The house
A real house, not a hotel room
The living area puts the eat-in kitchen and the sitting room together: you cook, you lay the table for six and you drop onto the sofa without moving between floors. The sleeping area has a double bedroom and a small bedroom with two single beds.
There is a bathroom with a shower inside and, outside, an outdoor shower that ends up being the most used thing in summer. The pellet stove is ducted and keeps the whole house warm even in November.

The terrace
Where every day ends
You come back from the sea, drop the bag, climb the outside stairs and Torre Vado is all there below you: the white roofs, the coast stretching towards Pescoluse, the sea changing colour by the hour.
Breakfast happens up here with the chairs turned towards the water. In the evening a bottle gets opened and you wait for the sun to go down. It is the reason a lot of guests end up eating in rather than out.

Discover Salento
Torre Vado is where it all starts
Torre Vado
The little harbour, the square, the cafés along the seafront and the low rocks you slip into the water from. In the.
5 minutesPescoluse
The Maldives of Salento: white sand, water that stays shallow for tens of metres, and the turquoise that ends up on.
10 minutesSan Gregorio
Rocky coast, deep clear water, sea urchins and excellent fish. The right place for sunset when the beaches are too.
12 minutesSanta Maria di Leuca
Where Puglia ends and the Adriatic meets the Ionian. The lighthouse, the monumental waterfall, the nineteenth-century.
