An Overview of The Castle Weeks at a Glance:
A different sort of week.

On several special occasions throuought the year, a local baron loans us his ancestral home, a beautiful and aristocratic castle not far from the Adriatic, in the deep, deep south of Italy (an hour south of Lecce).

The castle’s kitchen opens onto the main piazza of small southern provincial town, and it’s the interacting with this town that make our castle course so remarkable.

You’ll meet Piero the baker, Serena the fruit and vegetable lady and we’ll stroll the nearby olive groves for a late afternoon walk to build an appetite for dinner. The castle is ours for the week, as is the massive stone kitchen that the baron built just for us.

With thoroughly modern amenities, each room at the castle has air condition and a private bathroom. In the warmer months, the baron’s olymipic sized pool is ours as well. As is the 600 year old underground olive mill that he restored for as well.

The castle is not an alternative to our local leccese B and B- it’s too far away, but rather an entirely different type of week

And always, we meet in Lecce and then we handle all transportation.
