B and B Macchia di Pele
Castro Marina, Italy

Castro is situated in the Serre Salentine and is one of the most beautiful resort of the Salento. It stands on a promontory 98 m s.l.m. between Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca, 3 km south of Santa Cesarea.

Our house, built largely with the same stone that dominates throughout the area, it seems almost confused with the land that is around, still partially intact, clear testimony to the laborious system of cultivation in terraces, which is used in many sections of the Adriatic coast between Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca.

The structure is composed of 5 rooms: 3 bedrooms, of which 2 with private bathroom and 2 double rooms. The dining room is simple and welcoming, the small but equipped kitchen overlooks it, breakfast is served in summer on the terrace facing the sea.

The house is spread over several levels and each one can admire the splendid panorama of terraces which give a fascinating view the large gulf between Santa Cesarea Terme and the port of Castro Marina. Coming down the stairs of the garden and across the coast, you arrive directly on the irregular and jagged cliff overlooking the sea, a few steps from the Zinzulusa cave.
