A dreamy Puglian farmhouse with outdoor pool and gleaming sea views, half an hour from the baroque wonders of Lecce – includes a welcome drink, plus breakfast and studio options.

  • Stunning setting: With sheer cliffs plunging into jewel-toned waters, Torre dell’Orso is a glorious pocket of southern Italy. On a hill with prime sea views, Borgo Sentinella is steps from silvery Blue Flag sand and pine forest; this is a really pretty place to kick back and relax for a few days.

  • Relaxation aplenty: This Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice-awardee occupies a pair of whitewashed masserie – all creamy exposed stone, shuttered windows and olive trees. Outside, a seasonal swimming pool lined by sun loungers is the ultimate spot for downtime and a place to top up the tan.

  • Classic charm: Each of the 16 rooms and suites channels rustic interiors with a chic boutique edge – think acres of polished stone, olive-green shuttered windows, hand-carved headboards and beamed ceilings. Studio's have ample space and a small kitchenette with wooden table and chairs.

Location and what's nearby

SP 297 73026 - Torre dell'Orso LE, Italy

Set in the 'heel' of Italy's 'boot', Salento is a postcard-pretty region of crystalline waters, hidden coves and sandy bays. It's here, a 30-minute drive from the historic city of Lecce, that Borgo Sentinella is located, a stone's throw from the turquoise bay of Torre dell'Orso, where a Blue Flag-awarded beach lures visitors to its silver-tinted sand and crystal-clear waters.

Flanked by sheer cliffs and a pine grove, the 900-metre bay is famed for Le Due Sorelle (The Two Sisters) – a pair of rocky promontories which jut high above the water and the only interruption to the blue-on-blue vistas. Be sure to venture out to Lecce during your stay: this creamy sprawl of baroque buildings is the jewel in Puglia's crown, with its pretty piazza, ornate cathedral and statue-adorned basilica.
