. This is small-town Italy at its finest, with charming local restaurants all around and plenty to explore further afield - that is, unless you’d rather sun yourself by the hotel’s large pool, or on the nearby beach.

  • R&R: Colour schemes are whitewashed and calming, with neutral tones that blend in with endless plantlife. Contemporary accommodations are homely yet luxurious, the perfect spot to kick back in. If you want to up the relaxation, look no further than the spa, which is for private-use only. Sit back in the sauna, floating tub or Turkish bath, and revitalise with a trip through the Kneipp path and a selection of treatments.

  • Gourmet dining: Amaranta Restaurant is a place of old-world elegance, where dining will feel like a treat. Your day begins with a fresh, homemade breakfast on the terrace or on your own patio, then continues through lunch and dinner with local food beautifully plated that will take you on a culinary journey.

Location and what's nearby

Giardino dei Pini, Strada Provinciale 266, 73040 Alliste LE, Italy

In the south of Puglia, the region which forms Italy’s ‘boot’, life is slow-moving and calm. Ancient cities rub shoulders with blissful beaches, whitewashed hill towns and sprawling farm land. Your nearest beach, with twinkling turquoise waters and rocky outcrops, is just a 10-minute walk away, and there are plenty more up and down the coast - easily explored if you hire a car. Further afield, you’ve Lecce, with its elaborate churches and piazzas that will take you back in time. Be sure to visit Santa Maria di Leuca, too, a charming old-world town that forms the lowest point of the ‘boot’, and whose most scenic spots will have you gazing out across the Ionian Sea.
