Saint Rocco festival in Vitigliano: the "luminare" and the fireworks.
Everyone knows the Salento for its beautiful beaches and its views, for the goodness of local cuisine and the charm of its many traditions. But few may know that the Salento is also famous for many other aspects, which are revealed to visitors especially during the numerous festivities spread inland. We are talking about the incredible interplay of light of the illuminations, also called villas: these little colored lights which cover entire buildings as waterfalls, churches, streets and squares, forming unique settings can keep their eyes upward everyone from the largest to the smallest.

"Ho soggiornato a torre san Giovanni, marina di Ugento nella prima settimana di settembre. Il tempo ci ha permesso di andare tutti i giorni al mare e ammirare le bellezze dei paesi limitrofi. La casa è abbastanza ampia, confortevole e solare, dotata anche del servizio lavanderia indipendente.

Messapia Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the entire property. Nice rooms, pool, parking, and breakfast. There were 2 large groups staying there so they needed to figure out the dining a bit better. A group of 100 and another 35 were there so they set up for dinner for them and forgot about the other 10-12 guests but eventually ( once said we needed a place too) set up some tables outside for us."
