Antares

Antares in Melendugno is a countryside agriturismo with a relaxed, family-run feel that’s designed for beach days and quiet evenings back in the olive groves.

Authentic Salento setting: Antares is set along the Melendugno–San Foca road, surrounded by farmland and olive trees, giving your stay a calm “masseria” atmosphere while still being close to the coast.

Pool-focused downtime: A well-kept swimming pool is a highlight for many guests, especially for cooling off after the beach or unwinding between day trips.

Breakfast that feels homemade: Mornings typically include a generous spread with local-style sweets and simple, fresh options like fruit and yogurt—handy fuel before heading out.

Warm, attentive hosting: Guest feedback often points to genuinely caring owners and quick help with requests, creating an easy, looked-after experience.

Great base for beaches and day trips: Staying at Antares makes it straightforward to reach San Foca and Torre dell’Orso, and it’s also a practical launch point for exploring Lecce and Otranto by car.

Mattress comfort may vary: Some travelers find the beds on the firm side, which may not suit everyone.

Car is essentially required: Because Antares is in open countryside, you’ll often rely on driving for beaches, dining, and evening plans.
