Corte del Salento: The Village for Your Holidays

Corte del Salento is, among the 4-star holiday villages between Torre dell’Orso and Sant’Andrea, the only one set within 9 hectares of Mediterranean scrubland along the Adriatic coast of Salento. The resort is located in the municipality of Melendugno, just 2 km from the seaside resort of Torre dell’Orso and 800 metres from the bay of Sant’Andrea — two of the most beautiful beaches in Salento, both awarded the Blue Flag.

Built in 2008 and inspired by the traditional architecture of Salento courtyard houses, the resort features 124 rooms spread across ground and first floors, overlooking peaceful courtyards and flower-lined paths among centuries-old olive trees. An authentic style that reflects the true spirit of Salento, without giving up the comfort of a modern 4-star resort.

The Corte del Salento Holiday Village offers guests everything they need for a complete holiday in Salento. The highlight is the large swimming pool with a beach-style entrance — safe for children, surrounded by small green islands, Mediterranean plants and lighting effects that make it spectacular both day and night. Next to the pool, there is a fully equipped sun terrace with sunbeds and umbrellas.

For those who love sports and nature, this resort near Otranto features tennis and five-a-side football courts, a children’s playground, a spacious relaxation area in the shade of olive trees, and an internal panoramic lift. In the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic, just a few minutes away, guests can enjoy snorkelling, diving, canoeing, boat trips and much more.

In the evening, the on-site amphitheatre hosts entertainment shows performed by our animation team — one of the most popular experiences for families staying at our holiday village in Salento.

Within the Corte del Salento Holiday Village, the historic Masseria Giammarino has been carefully preserved — a 17th-century estate that represents one of the most exclusive and unique features of our offer in Salento.

The masseria offers 7 independent rooms with all modern comforts, a private swimming pool, a restaurant area and a spacious garden. An authentic corner of Salento, ideal for those seeking a more intimate and private holiday, in close contact with the history and nature of this land — while still enjoying all the facilities of the holiday village in Torre dell’Orso.

The Corte del Salento Holiday Village enjoys a strategic location for exploring the very best of the Adriatic coast of Salento.
