Hidden away in the heel of Italy’s boot, the Puglia region is one of the country’s best kept secrets. Acting as a gateway to unspoiled beaches, historic towns, neverending olive groves and coastal scenery, Otranto gazes out across the strait towards the Balkans and Greece, steeped in history as testified by the beautiful Romanesque architecture. As far as rural Italian escapes go, you can’t get much better than the Borgo Sentinella, allowing you to step back in time and rediscover rural Italy, with a few modern touches. This charming boutique property was transformed from two traditional farms, occupying a whitewashed masserie with a swimming pool, rustic rooms and endless opportunities for exploring the surrounding natural beauty.
With its strategic hilltop position giving way to sea views, just two minutes from one of Puglia’s most picturesque beaches and the charming towns that make up Salento, the Borgo Sentinella’s location is to die for. Torre dell’Orso boasts a Blue Flag thanks to its clear waters and pretty pine forest. Combine this with the absolute tranquillity and rustic features of an old Italian farmhouse, and Mediterranean gardens with an enticing pool, and allow yourself to breathe in the dreamy atmosphere of rural Italy where time has been forgotten.
As you approach the typical Apulian masserie, take in the creamy exposed stone and shuttered windows. Enjoy the calming sea views as you sit under the shade of an olive tree in the garden with a welcome drink, and instantly feel your mind put at ease and spirits revived as you begin to witness the warm hospitality that this part of Italy is renowned for.
Sip a cocktail or two at the bar as you watch the sun set over the Adriatic each evening, then retire to your room, furnished in traditional Italian design with airy windows and rustic decor including polished stone, olive-green shutters, hand-carved headboards and beamed ceilings. Wake up to the gentle sea breeze and sunlight beaming through your window, and delight in breakfast in the dining area each morning.
Whether you choose to spend your day hiking in the beautiful nature, gorging on culture as you explore the baroque buildings and pretty piazzas of nearby Lecce or seeking the sun on the silver sands of Torre dell'Orso beach, rest assured that the characterful Borgo Sentinella will welcome you with open arms.
