The Marenea Suite Hotel stands on the eastern Salento coast, close to the ancient and enchanting small town of Castro, on one of the most beautiful panoramic cliffs in Apulia. It is an ideal destination for a fun and relaxing seaside holiday, but also for discovering the area’s fascinating history and traditions.
