Leone De Castris Wine Hotel  

In the heart of Salice Salentino, in the Salento hinterland of Lecce. Steps from the town centre and an attached historic winery, with Porto Cesareo and Torre Lapillo beaches roughly 18 km away and Copertino Castle about 16 km out.

A wine hotel built around regional viticulture and sensory experiences. About two dozen roomy, wine-themed guest rooms are air‑conditioned and designed around estate labels, with minibars, flat-screen TVs and bathrooms that include bathtubs or showers and bidets.

Sip at a poolside bar beside the seasonal outdoor pool or unwind in a massage room and solarium; there’s even a library and bicycle rentals for local rides. The property offers free self‑parking, concierge services, car rental and can arrange transfers and excursions — pet-friendly and ideal for slow, wine‑filled stays.

Meeting and banquet facilities, a conference hall and complimentary wireless internet make it easy to mix work with tastings and territory tours.

An on‑site Ristorante and bar serve local Salento flavours paired with estate wines, plus a daily buffet breakfast (served 7:00–10:00) and room service. Expect wine-focused experiences and guided tastings thanks to the attached winery.
