In the heart of the countryside of Puglia, Italy is the Villa Nike guesthouse offering bed and breakfast accommodation with the service and hospitality of a grand hotel.
The proximity of two coasts, and its nearness to the provincial capital of Lecce, makes this an ideal spot to stop and relax. From here you can enjoy the historical baroque architecture of Lecce and the various water sports on offer.
The Nike bed and breakfast is found near the town of Melendugno, which has about 9000 inhabitants. It is about 19 km from Lecce, 50 km from the airport at Brindisi and 1 km from the Adriatic coast, or more precisely the holiday resort of San Foca, and around 15 km from the delightful historical port of Otranto.
