Santa Maria di Leuca Apartments & Villas (Apulia)

At one time the earth was thought to end here where the Ionian and the Adriatic sea blend into thousands of blue shades. This is the extreme tip of the heel of Italy, where listening to the silence of the sea is enough to give you a sensation of well-being. Even the violent sea storms or the splashing waves caressing the last small boats left along the coast, assure intense feelings. Gateway to paradise, on the promontory stands Santa Maria di Leuca's minor pontificial Basilica de Finibus Terrae, where once there was the temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva.

Tradition tells that Saint Peter, coming from the East and on his way to Rome, landed at Leuca and began the evangelisation of Salento. Seen from the sea, the coast of Santa Maria di Leuca is a landscape of rare beauty. Chiselled from the action of the wind, the coast is full of cliffs falling sheer to the sea, sea caves and hollows of unparalleled shapes and colours which alternate with lonely, very white sandy beaches. Legend tells that Aeneas landed here.
