In 2005, our Locanda was born again with our family, this historic residence in the village of Matino, : with us you can choose to live an experience unique in Salento. Greta and our guides will accompany you ON BIKE OR WALK, in the Salento greenhouses, to the discovery of dolmens and menhirs, in the parks along the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, in the historic villages among stories of brigands and nenias. Daniele in our PANORAMIC TRATTORIA in a vertical vegetable garden, will amaze you with the genuineness of the poor Salento cuisine of the past, also recovering ancient recipes and using local products . Do not miss our pizzica WORKSHOPS, typical fresh pasta, jams and our EVENTS on the terrace between jazz evenings, theatrical improvisations, cineforum, pizzica and “sturnelli” with guitar ... Luisa and Michela in the Court invite you every morning to have breakfast with their homemade sweets and salt cakes: the Pasticciotto and the Fruttone are a "must".

I am a chef and pizzaiolo, and after many years of experience around Italy, and abroad I decided to return to my village and its traditions, specializing myself in Mediterranean cuisine. What can I say more than me? My structure is the photograph of my job and passion, my culture and my beloved territory: Salento ... land of sea Sun and Wind, Welcome to the South, Welcome to SALENTO!

Matino is in a central position in the south Apulia, to reach the Ionian and Adriatic coasts and the historic villages of the hinterland: in the center, a short walk, among the white walls of the houses, and the flowered balconies, you will discover never seen glimpses, and relive emotions of other times. You can see courts, alleys and alleys with no exit and hypogeum crushers. A fundamental characteristic of the ancient village are the "court houses" made even more fascinating by the evocative architectural movement created with a flight of stairs of varied and imaginative construction. We provide our guests with gpx routes and tracks for cycling itineraries , visiting churches, places of cultural and hypogean interest, and even parks and beaches.
