Salento Breakfast
Typical Salento breakfast on the terrace
Our philosophy
We believe that no dish can be better than its ingredients, and that the best ingredients are generally local. Because a good breakfast requires excellent ingredients, we’ve selected the finest, strictly local products, crafted only by the finest local artisans.
A light early morning breeze, while all around reigns a rare quiet that only a terrace nestled among the ancient roofs in the heart of the village of Alessano can offer. A few scattered tables, framed by vibrant flowers and the large green leaves of prickly pears, witnesses to time. And you there, immersed in the simple beauty of the moment, savoring an authentic Salento breakfast: sweet, authentic, made with flavors reminiscent of home and tradition.
Breakfast is not included in the stay but, if desired, can be added upon booking.
Our breakfast isn’t standard, it’s not a buffet, it’s not international, but typically and rigorously Salento. You’ll never find processed juices or biscuits, Nutella or standard jams, omelets or sausages. Our products are all exclusively Apulian; even the coffee comes from a local roaster. Everything is freshly prepared each morning and served directly at your table or in your room.
If you’d like a different breakfast option, you can go to any café. Otherwise, whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or alone, this is the perfect place to indulge in the authentic flavors of Salento.
TYPES OF BREAKFASTS OFFERED: SUPERIOR or LIGHT
SUPERIOR BREAKFAST (20 € PER PERSON)
The superior breakfast is truly generous and can be sweet or savory.
Both (sweet and savory) include a hot or cold beverage of your choice (coffee, cappuccino, latte, tea, Lecce coffee, juice, etc.) and a mix of fresh seasonal fruit (peach, grape, apricot, fig, melon, watermelon, etc.), but the other options differ.
In fact, the superior sweet breakfast also includes a dessert (pasticciotto Salentino, croissant), a Salento pastry (tart, ciambellone, pasticciotto cake, pansoffice, etc.), and other sweet treats (sweet chocolate, pistachio, or almond tarrallini).
The superior savory breakfast, on the other hand, also includes a savory item (rustico, calzone, pizzo salentino, focaccia barese, puccia), a mix of local savory products (rustico, burratina, capocollo di Martina Franca, local cheeses, etc.), and other savory treats (classic savory tarrallini, fennel tarrallini, onion tarrallini, etc.).
In short, whatever your preference (sweet or savory), the superior breakfast is more than an experience, it’s a lunch.

LIGHT BREAKFAST (10 € PER PERSON)
Also the light breakfast, significantly less generous than the superior breakfast, can be sweet or savory.
Both light breakfasts (sweet and savory) include a hot or cold beverage of your choice (coffee, cappuccino, latte, tea, Lecce coffee, juice, etc.) and a mix of fresh seasonal fruit (peach, grape, apricot, fig, melon, watermelon, etc.), but they differ in other respects.
The light sweet breakfast includes a dessert (pasticciotto Salentino, croissant).
The light savory breakfast, on the other hand, also includes a savory item (rustico, calzone, pizzo Salentino, focaccia Barese, puccia).
For a quicker and lighter breakfast, without sacrificing the typical Salento specialties, the light breakfast is the best choice to start your day in Salento.
