Santa Cesarea Terme

Santa Cesarea

Santa Cesarea Terme is to be found to the south of Otranto, positioned atop a rugged plateau and overlooking the sea. This town is characterised by the typical architecture of early Twentieth Century and the coast is punctuated with thermal springs, sodium chloride and sulphur based curative water that springs forth at varying temperatures within the four natural caves along the cliff face. But Santa Cesarea Terme is not only a synonym of health and beauty, the town offers numerous activities, opportunities for fun and enjoyment, as well as long walks along the unpolluted promenade of Salento.

Not to be missedexpand/compress

There are a number or luxurious monumental villas and summer houses, both frivolous and extravagant, built at the beginning of the XX Century by the Bourgeois of Salento. They were in search of agreeable holiday destinations and immediately appreciated the healthy aspect offered by the thermal cures. Of these, the beautiful Villa Sticchi, built in the Moorish style at the end of 1800.
Thermal-mineral water springs forth within the four natural caves, connecting to the sea and called respectively: Gattulla, Fetida, Sulfurea and Solfatara. This spring water varies in temperature from 27 to 30 degrees and is particularly indicated in the cure of arthritis, rheumatism, dermatological and respiratory problems as well as beauty and anti-stress therapy.
A pathway through the Aleppo pinewood leads to the higher side of town from where a beautiful view of the Salento coast can be enjoyed, right up to the headland of Santa Maria di Leuca.
