Welcome

A quiet corner of the Mediterranean, kept for you

Set in the silver-green maquis above Santa Maria di Leuca, Mediterranea looks out over the place where the Adriatic and the Ionian finally meet. Honest Puglian comfort, a great saltwater pool, and the deep south's most beautiful beaches a short drive away.

Part of the Messapia Hotel & Resort — four stars, family-run, and steps from the sea.

Salt water, warm stone, and the sea below

The heart of the resort is its big saltwater pool, ringed by sun terraces and the scent of the maquis — with the white roofs of Leuca and the blue of the Ionian stretching out beyond. Float, read, doze, repeat; then catch the sunset from a pergola-shaded terrace with a cold drink in hand.

The Experience

Six reasons you'll never want to leave

A slow, sun-warmed kind of luxury, at the very tip of Italy.

All-day saltwater

A big saltwater pool with sun terraces and a poolside bar. Swim, sip, repeat.

Spa & stillness

A wellness centre with beauty and cosmetic treatments — the gentle end to a sunlit day.

Salento on a plate

Sea-fresh Puglian cooking at I Messapi, a generous breakfast, and sunset aperitivi.

Golden-hour terraces

Pool views and a sea breeze on the skin. The light turns the colour of the wine.

Where two seas meet

The southern tip of Italy — beaches, sea grottoes and a lighthouse at your door.

Room for the whole crew

Family rooms, a kids' club and a pool nobody wants to leave — bring your favourite people.
