Salento is pet friendly!
The Salento area is pet friendlyIl Salento è da tempo aperta al turismo "a quattro zampe" e prevede moltissime strutture in cui è possibile portarsi appresso gli amatissimi e fedelissimi amici.
Ogni struttura (hotel, b&b, agriturismo, masseria, casa vacanza, etc.) ha le sue opzioni, in alcune sono accettati solo animali di piccola taglia, in altre gli animali possono circolare nelle aree comuni solo al guinzaglio, piccoli accorgimenti che però permettono un'amabile e divertente convivenza felice. Poi vi sono strutture molto ben organizzate dove è possibile portarsi appresso persino il proprio …cavallo!.

The Handbook of reception and hospitality of Salento
Regole di accoglienza nel SalentoTen absolutely original and unique “rules”; ten extraordinary ways of behaviour that only Salento can give you. We are speaking of the famous Handbook of reception and hospitality of Salento.

...ever heard about "Salento Therapy"?
Natural wellness in SalentoThe Salento area offers to its visitors various and absolutely natural therapeutical and curative options. What is beautiful is that such benefits are not artificial actions and situations created by man and set up in whatever laboratory, rather it is nature itself that, through a sensitive perception of colours and sounds, smells and light, produces stimuli and impulses which lead to physical and psychological wellness. This is what the so called "Salento Therapy" is, and there is only one way to discover if it really works...

...and about the famous "Salento Slow Life"?
"Salento Slow Life is not a new acience, on the contrary it is just a banal realization of the lifestyle and way of thinking that has lived in this Italian lifstyleterritory for centuries. If the rest of the world lives a constantly "fast life", made up of running all the time and days full of useless frenzies and negative stress, people in Salento always live their own life following a slower and more reflexive biological clock. It is enough to wake up in early in the morning to notice the slow movements of the early workers, the fishermen, the peasants, the truck farmers and, during the day, to discover a slow world, the breakfast, the human relationships, the movements, the work. This is an advantage to taste a life made of welfare and inner peace.
