History embedded. Love how simplistic the church is inside without all the extravaganza.

This Basilica, named "The End of Land" is built at the southernmost tip of the Italian heel, at a place where the Adriatic meets the Ionian sea. The 18c Church with adjacent Monastery is on top of a hill above the town, imo a very average one, both outside and inside. Many souvenir stalls around further ruin the feeling, making it a very touristy place. From the Church terrace is really a great seas view, but that's it - a max 45 min visit including the time for finding parking which is really an issue in August peak season

Busy but still a sense of tranquility and spiritual calm. Easy to access all area even for the less able bodied. Massive car parking space . Small stall holders selling a wide variety of goods at fairly reasonable prices . Small but busy cafe selling a good selection of pasties and snacks busy but worthwhile. Take your time to unwind here and treat it all as a bit of a pilgrimage at the joining of the two seas?

The place is nice, especially 280 steps to come up from port. There is a wsterfall that is oprated with water from roman acqudotto. (Occasionally)

Amazing to visit the End of the World!

You wont find this info in many guide books but there is amazing coastline road - SP358 with some superb views and at the end of this road there is this place. We took SP358 from Grotta Zinzulusa down south to Leuca. Superb views👌Well worth it!

Very nice place , large parking place , you can visit the church and soraundings , even the stone with inscription "DE FINIBUS TERRAE km0"

We went to this grotta with kayaks, booked via AirBnb. It was our best excursion of 1 week Puglia. An active day on the water. And that cave was just magical.

We swam there (arrived by car). It was lovely but a bit too many boats around…

Not worth 3€, bath is forbiden, little cave closed, not so beatiful, too many people, recomentd to avoid

When on a boat, you go where the boat goes. Great color of clear water!

pretty sure the visit inside is fantastic like to swim outside

It's worth! We did a great hike, there were nearly no torusim boats when we arrived. Such a great view. On the southwest are some "cliffs". The Italian go swim there, jump into the water, etc. We spent some hours here during our hike. We left at afternoon, about 3pm - the boat tours arrived (see pic attached)

With a clear water it amazing 🤩

(Translated by Google) Doesn't really live up to its name: no water in this waterfall when we went. However it is worth the detour and the architecture is impressive. For our part, we went down one side to come up the other. The views are different (Original) Ne porte pas vraiment son nom : pas d'eau dans cette cascade lorsque nous y sommes allés.

(Translated by Google) The monumental waterfall of the Apulian aqueduct is located in Santa Maria di Leuca, right at the foot of the Sanctuary of Finibus Terrae. It marks the end of the grand aqueduct built in the 1930s to bring water to southern Salento. Two stone staircases descend symmetrically down the hillside to the port. On the day of my visit, the waterfall wasn't flowing, but the trail left by the water was clearly visible, allowing one to imagine its effect when activated. The place is peaceful and offers a beautiful view of the sea and the port of Leuca.

Amazing turquoise water , beautiful views of the tip of Italy …

Cape Punta Meliso is the southeastern tip of Italy — traditionally considered the lowest point of the geographical "heel" of the Italian peninsula, as well as the meeting point of the waters of the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea.

The feeling of being at the southernmost tip of the heel is amazing!

Great spot for photos, worth the visit

Nice place and view. Locals say that one should go at 7 in the morning to see how the Ionian meets the Adriatic. Didn.t manage to make it that early but enjoyed it as well!!

Free access and parking.

Unfortunately the weather was not so good, so it was closed. But still worth the visit.

(Translated by Google) First time in this residence. Nice experience. Courtesy and tranquility reign supreme. Strategic position both for the sea and for visiting nearby locations. The owner Salvatore is a friendly and very nice person. I recommend it! (Original) Prima volta in questo residence. Bella esperienza. Cortesia e tranquillità ne fanno da padrona.

(Translated by Google) We returned to this residence for the second year in a row, and I can confirm it was a fantastic choice! The cleanliness and attention to detail are impeccable; every detail has been designed to ensure maximum comfort. But what really makes the difference is the owner, Salvatore: an incredibly helpful and welcoming person who makes you feel truly at home. His kindness and professionalism were crucial in making our vacation even more special. We have no hesitation in recommending this residence to anyone looking for a place to relax and feel part of the family. Five stars! (Original) Siamo tornati per il secondo anno consecutivo in questo residence e posso confermare che è stata una scelta fantastica!

La sua gentilezza e professionalità sono state fondamentali per rendere la nostra vacanza ancora più speciale. Non esitiamo a consigliare questo residence a chiunque cerchi un luogo dove poter rilassarsi e sentirsi parte della famiglia. Cinque stelle!

(Translated by Google) Excellent residence managed by Mr. Salvatore. Clean and tidy, it is in the town of Lido Marini, but off the main street. The residence has multiple housing solutions, from the largest to the smallest. The underground parking for the car is very convenient. Air conditioning inside the apartments, fair prices. In the kitchen there is everything you need, but around there are several restaurants, pizzerias and a supermarket. Don't miss breakfast at Martinucci's very close to the residence. It can be used both as a base for visiting the whole of Salento as we did, or even for a classic seaside life, with various solutions of free and equipped beaches within walking distance. (Original) Ottimo residence gestito dal signor Salvatore. Pulito e ordinato, è nel paese di Lido Marini, ma al di fuori della via principale. Il residence dispone di più soluzioni abitative, dalle più grandi alle più piccole. Comodissimo il parcheggio sotterraneo per l'auto. Aria condizionata all'interno degli appartamenti, prezzi onesti. Nella cucina è presente tutto l'occorrente, ma attorno ci sono diversi ristoranti, pizzerie e un supermercato. Da non perdere la colazione da Martinucci molto vicino al residence. Può essere usato sia come base per visitare tutto il Salento come abbiamo fatto noi, o anche per fare classica vita di mare, con diverse soluzioni di spiagge libere e attrezzate raggiungibili a piedi.

The property is beautiful, well-maintained, and equipped with all the comforts needed for a relaxing vacation. I personally returned for the second time, a sign of how much I enjoyed my stay, and several of my friends have stayed there multiple times, always satisfied. The location is perfect, just steps from the splendid Spiaggia dei Dei (Spiaggia of the Gods) and close to the famous Martinucci bar, excellent for breakfast, aperitifs, or traditional desserts. The apartments are clean, well-maintained, and functional, ideal for instantly feeling at home. Plus, there are bicycles available, perfect for exploring the surrounding area. Special thanks to Salvatore, the owner, who is kind, helpful, and always attentive to his guests' needs. I recommend Residence Salù to anyone seeking crystal-clear waters, tranquility, and genuine hospitality. A place you'll always want to return to!

La posizione è perfetta, a due passi dalla splendida Spiaggia dei Dei e vicino al celebre bar Martinucci, ottimo per colazioni, aperitivi o dolci tipici. Gli appartamenti sono puliti, ben tenuti e funzionali, ideali per sentirsi subito a casa. In più, ci sono biciclette a disposizione, perfette per muoversi in libertà nei dintorni. Un plauso particolare a Salvatore, il proprietario, una persona gentile, disponibile e sempre attenta alle esigenze degli ospiti. Consiglio il Residence Salù a chiunque cerchi mare cristallino, tranquillità e ospitalità vera. Un posto dove si torna sempre volentieri!

The area is known for its natural beauty and is a popular destination for outdoor activities. The spot is little bit risky, but possible. The spot is worth a visit. Very suggestive and large cave has a rock formation inside which acts as a supporting column of the enormous cliff of the natural "roof" of the cave. There are many boatmen. Continuing the lovers' cave you can swim by entering onto a small beach. Its name derives from its resemblance to the head of a dragon which can be seen when entering the boat on the left wall.The series of caves and ravines leaves you speechless. The cave is so called because the rock inside vaguely resembled the shape of a lying dragon, with its tail on the left and its head on the right. Furthermore. Dragon's Cave, very beautiful like the others to visit on a boat excursion, evaluate carefully and find out about the caves that make you visit .

Such a nice spot! We found durin our hike a platform directly at the water. Swimming possible, getting out the water little bit risky, but possible. The spot is worth a visit.

Excellent tour! Went with Alexanders with the nicest boatsman. The tour took well over the estimated 1 hour, and swimming into the cave was allowed. € well spent!

great views positive vibe 🤟👌👍

So amazing, words cannot explain

Good landscape

Very good

Old watch tower, currently almost in ruins

Next.

(Translated by Google) Ancient stone watchtower, partly ruined. It owes its name to the discovery of human bone remains inside it. It is also called the old tower, because it was the first tower in Leuca, built in 1500. It cannot be visited, given its structural instability. (Original) Antica torre d'avvistamento in pietra, in parte diroccata. Deve il nome al ritrovamento al suo interno di resti ossei umani. È detta anche torre vecchia, perché fu la prima torre di Leuca, costruita nel 1500. Non è visitabile ,data la sua instabilità strutturale.

(Translated by Google) On the seafront of Leuca stands this beautiful watchtower from around 1500, also called Torre dell'Omo morta, which owes its name to the findings of bone remains inside it. Kept in a semi-degraded state and it is impossible to visit it but a photo can be taken from the street. (Original) Sul lungomare di Leuca sorge questa bella torre di avvistamento del 1500 circa, anche detta Torre dell'Omo morto, che deve il suo nome a ritrovamenti di resti ossei al suo interno. Tenuta in stato di semi degrado ed e'impossibile visitarla ma una foto dalla strada si può fare.

(Translated by Google) Nice to look at, driving past is enough. You can just walk along the street (Original) Schön zum anschauen, vorbei fahren reicht auch. Man kann nur die Straße entlang gehen

(Translated by Google) Punta Ristola. Not to be missed, breathtaking views, spectacular sunsets. Small statue of Padre Pio observing the sea. Must see. (Original) Punta Ristola. Da nn perdere, panorama mozzafiato, tramonti spettacolari. Piccola statua di Padre Pio ad osservare il mare . Da vedere .

(Translated by Google) Watchtower from around 1500 which owes its name to the findings of bone remains inside it. The monument has its own reason, it's a shame that it isn't valorised at all, in fact underneath it, despite the sharp bend on which it stands, there is wild parking in the summer, plus it's left in a state of decay, it's a shame that the municipality doesn't valorise it (Original) Torre di avvistamento del 1500 circa che deve il suo nome a ritrovamenti di resti ossei al suo interno. Il monumento ha un suo perché peccato che non sia per nulla valorizzato, infatti sotto di esso nonostante la curva a gomito su cui sorge d'estate vige il parcheggio selvaggio, in più è lasciato in stato di degrado peccato che il comune non la valorizzi

Good food, amazing atmosphere, but the food came at really odd times. Three of the party of five I was with got the tuna stake and got it almost instantly, the french fries same and also the chicken cutlet but the Angus burger came almost after everybody else had eaten same with the grilled vegetables and they forgot one of the portions of french fries.

We had an overall good experience! There was a bit of a wait, but nothing too excessive. The food was decent, not particularly memorable, but satisfying enough for a casual meal. The staff was very kind, although communication was a bit difficult due to the limited English. The real highlight is the beautiful seaside location, with a lovely view of the sea. It’s a nice spot for a relaxed lunch, especially if you’re looking for a place with a great atmosphere by the water.

Lovely beach club with terraced sun bathing pads over the wind whipped rocks at the very tip of Italy’s heel. We spent the day in unbeatable peace, surrounded by an unspoiled seascape. The meal was unpretentious and tasty.

We were just on time to eat here, as the kitchen closes at 9:30 pm. Though, you can sit until later to eat. I had a fish dish and it was delicious and served warm. When you are just sat, you get a prosecco glass served. Afterwards, at the end a limoncello shot (only if desired). There is a wide range of mocktails, about 8 of them. I recommend the redsunrise. There is a beautiful view, although a bit windy.

Very friendly restaurant where you are met with a glass of prosecco🥂. The food was well prepared, served very quickly - and I had the most amazing and intense tasting tomato-sauce with my grilled octopus on burrata👌. Wonderful place with lovely food and the best ambience 🥰. We give our best recommendations 👍😍

Come for the View, Stay for the Heart! What makes this place special isn’t just the stunning view, it’s the incredible welcome you receive the moment you arrive. The host’s warmth and hospitality create a truly memorable experience that’s rare to find. While the food may not be the most creative in town, it’s authentic and made with quality ingredients. You won’t come here for culinary surprises, but rather for a genuine, laid-back atmosphere where you can relax, enjoy the scenery, and feel at home. A place with soul, superb service, and a setting that speaks for itself. Absolutely worth discovering.

Giuseppe treated us to an amazing dinner, tasting several special and unique dishes including paccheri with burrata, raw local shrimps, shrimps with saffron, and much more. What a feast!!

Room is great. Ambient is stylish. Seaview balcony perfect. Only the breakfast is awfull.

Unpleasant smell in the rooms. Receptionist refused us in using on premises parking and later I saw another guest doing that, probably they just didn't ask.

Absolutely fine! Only 4 rooms on the 1 floor: owner's and wife, two children 's. It is the museum, transition to Belle Epoque. Visit and stay!

(Translated by Google) My husband and I stayed at this property from 7 to 14 August 2024. It is a very suggestive historic villa with an excellent location, staying where you can use the services of the adjacent hotel. The location is located a stone's throw from the sea and the fact that access to the beach is included in the price certainly constitutes added value. However, the latter is really small and many families stand with their own umbrellas and towels in front of the umbrellas reserved for guests, which creates confusion and hinders passage. The pool area, however, is quiet and very ventilated. It's just a shame that the lifeguards don't enforce the rule of wearing a cap: we had to buy one, but we saw many guests bathing without wearing it. This seemed unfair to us. The rooms in the Villa are very spacious and above all clean, although they could do with some renovation. However, air conditioners are really noisy and often stop or turn off on their own during the night. The only sore point of the stay was the breakfast! SOFT, old biscuits and rusks. Industrial fruit juices, yoghurt and milk kept out of the fridge for hours and jams completely devoid of flavour. The only edible product was the Lecce pasticciotto. Overall, breakfast was really disappointing for us. When we stopped to eat for lunch at the hotel, however, in the same breakfast room, we ate very well. In the property's garden there is a fig tree, which unfortunately is not exploited at all and therefore the fruit often falls to the ground and is wasted unnecessarily. Fresh figs could be offered for breakfast and this would certainly be appreciated. We have become fond of the hotel's two red kittens, who are very sweet. Overall it was a relaxing holiday, but there are many aspects of the facility and staff that could be improved. (Original) Mio marito ed io abbiamo alloggiato presso questa struttura dal 7 al 14 agosto 2024. Si tratta di una villa storica molto suggestiva con un’ottima posizione, alloggiando presso la quale si può usufruire dei servizi dell’hotel adiacente. La location si trova a due passi dal mare e sicuramente costituisce un valore aggiunto il fatto che sia incluso nel prezzo l’accesso alla spiaggia. Tuttavia, quest’ultima è davvero piccola e davanti agli ombrelloni riservati agli ospiti si posizionano tante famiglie con i propri ombrelloni e asciugamani, che creano confusione ed intralciano il passaggio. La zona della piscina invece è tranquilla e molto ventilata. Peccato solo che i bagnini non facciano rispettare la regola di indossare la cuffia: noi abbiamo dovuto comprarla, ma abbiamo visto tanti ospiti fare il bagno senza indossarla. Questo ci è sembrato poco corretto. Le camere della Villa sono molto spaziose e soprattutto pulite, anche se andrebbero un po’ rinnovate. I condizionatori però sono davvero rumorosi e spesso si bloccano o si spengono da soli durante la notte. L’unica nota dolente del soggiorno è stata la colazione! Biscotti e fette biscottate MOLLI, vecchi. Succhi di frutta industriali, yogurt e latte tenuti fuori dal frigorifero per ore e marmellate completamente prive di sapore. L’unico prodotto commestibile è stato il pasticciotto leccese. Insomma, la colazione per noi è stata davvero deludente. Quando ci siamo fermati a mangiare a pranzo presso l’hotel, invece, nella medesima sala della colazione, abbiamo mangiato benissimo. Nel giardino della struttura c’è un albero di fichi, che purtroppo non viene assolutamente sfruttato e quindi spesso la frutta cade a terra e viene inutilmente sprecata. Si potrebbero offrire dei fichi freschi a colazione e questo sarebbe sicuramente apprezzabile. Ci siamo affezionati ai due gattini rossi dell’hotel, che sono dolcissimi. Nel complesso è stata una vacanza rilassante, ma ci sono molti aspetti della struttura e dello staff che andrebbero migliorati.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful historic villa very well located, but what a shame: A room with yellow bathrobes so doubt about cleanliness.

(Translated by Google) We are currently on vacation in this villa. This extraordinary hotel, reminiscent of a museum from the 1920s, is by far the best we've booked in decades, and today we even extended our stay. This large room with its antique furniture and high ceilings slows things down; there's nothing digital or high-tech about it, like a TV that greets you upon arrival—because there isn't one. It's like it was back then. The open spaces, the library, and the dining room are sensational. The balcony with a view of the sea is also fantastic. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is available at the neighboring hotel upon request. We'll definitely be back here. (Original) Wir sind aktuell im Urlaub in dieser Villa. Dieses Außergewöhnliche Hotel in der Art eines Museums aus den 1920 Jahren ist mit Abstand das beste was wir seit Jahrzehnten gebucht haben und heute haben wir sogar nochmal verlängert. Dieses große Zimmer mit den Antiken Möbel den hohen Decken entschleunigt, denn es ist nichts Digital oder Hightech belastet mit zb. einem Fernseher der einen bergrüßt bei der Ankunft denn es gibt keinen. Es ist wie damals. Die offenen Räume die Bibliothek das Speißezimmer sind Sensationell. Auch der Balkon mit Ausblick aufs Meer ist toll. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Frühstück gibt es auf Wunsch im Nachbarhotel. Wir kommen sicher wieder hier her.

Amazing time, I definitely recommend the boat excursion, we went to see all of the caves, and went to swim in a very dark little cave for 20 minutes!!!

Nice atmosphere with a refreshing sea breeze. Great place for an evening walk!

We stayed here aboard our sailboat. Marina staff were friendly and approachable. Not much in terms of facilities (basic toilets and showers). Easy to access the town and walk along coast. Must walk along wooden walkway hugging coastline and up the 300 steps to the church and lighthouse at the top.

Well, it's a tourist port. Don't know why you could be interested in it, anyway it's well done and prepared, organized. The landscape is good, one side Leuca, the other the monumental waterfall with the lighthouse and the Cathedral. Like boats? Go there; like landscapes, sea, swimming and eating? Go around :)

Go visit the guy and girls at Gnu Diving. Very friendly and helpful. They were excellent with me and my son on our first ever scuba dive, couldn't have been better.

Marina was expensive for what it was. Left much to be desired but it's in key passage making location. The town itself is a delight. Very charming.

Great fun! We got to swim through some beautiful caves and enjoyed the sight from sea.
