Grand Hotel Riviera

Location 
The picturesque village of Borgo di Santa Maria al Bagno, on the coast of Nardò, hosts the Grand Hotel Riviera, which is just a few paces from the sea, on the Ionic-Salento coast. It is set in lush Mediterranean greenery, on a terraced cliff and offers a splendid view over the Bay of Gallipoli.
The Hotel’s position, between the Nature Park of Porto Selvaggio, Gallipoli and Lecce, makes it easy to visit the best-known localities in the Salento area.
