"La Torre nel Borgo" is located in the Old Town of Borgagne, a town ranked in the Borghi Autentici d’Italia (Most Authentic Italian Town shortlist), in the Province of Lecce within easy reach of the marvelous Adriatic coast of Salento. The facility has been recently renovated with fine materials and has 15 beds. It comprises two areas set on different floors. Situated at the edge of the Old Town, throughout the centuries La Torre has had various functions, including as a defensive structure. During renovation works, two inscriptions were discovered within the tower, one stating in Latin, “Ownership of Don Cosma Vergallo”, a town bishop from the latter half of the 17th century; hence the name of our suite, Vergallo. From the elevation a large, arched entrance opens onto the communal courtyard and the accommodation; Conca, Basilea, Vrani, ancient names given to the town of Borgagne throughout the centuries. During hot Salento afternoons, relax amongst the Mediterranean maquis vegetation and stone benches of the shady courtyard, where the ancient well sits, along with the “pile” traditionally used for collecting water.
