Experience wonderful Salento: The sea, history, and art all within reach from Lu Cantoru
Salento, an enchanting land kissed by the sun and the Mediterranean sea, offers its visitors not only breathtaking beaches but also a rich historical and artistic heritage.
From the B&B Lu Cantoru, located in a privileged position, you can easily reach the most famous places in Salento.
Pescoluse is one of the most beautiful locations in all of Salento. Its crystal clear sea and white sand beaches make it a popular tourist destination.
The coast of Salento is dotted with numerous watchtowers dating back to the sixteenth century, among which the Torre di Masseria Borgino stands out. Then there are the characteristic dry stone houses, called “pajare”, which are scattered among the centuries-old olive groves of the area.
The Salento coast is full of karst phenomena and caves, including the famous Grotta Zinzulusa in Castro. Many other smaller caves can be found on the Ionian and Adriatic side, such as the Grotta delle Tre Porte and the Cala dell’Elefante, located in the Tricase area, which can be visited by boat.
