Masseria Nacrilli can be found in the heart of the Salento countryside, betwixt and between the lively resorts of Otranto and Gallipoli on the south Italian coast. The nearest international airport is in Brindisi, a scenic hour and a half drive to your holiday home. The small town of Scorrano, known for its Baroque architecture will supply you with all the provisions you will need to cater for your holiday. The nearby larger town of Maglie is noted for its celebrations of festivals and events.

The nearest and best beaches are a seventeen kilometre drive away in Otranto, most notably Baia dei Turchi for its white sandy beaches, Torre dell’Orso for its limestone stacks, Pescoluse for its clear blue waters, and Porto Cesareo, with a marine reserve, sandy shores, and rocky coves. Whilst you are there visit Otranto Cathedral, a medieval masterpiece with mosaic floors, discover the Castello with a defective fortress and prison, explore the old town with its narrow winding streets filled with charming shops and cafes, take a boat tour along the coastline, and end the day feasting on sea food by the sea shore.

Go west to Gallipoli, where you can wander through the old town, climb the castle for panoramic views, bathe on the many beautiful beaches, visit the Underground Olive Press Museum, have lunch in the fish market, all aboard for a boat trip and a day swimming and snorkelling, and in the evening dance until dawn at a waterfront bar and club. If you are lucky enough to be there in August don’t miss the Sant’Agata Feast, with processions, music, and fireworks.
