A few hundred meters from the coast, there is our masseria, a short distance from the others called Nociglia (to the sirocco), Torre Nova (to the west), Càfari (to the north), Torsano and Sciogli (to the east), and from the well-known equipped park of Porto Selvaggio. We reach it from the Gallipoli-Porto Cesareo coast road (S.P. 286), just before the tourist village of Torre Inserraglio, or from the Tarantina road (S.P. 112), taking the road that connects this with the coast road. It is less than 6 km from Nardò. Half hidden by tree vegetation, it was once a fundamental point of reference for those who went down to the sea.
