Casarano suits families and groups wanting a private pool and garden in Salento, in a working agricultural town. Nearly all homes have a garden. Beaches are elsewhere, so a car is essential.
Casarano is a town of about 20,000 people in the province of Lecce, around 109 metres above sea level, and the sixth most populous in the province. Its economy is mostly agricultural, with olive oil as the main product, so this is a working town rather than a resort. The homes are spread through the countryside around it, and nearly all have a garden and air conditioning, with most having a private pool. Mostly they sleep around four. Beach days mean planning a drive.
A leisure port on the Salento coast and one of the main Italian destinations for summer holidays, known for its nightlife.
Where Salento's main railway line ends, and where the Linea 60 bus to Casarano starts.
Brindisi Airport is the practical gateway, about an hour and a quarter away by car. Buses via Lecce also reach Casarano, but the homes lie in the countryside, so hire a car.
No. It is a town of about 20,000 in the province of Lecce whose economy is mostly agricultural, with olive oil the main product. Coastal holiday towns such as Gallipoli, one of Italy's main summer destinations, are separate places.
About 20,000 people, making it the sixth most populous municipality in the province of Lecce. Olive oil is the main local product, so the surroundings are mostly agricultural land.
By bus from Lecce, on the Linea 60 service, or by train from Brindisi to Lecce and then a bus. Brindisi Airport to Casarano by road is about an hour and a quarter, so a hire car is the simpler option.
It works well if space and a pool matter more than a resort setting. Most homes here have a private pool, nearly all have a garden and air conditioning, but most sleep around four, so larger groups will find little choice.
