Villa Alba Puglia

Marina di Lizzano is located along one of the most captivating sections of the Apulian Ionian coast, in the heart of northern Salento. This seaside destination remains authentic and is away from mainstream tourist routes, featuring a landscape that alternates between long stretches of white sand, turquoise waters, and countryside dotted with ancient olive groves, vineyards, and dry stone walls. The sea is clear with sandy bottoms, gently sloping, making the beaches perfect for families with children.

Lido Bagnara, home to Villa Alba, is one of the most sought-after areas of the marina, thanks to its peaceful setting and proximity to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Gulf of Taranto. Among the most popular are Conca del Sole, La Spiaggetta, and Onad Blu, all with well-maintained facilities offering the option to reserve sunbeds and umbrellas, as well as stretches of free beach for those who prefer simplicity. During the summer months, the area comes alive with local events, markets, and live music evenings, all while maintaining a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere.

The small town of Marina di Lizzano provides everything needed for a comfortable stay: supermarkets, fruit shops, artisanal ice cream parlors, pizzerias, cafes, and a pharmacy, all easily accessible on foot or by bike. During the siesta hour, from 1 PM to 4 PM, shops close their shutters, a tradition in southern towns, creating a slower, more relaxed pace of life.

Behind the marina, the inland area offers authentic glimpses of Puglia. The surrounding countryside is traversed by secondary roads leading to villages like Lizzano, Sava, and Maruggio, where one can discover wineries producing excellent Primitivo, historic farmhouses, and churches hidden among the olive trees. The rural atmosphere blends with the charm of the sea, creating a comprehensive experience filled with nature, gastronomy, history, and hospitality.

Thanks to its strategic location, Marina di Lizzano also allows for easy access to more well-known destinations such as Manduria, Grottaglie with its ceramics, and the seaside areas of Pulsano and Campomarino. It is a corner of Puglia where time seems to slow down, and each day is measured by sunsets, the scents of salty air, and authentic flavors.
