Porto Cesareo: The Caribbean In Italy?

Italy is a beautiful place to holiday and the south of Italy, in, boasts hot summers and plenty of excellent beaches. For seaside and sun getaways, it's undoubtedly the best part of the country to head to.

However, if you are looking for a quasi-tropical destination in Italy, then you need to find a vacation rental in Apulia and make your way to the exceptionally beautiful town and comune of Porto Cesareo in the province of Lecce, in the heart of the Terra d’Arneo. This area has stunningly, impossibly azure crystal clear waters and powdery white beaches and feels like you somehow accidentally stumbled into the Caribbean...how magical does that sound?

If you’re searching for an Italian holiday destination that lies off the beaten tourist track then why not book a gorgeous villa rental in Porto Selvaggio in Apulia for a week or two!

Water lovers will be in paradise here as the intimate beach of Porto Selvaggio is crystal clear and further out, full of colourful marine life to observe in a scuba diving or snorkelling expedition!

Porto Selvaggio is an ideal spot to visit any time of year, especially if you wish to escape into the midst of nature.

Among the incredible properties that we have to rent, there are many that are unique or interesting. In some cases they have particular features, locations or views to recommend them but some of the properties themselves are the stars of the show.

Some of the most stunning are our historic vacation rentals. These properties have character to spare, tales to tell and photogenic moments aplenty.

They are the perfect location for weddings, truly once-in-a-lifetime holidays for history buffs and seriously luxurious getaways. Here are just ten of our favourites and they really are beauties.

The region of Apulia is filled with lots of charming little coastal settlements and, among them, the cute seaside town of Avetrana is a lesser-known gem. You can't find any tourist pages about it in English and it is not particularly primed for tourism, in general but this is a bonus rather than something that detracts from its charms. It is an authentic place, well off the beaten tourist path, and remains largely untouched by the outside world. You won't find endless things to see and do but you will discover an incredibly pretty town to have a wander around, some great beaches, and some surprises along the way. If you have found a vacation rental in Apulia and are looking for somewhere to spend a day, it is a great place to escape from real life for a little while and fall in love with the coastal Italian way of life...

The town of Gallipoli on the Apulia coastline literally translates as ‘Beautiful City’ from its original Greek name.

If you come to visit, you’ll see why it’s so deserving of this description! Situated on the west coast of the Salento peninsula, Gallipoli is divided into two parts; the old town centre and the more modern developed section.

Gallipoli is actually built on an island which is connected to the mainland by a 16th century bridge. Historic sites in Gallipoli include the 14th century walls built by the Spaniards which were once reinforced by twelve lookout towers.

Lecce is a city famous for its stunningly ornate Baroque architecture in its charming historic centre. Among the beautiful buildings that account for this distinct Baroque heritage, the Basilica of Santa Croce stands out as one of the most strikingly lovely examples. A master class in sculpture with an elaborately appointed exterior and a grand interior, it is a place where you could easily spend hours walking around and taking in all of the detail. Certainly, for those who book a villa in Apulia and who are exploring Lecce, it is a must-see attraction that will reward visitors with truly breath-taking beauty and a fascinating history.

The origins of the Basilica of Santa Croce go back to the 14th century, when Walter VI, Count of Brienne, founded a monastery on the site. In 1549, construction of the church began, making use of neighbouring sites that had been acquired, including from the homes of Jewish inhabitants who had been ousted from the city 39 years previously. The building was not finished, however, until 1695, almost 150 years later, with various parts completed piecemeal.
