Location

Mention pizzica, and the Salento instantly springs to mind. Stay in an agritourism farmhouse in the very heart of the Salento, from where to explore the region and fully enjoy your holiday. In the summer months we recommend exploring the wonderful beaches in this area; in spring and autumn, no to be missed excursions to the many towns in the province of Lecce, such as Otranto, Italy's "Oriental Pearl".

Typical Apulian Experience

Expert dancers demonstrate the pizzica steps and explain the legends associated with this particular dance; a mix of the sacred and the profane. In addition, with the help of a local tour guide and expert in history and folk traditions, you will discover towns linked to the pizzica: Galatina, Corigliano d'Otranto e Torrepaduli, where you can visit a tambourine workshop and watch a sword dance performance.
