Savelletri is a fishing port on a stretch of coastline so beautiful that it’s become a beach resort as well. Most of the coastline’s beaches are public, and many of the best places to stay in Savelletri, though extremely elegant and luxurious, are converted from masseria and farm estates, and are surprisingly affordable. If you want a beach to yourself, or easy access to the ocean, or a golf course, you’ll find plenty of accommodation to close from here. You can also find a number of extremely romantic hotel picks, and one or two very luxurious resorts, but there are also plenty of family-friendly options.
Puglia has many wonderfully converted masseria, but Savelletri’s seem to have especially picturesque locations; pretty hamlets, olive groves and sea views abound. Our Gurus’ favourites have been carefully refurbished, so that while they now offer all the mod cons, and usually an excellent restaurant serving local specialities to boot, they’ve lost little of their whitewashed charms. There are accommodation options within Savelletri itself too, along its narrow streets lined with pretty, whitewashed buildings.
To the north of its 300-berth port are cliffs topped by rows of charming old, white buildings, and to the south are rows of rocky reefs, so it’s a popular spot for divers, as well as beach lovers. Savelletri’s seafood restaurants are sure to impress with their proper Pugliese flavours, and traditional menus too. The town is a livelier choice, though all the picks on our Gurus’ list of the best places to stay in Savelletri are relatively peaceful, as well as being close to the beach.
Savelletri is a great option for anyone wanting to explore Puglia. It’s well located for visiting the traditional trulli structures of Alberobello, the beautiful white, hilltop village of Fasano, or Baroque beauty, Lecce, often referred to as the ‘Florence of the South’. But Savelletri is also a wonderful place to come to escape. However all this means that it's a very popular destination, so if you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Savelletri during the peak summer months, you'll need to get organised and book well ahead.
