Carovigno is situated in a prime location in the heart of northern Salento, nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the Puglian countryside, just a few kilometers from the stunning white city of Ostuni. Its historic center, quaint and authentic, is dominated by the impressive Dentice di Frasso Castle, around which winding streets, churches, and small squares create a preserved atmosphere of the ancient village.
Nearby, the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve boasts an untouched landscape featuring sandy beaches, dunes, and trails surrounded by Mediterranean scrub, ideal for walking, biking, or relaxing beach days. The crystal-clear waters and rich marine biodiversity make this protected area perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts.
The region is well-known for the quality of its agricultural products, including extra virgin olive oil and local wines, which can be savored at traditional masserie and restaurants. From Carovigno, it’s easy to reach other culturally and scenically significant destinations such as Cisternino, Alberobello, Martina Franca, and the Castellana Caves, all within a short drive.
The proximity to Brindisi Airport and major road connections makes this part of Puglia perfect for those wanting to explore the region freely, balancing days of sun, culture, and gastronomy.
