Casina dei Nonni

In the heart of Carpignano Salentino, this boutique bed & breakfast is a calm base for exploring Salento. It’s within a 15-minute drive of Corigliano d'Otranto Castle and Palazzo Baronale Capece, with Alimini Lakes, Torre Sant'Andrea and Otranto’s beaches an easy trip away.

Housed in the annex of an ancient manor refurbished in 2013, Casina dei Nonni keeps things intimate with just four air-conditioned rooms. Expect private furnished balconies or patios, refrigerators/minibars, flat-screen TVs, down comforters with Frette Italian sheets and ensuite bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries.

Rooftop terrace, wide garden and a fragrant citrus grove set the scene for slow mornings and evening drinks. Rent a bike to roam the countryside, unwind in the solarium or linger on the large porch and in the reading room. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and bike parking keep things easy.

24-hour front desk with roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge. Express check-out, luggage storage, laundry and free self parking are on site.

An on-site restaurant serves guests and there's a snack bar/deli for lighter bites. Local-cuisine breakfasts are offered daily from 8 AM to 10 AM for a fee — think simple Salento flavors to start the day.
