S.P. 110 Veglie - Torre Lapillo km.5 - Leverano (Lecce)
Расположение
This hotel is set deep in the countryside, less than 10 km from the beaches of Torre Lapillo and Punta Prosciutto, both suburbs of Porto Cesareo. Engulfed by the silence of the Salento landscape, Masseria Corda di Lana is located about 30 km from Lecce and 69 km from Salento (Brindisi) airport.
Hotel
The farm most likely dates as far back as Mediaeval times, but the first historical records of its existence date back to the end of the 18th century with a text documenting its use as a place designated for work with huts for animals, troughs, straw, a storehouse for wares, a house for the shepherd, bread oven, a cistern and a well.
After several transformations, today Masseria Corda di Lana is a place of peace and revival; a place where you can recharge the batteries and feel at home, all the while enjoying dedicated and professional service.

Beach
The closest beaches are the ones in Porto Cesareo and its suburbs: Torre Lapillo and Punta Prosciutto – a marine area where guests can explore underwater life on guided tours to see coral formations and Neptune Grass.
Along the coast, guests will find a serviced beach as well as several public bathing spots. Other beaches that are well worth a visit include the stunning beaches of Salento, like Porto Selvaggio and Torre Colimena.
Restaurant
Masseria Corda di Lana’s restaurant – La Capriate – has a large white-coloured dining room that boasts a country-chic style with exposed beams and stones. On summer nights, the restaurant moves to the inner court where guests can dine engulfed by the fragrance of Mediterranean plants.
The chef’s creative streak – his ongoing search for new experiments – delights guests’ palettes by mixing traditional flavours with modern elements. Fresh seasonal products purchased daily from local producers and fishermen are always first choice. The extra-virgin olive oil is, of course, locally produced.
Mornings at Masseria Corda di Lana kick off with a breakfast buffet of local, handcrafted products. The sweet delights on offer include pies, cakes, doughnuts, artisanal jams, bread, fresh yoghurt and freshly-squeezed orange juice, while on the savoury side there are traditional products from local producers like tomato friselline as well as a selection of cured meats and cheeses.
For the year 2021 the Hotel's Restaurant will be closed for both lunch and dinner. Guests can enjoy the Brunch service by the pool during the day, with cold dishes.
Services & Activities
Nestled in the ancient olive groves, the two stunning pools, one with a hot tub, are available for guests’ enjoyment. At sunset, guests can sit back and sip on excellent cocktails prepared with fresh fruits, served at the pool side.
Guests can also take advantage of the tennis court surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, or go jogging among the olive trees.
The pool is open from May to the end of September and access is at the management’s discretion, dependant on weather conditions.
