Il Giardino Grande is an oasis of peace located in the hinterland of Salento, a short distance from the elegant city of Gallipoli and the golden beaches of the Ionian Sea. This historic country house - once the summer residence of the aristocratic family of Parabita - has been restored down to the smallest detail, retaining its charm and refined design.
The 'dimora' is built with creamy white local limestone and is characterized by harmonious architectural lines, impressive vaulted ceilings, designer furniture, refined fabrics, and warm colors on the walls. There are 6 rooms for two people, two of which can be connected to form a family room. Some rooms have a spacious panoramic terrace overlooking the greenery.
The hotel is surrounded by wonderful gardens with 200 olive trees and local plants that give an incredible charm to the place. A daily breakfast is served in the intimate “secret garden” with a selection of fresh local produce and cakes. The swimming pool is the ideal place to relax during the hot summer days, surrounded by an enchanting nature and with the service to order drinks from the bar throughout the day. Inside the restored church with its old altar and vaulted ceilings, you can read in peace or relax with a cup of coffee.
If you want to discover the area, Il Giardino Grande offers authentic experiences from boat trips along hidden coves and wine tastings to cultural tours and sporting outings on foot or by bike. If you want to venture out yourself, the alluring town and beaches of Gallipoli are nearby, as is the undiscovered gem of Nardó. Also, the famous baroque city of Lecce and the charming town of Otranto are not far to explore.
