Farm-house Fontanelle

Description rooms

We are pleased to host you in 9 double bedrooms with bathroom, designed in detail and with love, equipped with all comforts and created from the restructuring of spaces that historically served the farmhouse: the master oven, the agricultural tool shed, the manure pit and the stable. To better welcome you in the Land of Otranto, immersing you in its fascinating history, we have furnished our rooms with a theme, designing each one different, and drawing inspiration from the characters who were likely the protagonists of the Turkish conquest of Otranto, as the writer Maria Corti represented them in 1962 in her masterpiece The Hour of All. We imagined that these historical adventurers, the fishermen, the king, the captain and the soldiers returned to live in our era, a few meters from that same beach that tells their legend. Each room, therefore, contains and conveys a different emotion and atmosphere: choose the one that belongs to you most!

Description Fontanelle

Fontanelle is an agriturismo by the sea, a few kilometres from Otranto on the northern stretch of the coast. It stands in countryside where olives, cereals, pulses, fruit and vegetables are grown.

Each room measures about 14 square metres and also has an outdoor space, where you can rest in contact with nature.

From the property you can reach the Baia dei Turchi, a very well-known beach, on foot or by bicycle. The route runs through the pine wood and takes about ten minutes, covering 800 metres.

Surroundings (Otranto)

Salento welcomes its visitors with an atmosphere of continuous celebration, offering plenty of opportunities for entertainment and cultural enrichment. The Alimini Lakes, places of botanical and wildlife interest where you can rent canoes and enjoy horseback excursions, are just 1 km from the property (perfect by bicycle). Not far away you'll find the festivals and patron saint celebrations in the charming villages of Grecìa Salentina. A visit to Otranto is a must: the Castle with its art exhibitions, the Cathedral with its magnificent floor mosaic, the historic centre where you can shop among the narrow streets; and also the Palascìa Lighthouse, which marks Italy's easternmost point, with the former bauxite quarry nearby, featuring a stunning "green lake".
