Cava Li Santi Residence  

On Puglia’s Salento coast in Nardò, minutes from Santa Maria al Bagno Beach and the protected Porto Selvaggio reserve. Steps from the Ionian Sea, Santa Caterina Harbor and local landmarks like Torre dell'Alto and the Museo della Memoria e dell'Accoglienza. A pet-friendly, family- and group-friendly base for exploring beaches and nature.

Carved into a Salentine quarry, the residence shows rocky walls studded with ancient shell fossils and sits amid 4,500 sqm of Mediterranean vegetation — olive trees, prickly pears and herbs. The property offers 14 guestrooms and a mix of studios and two-room apartments (various occupancies). Units feature kitchens with full-sized refrigerators and stovetops, private furnished patios, flat-screen TVs, microwaves and rainfall showers; daily housekeeping keeps things easy.

A generous shared pool (about 18 x 11 m) with waterfall, relaxation area, outdoor showers and an additional outdoor pool set the scene. Rent a bicycle, grab tour/ticket assistance, or chill in the picnic and barbecue areas. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking are onsite — perfect for wake-up sea-breeze mornings before beach runs.

Complimentary wireless internet is available throughout. Onsite conveniences include laundry facilities, a vending machine and free self parking. Transfer service and multilingual staff make group logistics simple.

No formal restaurant on site, but apartments have full kitchens and there's a barbecue/picnic area for DIY meals. Easy to shop nearby for fresh seafood and regional ingredients to cook in your unit.
