New Voyage Privé

Carefully selected by our experts especially for you

Your Destination

Ventre out to the beautiful town of Castro, located on the eastern coast of Salento where the coast is high and provides access to the sea's deep waters. The hotel is close to the marina and the enchanting Zinzulusa cave which will both intrigue and inspire you with the many stalactites that create a magical space. The old town of Castro is charming with its olive groves, 12th-century cathedral and cliff-top piazza where you can enjoy some incredible views of the sparkling sea. Marvel at the old style buildings that make up this town on the edge of some spectacularly blue bays.

You will also be a short drive from the coastal town of Otranto which boasts stunning old buildings and breathtaking lakes that are not to be missed. The Otranto Cathedral and Aragonese Castle of Otranto and two ancient buildings with strong, imposing exteriors. Admire the Laghetto Cave di Bauxite with its brilliant orange landscape and wonderful waters, this lake looks like it was painted by an artist.

Situated in southern Italy, the charming city of Lecce boasts fabulous Baroque architecture and a contemporary art scene that is regarded as one of the best in the region. With 17th Century churches, historic palaces, Roman ruins, and picturesque town squares, this city is often referred to as the "Florence of the South". Visitors can also expect to sample delicious cuisine with distinct regional flavours and a wide selection of restaurants. There are plenty of boutique shops and you can even try out the family-friendly pastime of paper-mache making. The hotel is a short drive from this city which puts guests in the perfect location to venture out for the day to explore the historic buildings and shops before heading back to your coastal retreat for some relaxation.

Hotel Orsa Maggiore 4*

Enjoy your stay at the traditionally designed Hotel Orsa Maggiore 4* where you will find a perfect coastal location a mere 700m from the beach.
