The beaches of the Salento region of Puglia are renowned for their white sands and crystal-clear waters (which are truly spectacular, so bring your snorkel). If you fancy staying within walking distance of all that (a short stroll through a grove of pine trees, without the need to cross any roads), Riva di Ugento Camping Resort might be the spot for you. Right on the Ionian Sea, this site is popular with families, thanks to its gently sloping beach and its mini and teens’ clubs, which ought to keep the kids busy while you catch up on your reading – or sample the delicious local wines… Watersports are the main draws, whether you want to hire a canoe, learn to surf or have a go at riding an inflatable towed by a speedboat. You can also have a game of tennis, enjoy a good stretch with a yoga class (daily sessions in July and August) or hire a bike to explore the pine forest and nearby coastal villages like Torre San Giovanni (15 minutes by bike). An outdoor pool with a paddling area is also available (extra fees apply). Come sunset, gather for aperitivo at the poolside bar, which arranges DJ sets and live music, as well as cinema evenings. The supermarket sells fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese. But why cook? You’re on holiday, so let the restaurant take the strain, and sample the selection of seafood dishes, local specialities and pizzas on offer. Modern toilet blocks have facilities for disabled guests and free hot-water showers. There’s also a launderette.

Local attractions

The rugged coastline around Santa Maria di Leuca (half an hour’s drive) is dotted with sea grottoes, which you can explore on a boat excursion. Climb up to the early 18th-century Santuario di Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae, atop a promontory where you can admire both the Adriatic and Ionian seas, which converge here. The spectacular Baroque architecture of Lecce (50 minutes) has earned this city the moniker of ‘Florence of the South’. Check out the ornate façade of the Basilica di Santa Croce, then go further back in time at the well-preserved Roman Amphitheatre, or take a shaded breather at the elegant Giardini Pubblici Giuseppe Garibaldi park. Those in need of a little pampering should head to Santa Cesarea Terme (55 minutes), a spa town known for its health-giving sulphurous waters. The town is dominated by the oriental-style dome of Palazzo Sticchi, a faux Moorish palace built in the late 19th century.
