  • Shaded pitches in pine forest on a rural site near Otranto in Salento
  • Five minutes’ walk to the Bay of Turks, 10 minutes’ drive to Otranto
  • Seasonal produce, an organic shop and café bar on site
Dreaming of a camping holiday under the warming southern Italian sun, with a sandy beach and lively seaside town close by? Peruse the pics of Agriturismo Fontanelle, in southern Italy’s Salento region, as chances are it’s a good match for you. Set in the grounds of a historic farmhouse, the grass pitches here sit in the shade of the pine trees, which is most welcome on those days when the sun is particularly strong. A path leads directly from the pitches down through the trees and to the Bay of Turks (five minutes’ stroll). And should you tire of the sun and the sand (not likely, is it?), head straight for lovely Otranto (10 minutes’ drive or a bus ride away) for an evening of bar hopping with sea views. The eco-conscious site owners do much to ensure that food kilometres are kept to a minimum: they have their own organic food brand for sale in the shop and café (open in high summer), including such staples as olive oil and tomato purées. You can also nab locally made breads and pastries, wines and cheeses as well as seasonal Fontanelle-grown fruit and veg. And the practicalities? Spacious pitches have electric hook-ups and access to a very smart communal shower block with a clutch of amenities like washing machines (extra charge) and washing-up areas to make life more than comfortable.

What customers say

Great site, spacious pitches by pines, near a clear beach. Clean loos with hot water & paper. Friendly staff, small shop. Quiet, handy for Otranto by bus. Some found pitches with power lacked shade, and no bar on site.

Liked Super accueil, ils sont au petits soins avec leur campeur, très bien placé avec accès à la plage en quelques minutes en traversant une forêt de pains. Les sanitaires sont spacieux et très très propre souvent nettoyer. Je recommande sans hésiter.
Vous avez la possibilité de prendre le bus à côté de l’accueil pour aller a la ville la plus proche Otrante top.

Liked Il campeggio merita tutte le stelle che ho dato..posto incantevole, nei pressi di una pineta e non lontano da un mare cristallino....peccato pero che prenotando dal sito, mi ha fatto selezionare la prenotazione con pitchup e con enorme sorpresa ho scoperto di aver pagato una commissione extra di 30 euro !! (pensavo invece fosse la caparra del campeggio stesso)...assolutamente scorretto per cui attenzione!!!

Disliked prenotazione con pitchup che si prende 30 euro (praticamente il 20% del soggiorno) per fare esattamente nulla!!! Chiamate direttamente il campeggio per prenotare

Local attractions

Of course, the soft sands of the Bay of Turks are accessed straight from the campsite, but if you’d like to see more of Salento, several coastal trails lead to the rocky beaches and cliffs of remote Punta Palascia and its landmark lighthouse. Just a bit further down the coast is Porto Badisco (20 minutes’ drive), where an often-deserted sandy beach sits in a rocky inlet with sea grottos to swim into. Another lovely wild spot is Alimini Lakes (20 minutes’ walk), with two lakes that are home to herons and flamingos; it’s popular for wild swimming, forest walks and boat cruises. Otranto (10 minutes’ drive) is the easternmost town in Italy, and surely deserves a visit for its lovely location overlooking the Adriatic Sea, a nose around the Romanesque cathedral and its mosaics and to tour the 15th-century castle in the town’s former defence walls. Alternatively you could avoid all that, and head straight for a beachfront bar to put your feet up in the sun with a glass of chilled white wine.
