Location
The villa is in the small town of Torre Specchia Ruggieri, just 7 minutes up the coast from the resort of San Foca. It is just 50 meters from the lovely Orso Beach with fine golden sand and pristine sea. Local amenities, shops, restaurants and bars are all within 5 minutes drive from the villa.

The peaceful town of Melendugno (13 minutes) makes a lovely day out. There are some interesting churches, as well as a 12th-century abbey, a small castle and several excellent restaurants. The weekly market (Wednesday) is a source of the best local ingredients to cook at home.

Further afield is Lecce (25 minutes), the “Florence of the South”. It is blessed with wonderful Baroque architecture as well as Roman ruins. It is a jewel of a city and well worth a visit. Not only for its long history but also for its excellent food and good shopping.

To get into nature the WWF nature reserve of Le Cesine is just 8 minutes from the villa. Or for golfers, there are 2 golf clubs near the town of Acaya (10 minutes)

The closest airport is at Brindisi - just an hour away by car.
