Sandwiched between the Adriatic in the north and the Ionio in the south, the Italian region of Puglia boasts around 800km of coastline, as well as centuries-old castles and fairytale-like towns and villages offering a window into the past of this southeast region.

Culturally rich with a tumultuous past, the heel of Italy is said to be one of the most beautiful and enchanting regions in the country. Known for its vast coastline, Puglia boasts whitewashed villages with pretty cobbled streets, and pristine sands that meet the clear blue of the Adriatic Sea. Fall in love with the hauntingly beautiful medieval towns as you meander down the ancient streets or relax to the sound of the waves as they fall on the shore.

You’ll be staying close to the coastal town of Otranto, home to the striking 15th century Aragonese Castle and 11th century Otranto Cathedral with rose-tinted windows and beautifully ornate mosaic flooring. 

During your five-night break, we’ll be putting you up at the Dolmen Sport Resort which is the perfect destination for a holiday in Salento both as a family and as a couple. Far from the hustle and bustle of seaside tourism, it is surrounded by the cool heat of a lush olive grove. Guests can alternate pleasant stops at the sea and excursions in the surrounding area or spend the days between the pool and the bar, entertained by the fantastic entertainment staff, or choose the regenerative life path that runs through the entire structure.
