View
The Unit is located in the center of the town of Giurdignano so the view is of local houses, the church and an Orange Tree Garden of the neighbor. You hear the stroke of the church's bells. The town of Giurdignano is a very small village of 1000 inhabitants situated in the beautiful country side surrounded by olive trees just 10 minutes away from the famous town of Otranto. It is famous for the presence of megalithic monuments dolmen or menhir, of an archaeological site called "Le Centoporte" and of a church-cripta of San Salvatore that is located in the square. The house is in the center and it is nice in the summer to participate to local fiestas and the life of the village. Nearby are some natural Parks called Alimini and beautiful rock or sandy beaches in the area of Otranto. The owners can organise to go to a private beach club if requested.
