In the heart of Salento, amidst the allure of the sea and the tranquility of the villages, La Gemma del Salento welcomes its guests into an elegant and relaxing atmosphere. This bed and breakfast in Racale and the holiday home in Torre Suda embody two aspects of a single experience: for those who wish to authentically engage with the region, surrounded by tradition, hospitality, and beauty.
The accommodations, meticulously designed, are perfect for couples and families. With air-conditioned rooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, satellite TV, mini-fridge, safe, and private bathroom, guests can enjoy comfort and serenity. The garden with a sun terrace and the infinity pool with a hot tub area provide an ideal retreat for unwinding after a day at the beach or exploring the charming streets of the Salento villages.
Every morning, Paola carefully prepares a rich and wholesome breakfast, which can be enjoyed wherever preferred: by the pool, in the garden, on the veranda, or in the privacy of one’s room. Local products, homemade pastries, and attention to detail turn this moment into a delightful ritual of pleasure and togetherness.
Sebastiano and Paola, who have devoted years of passion and professionalism to hospitality, greet their guests with the same care they would extend to long-time friends. Their travels have made them aware of what truly makes a stay special: impeccable cleanliness, efficient services, and a genuine, family-like atmosphere.
La Gemma del Salento is located in the historic center of Racale, a quaint village just minutes away from the golden beaches of Torre Suda and the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian coast. In just a short time, guests can reach Gallipoli, Santa Maria di Leuca, Otranto, and Lecce—ideal destinations for day trips filled with art, culture, and gastronomy. .
