Nicolaus Club Il Gabbiano ****

Position 

Set on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Salento shore, Nicolaus Club Il Gabbiano stands directly on the seashore just a short distance from the gleaming beach of Marina di Pulsano.

Beach 

A fine white sand beach is right in front of the hotel (about 100 meters away), and can be reached by an underpass running directly from the hotel itself.
