Villa Lona offers you an incredible view of the sea and the puglian landscape! The perfect place to relax. A calm place, and still close to everything you need .

The beaches of the Ionian Sea aren only 3 km away. The sand here is white and fine, the beach is gently sloping. The warm, crystal clear turquois water is a pleasure for bathing . Close to the villa there are mainly natural coastal sand dunes. Even during high season you can still find a spot of your own and even bring your dog .

Villa Lona is surrounded by small places and towns, offering all sorts of shopping and leisure activities, cafés, bars and restaurants ; San Pietro in Bevagna (3 km), the charming, all year-round inhabited town Maruggio (6 km), the fishing village Torre Colimena (10 km), Campomarino with its marina (10 km), and of course the bigger, historical and at the same time modern town of Manduria (10 km), famous for its red wine Primitivo.

The landscape of Salento is characterized by vine, olive trees and cactuses, and the unique trulli, traditional Apulian round dry stone huts with conical roofs. Here you will find many wine yards, olive oil producers and small markets where you can buy directly from the producer. In the many masserie (typical rural farm houses) and country guesthouses you can enjoy the tasty food of Puglia, based mainly on fresh, sun ripened and natural products. Add tasty wines, the warm hospitality of the south and low prices – there you have a real pleasure going out!

If you are interested in cultural activities you will also find plenty of things to do and see in Puglia. Villa Lona lies in the “Magna Graecia”, the antique part of Southern Italy colonialized by the Greek. By Manduria the Messapians left amongst other things gravesites and a wall. There is also a museum for primitivo there. Other historical places are the port city of Galllipoli, the baroque Lecce, Matera, the soon to be European Capital of Culture 2019 with its sassi – caves, Alberobello and its complete town of trulli, and the ceramic town of Grottaglie, just to name a few.

We think Puglia has so much to offer; beautiful beaches, so much space, the feeling of freedom, warmth, hearty people, charming towns… And since we really enjoy cooking and eating, we indulge ourselves with the great range of local fruits and vegetables available at any time of the year, variations of typical pasta, the home made taralli we buy at the local supermarket Jonical in San Pietro in Bevagna (the big counter there is brilliant!), olive oil in big quantities, and of course, the wine. Whether you buy an expensive bottle or a 5-L-can from the local store, the taste is always delicious!
