The B&B Saint Venardia is located
within a small Agricultural Firm which, in the winter months, dedicates
itself to the cultivation of the mushroom Cardoncello. The atmosphere
is that of a true B&B under family management, owned and run as it is by a
couple with two young sons. The house, typically Mediterranean in style and
construction and surrounded by an uliveto (countryside dotted with
olive trees), has available three recently refurbished rooms and a
fully-equipped apartment. The B&B is situated in Gallìpoli's Arena of Saint
Venardia, a few hundred meters from the sea and 1,500 metres from the city
centre. Walking along the coastal road in the direction of Leuca you
immediately encounter, starting with the Lido S. Giovanni, the most
beautiful beaches of Gallipoli with their characteristically delicate golden
sands that mix with the wild dunes and rocks of the punta de Pizzo (Pizzo
Point).
Turn in the other direction,
however, and you find yourself immediately on the waterfront Galileo
Galilei that, by way of a long promenade bustling with all kinds of
market dealers, kiosks, music and children’s attractions, transports you to
the historical center of Gallipoli. Kalè Polis (beautiful city) was
the name given by the ancient Greek navigators to this marvelous città/scoglio
(city/rock) of the Messapis. Immersed in the blue of the Ionian sea, it is
characterised by a maze of lanes that scurry amongst whitewashed houses and
residences painted with the most brilliant Mediterranean colours. Continuous
invasions have left an indelible trace upon the architecture: the
Hellenistic Fountain; the Angioino Castle; the Ponte Vecchio that
connects the island to the mainland; the Cathedral of Sant'Agata. The
weaving of different cultures has left the city with an abundance of
religious and gastronomic traditions which are repeated each year - the most
spectacular of which occur around the time of Carnival, Easter and
Christmas.
Today Gallipolì
is not just a sea harbour and big commercial centre but also a dynamic
tourist reference for the whole Salento thanks to its exemplary bathing
facilities and the nautical equipment which allows it to host boats of every
class.
