La Torre nel Borgo.

Small historic home – Residence – Bed & Breakfast.

La Torre nel Borgo is our small challenge to the brutality that sometimes we find in our territory, it is the re-use rather than the new build, to realize an idea of economic development based on our historical-cultural heritage.

We need to train our sense of beauty and La Torre nel Borgo represent a little lesson: each one of us can be responsible abour our change!

La Torre nel Borgo is a small historic house recently restructured, with passion and respect for its history.

Located on the borders of the historic center, through the centuries the Tower has had several functions, including the defense of the town.

Within the Tower, some inscriptions have been preserved, one of which, in Latin, reads “Possession of Don Cosma Vergallo”, some archive documents says that Coma Vergallo was the prelate of the country in the second half of the ‘600, from that we have the name of our Vergallo Suite.

On the front of the Tower there is a large entrance arch leading to the common court and from this to the other rooms of the structure, called Conca, Basilea, Vrani, ancient names attributed to the small village of Borgagne over the centuries.

Into the shadow of the court the typical “pile” or wells used for water collection, Mediterranean plants and stone benches involve to have a relaxing breaks during the warm afternoon “meriggi” of Salento.

Our family will welcome you with authentic Salento’s hospitality, made of gestures, attentions and scents, more than words. Gino with his “green thumb”, discreet but always present; Antonella and Valentina are passionated for the Apulian territory and the hospitality that became profession; Anna’s grandmother, the scent of our land, her tarts with nuts and soft donuts, are like cuddles for a “good morning” along a vacation.
