From the peaceful countryside of Masseria Pompea, you can easily reach two completely different seas, choosing each day the landscape that feels most like your own: the sandy beaches of the Ionian coast or the sculpted cliffs of the Adriatic.
Within just a few kilometres, the scenery shifts from golden sands to deep, crystal-clear waters, with wild coves, long stretches of beach and unspoilt sections of coastline. The masseria’s location allows you to enjoy the sea without limits, with the freedom to change scenery every day and return in the evening to the silence of the countryside.
The Ionian coast – Sand, light and sunsets
The Ionian coast is known for its wide beaches, fine sand and shallow waters, making it perfect for those who love relaxation, walks along the shoreline and long sunsets over the sea. Here the water is gentler, the colours warmer and the pace slower.
Among the most popular destinations are:
- Gallipoli, with its urban beaches, seafront historic centre and long sandy coastline, just a 10-minute drive from Masseria Pompea
- The famous Baia Verde beaches, ideal for those looking for well-equipped beach clubs and crystal-clear waters
- Torre San Giovanni, with its promenade, around a 20-minute drive away
- The wide sandy stretches of Pescoluse, approximately 25 minutes’ drive from Masseria Pompea
This stretch of coastline is ideal for families, couples and anyone seeking a comfortable and easy-going day by the sea.
The Adriatic coast – Cliffs, caves and crystal-clear waters
The Adriatic coast offers a wilder landscape, shaped by cliffs, coves, deep waters and spectacular seabeds. It is the perfect choice for those who enjoy diving in, exploring, snorkelling and discovering more secluded stretches of coastline.
Among the most evocative spots are:
- Santa Maria di Leuca, where the Ionian and Adriatic Seas meet
- The spectacular sea caves, accessible through boat tours and excursions
- Rocky stretches and small inlets along the south-eastern coast of Salento
Here, the sea changes colour with the light of the day, shifting from deep blue to emerald green and offering ever-changing scenery.
A different destination every day
Staying at a masseria means being free to decide each morning:
- a day of beach and relaxation
- a day of cliffs and sea dives
- a day combining the sea, villages and a return to the peace of the countryside
It is this variety that makes Salento such a unique destination: two seas, two souls, one single experience to be enjoyed at a
