Morciano di Leuca: Location and surroundings of this property

Living in Morciano di Leuca is simple and healthy. It is like being part of a widespread community, made up of neighborhoods, interspersed with large gardens cultivated like vegetable gardens. Its extension, added to that of the neighboring municipalities, Salve, Patù, Castrignano del Capo and Alessano is equal to the extension of the municipality of Ugento alone. Morciano's population is a little over three thousand and with its neighbors, it comes to twenty thousand. These numbers are objectively modest. Yet in this area are charm, attractions and all the rurality of Mediterranean Italy concentrated. It is no coincidence that there is a union of Capo di Leuca municipalities that enhances cultural and administrative aspects of common interest. The municipality of Morciano alone has two hamlets: Barbarano and Torre Vado. Despite its size, Barbarano manages to convey all the rural and ancient flavor. The Capece tower towers in the center and around it courtyards and old houses close in an embrace. People live with simplicity, and the inhabitants read wonder and happiness in the eyes of travelers and foreigners who have decided to live in these places. Torre Vado can boast a dash of extra nightlife during the summer. Just the right measure not to completely lose touch with the rest of the world. The character, however, remains that of a fishing locality, where it is possible to take a boat to visit the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca, or take a walk along the renovated and scenic waterfront, along with the small port area where the tower that gives the locality its name soars. Together with the neighboring resorts of Posto Vecchio (Salve) and Felloniche (Patù) they make up a single, south-facing waterfront with unparalleled water and a temperature that almost never drops below 15 degrees in winter.
