Hotels in Salento, Italy
Salento is the heel of Italy's boot, famous for its Baroque architecture in Lecce and endless olive groves. Summers are hot and dry, perfect for swimming in the crystal-clear Ionian Sea at Porto Cesareo, while mild winters let you explore Lecce's 17th-century churches without the crowds. You can also join the summer festival circuit, where traditional pizzica folk music fills the streets of towns like Galatina.
