From Tabacchificio to the discovery of the true Salento

“Salentu: sun, sea and ientu (wind)”: there is so much truth in this ancient way of saying that, however, it does not exhaust the richness of this marvelous territory. In fact, in addition to the most beautiful beaches of the Ionian and the suggestive inlets of the Adriatic which are located a short distance from the tobacco factory, the nearby villages of Castro, Specchia, Ugento, Tricase and Santa Maria di Leuca are not to be missed. Going a little further, Lecce, Otranto, Gallipoli, extraordinary cities of art and culture, deserve a visit for a whole day or even for a few hours.

Our Salento

The tobacco factory... A love story

At the end of the 40s, our legendary Nonna Tetta had worked at the tobacco factory before emigrating to the North of Italy, where we live during the year.
The love for this land and for the values handed down by our grandmother moved us to recover the historic building that housed the tobacco factory of Gagliano del Capo and to use it as a place of hospitality and conviviality.
Thus was born the Tabacchificio Hotel, made of materials and colors that evoke tobacco and Salento, made alive by a warm and familiar welcome.

Our picture Paola and Antonella

We, Paola and Antonella believe that true hospitality means beautiful rooms, cleanliness and special service and those little touches of family atmosphere that make the difference in a vacation.
Because we want you to say, once back home :
"I cannot wait to return" ...
