The Amenities & Add Ons
The Location
The Aia located in the heart of Salento, just a 5-minute drive to the historic centre of Nardò and a 5-minute drive to the sea. Our retreat home is situated on 2 hectares / 5 acres of land which proudly grows a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as olives, walnut trees and more. Lecce is 19 miles from The Aia, while Gallipoli is 12 miles from the property. Casale Airport is 45 miles away.
FARM TO TABLE DINING
Thanks to the olive trees, fruit trees, and on-site garden, our restaurant offers a dynamic menu based on the principles of farm-to-table in addition to the olive oil, marmalades, and homemade scrubs we produce. The Aia has everything you might wish for at a Bed and Breakfast Puglia. With free range chickens, a garden, and farm to table restaurant, we hope you’ll enjoy an authentic Southern Italian Agriturismo experience.
Take Away Brown Bag Lunches
With all respect to panini - Italians have pasta and pizza down but they do not know the art of sandwiches. We create gourmet sandwiches brown bag style to not have to deal with summer lines at the beach and take away brown bag lunches. The summers in Salento are fun, filled, packed, lots of light, lots of heat and lots of people. Skip the lines and go straight to the good life with sun on your skin, sand under your feet, and one of the Aia’s gourmet sandwiches in hand. Don’t forget the smile!
