Getting here
By car. From the main road towards Santa Maria di Leuca take the exit for Torre Vado. The last few kilometres are a local road in good condition. Parking is right outside the house, so the final stretch is never a problem.
By air. Brindisi airport (BDS) about 1 h 40 min (110 km); Bari airport (BRI) about 3 h (230 km).
By private transfer. A private transfer to and from Dimora Vado can be arranged when you book: it is the easiest way to arrive from the airports or the station without hiring a car. The cost is agreed case by case depending on the route — ask for a quote when you book.
By train. Lecce station, then a hire car or the Ferrovie del Sud Est line to Gagliano-Leuca.
The exact address and the instructions for collecting the keys are sent together with the booking confirmation.
