About Bestemming

What does a Salento family holiday look like when the sea is 500 m away and a pool is waiting back at camp? At Porto Cesareo Camping in Torre Lapillo, it looks like mornings by one of two outdoor pools, afternoons on the fine white sand of Punta Prosciutto and evenings at a lively show. All of it is wrapped in olive trees and Mediterranean scrub on the Puglian coast. Wondering how to reach the best beach without the car? The free shuttle leaves from beside reception and takes you to Punta Prosciutto in about 9 minutes, running morning and afternoon with a pause around lunchtime. Closer to camp, free beaches such as Baia Grande (650 m) and Baia Piccola (800 m) are within reach by bike, and bikes can be rented on site. And the little ones? A mini club, a daily programme of day and evening games, tournaments and Pizzica Salentina shows keep children busy, while a playground, football field, tennis court and game room give them space to roam. Parents can settle in at the bar, which serves fresh croissants at breakfast, or at the à la carte restaurant and pizzeria with its Mediterranean and local dishes. Where do you sleep? Choose a shaded pitch for your tent, caravan or camper, or a mobile home or bungalow. A well-stocked minimarket, six sanitary blocks with hot water and a free camper service keep daily life simple, and Lecce is 35 km away for a day out in the city. Tip: in high summer, rentals run Saturday to Saturday, so book early.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, free wifi is available in the common areas, so you can share holiday snaps or look up your next day out while the kids enjoy the playground nearby. After a morning at the pool or an afternoon on the beach, it is a handy way to stay in touch with family and friends back home.

Surroundings

The campsite sits among olive trees and Mediterranean scrub, a rural corner of Salento where centuries-old olive groves and dry stone walls meet the coast. Close by lies the Palude del Conte park, where reeds slope down towards the dunes, and the shoreline belongs to the Porto Cesareo Marine Protected Area. The sea is about 500 m away, the village of Torre Lapillo 800 m, the town of Porto Cesareo 8 km and the fine white sand of Punta Prosciutto 6 km. It is a warm, sun-soaked landscape made for slow family days outdoors.

“Wondering when to hit the beach? Catch the free shuttle from beside reception in the morning, with departures from 09:00, and enjoy Punta Prosciutto before lunch. Board the shuttle in dry clothes, as guests are kindly asked to, and the ride stays pleasant for everyone. Mid-morning is pool time: the pools are open 09:00-13:00 and again 15:30-19:00, so plan your splashes around those slots. Introduce the kids to the mini club on your first morning and let new friendships do the rest. Evenings belong to the show area, so look out for Pizzica Salentina dances and music, a proper taste of Salento. Hungry after the beach? The pizzeria is an easy family win, and the bar opens at 07:00 with fresh croissants. Stock up at the minimarket on Salento wines and olive oil; they make the best souvenirs for friends back home. Planning a bigger day? Lecce lies 35 km away, so leave after breakfast and be back for the evening show. Rental accommodation is ready from 17:00 and arrivals run until 20:30, so plan your drive to land in that window. Rent a bike for €8 per day and pedal to Baia Grande, 650 m away, for a free beach afternoon.”
