A peaceful oasis by the sea in Salento
Set in the beautiful landscape of Salento, Tenuta Nonno Carmine is a charming retreat where the tranquility of nature meets the beauty of the coast. Surrounded by greenery, mature trees and a beautifully maintained garden, the property offers a peaceful atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of an Italian seaside escape.
One of the greatest highlights is its location. The sea is a short, pleasant walk away, and within a few minutes you can be beside crystal-clear water and sandy shores. It is an ideal base for relaxed beach days and for exploring the coastline, with both lively beach clubs and quieter stretches of sand nearby.
Returning from the sea, guests retreat into the green surroundings of the tenuta. The garden is one of the property's defining features: a natural oasis for breakfast beneath the trees, a hammock in the shade or a quiet moment with a book. Rooms are spacious, bright and thoughtfully maintained, and several open onto private or semi-private outdoor areas.
Breakfast, served in the garden, focuses on fresh local flavours - homemade cakes, pastries and quality regional products, prepared with care according to guests' preferences. On request the family also cooks homemade dinners rooted in Salento tradition.
At the heart of the experience is the genuine hospitality of the family who runs the property, always ready to help or to recommend beaches, restaurants and farms nearby. For couples, families and independent travellers alike, Tenuta Nonno Carmine offers comfort, nature, hospitality and the sea just minutes away.
