There’s a reason people base themselves in Matino and never run out of things to do.

From here, the whole of Salento opens up - two coastlines, countless towns, and some of the most beautiful corners of southern Italy, all within an easy drive.

Spend a morning in Gallipoli, the island city ringed by turquoise water. Lose an afternoon in Lecce, where every façade is carved in golden baroque. Drive east to Otranto, the easternmost town in Italy, with its ancient castle and mosaic cathedral. Stand at the very tip of the country in Santa Maria di Leuca, where two seas meet. And when you just want the perfect beach day, Punta Prosciutto and its white Caribbean sand are 20 minutes away.

Five unforgettable places. One perfect base.

This is the quiet magic of staying in Matino - you’re never far from anything.

“The most authentic Salento - no crowds, just narrow old streets and real Italian atmosphere.”

That’s how Dariusz described his stay. And he noticed exactly the things that make L’Antica Corte what it is.

The spacious patio that becomes the heart of the evening - the place to linger over dinner the way Italians do, with no reason to rush. The quiet streets of the old town, where you feel the real Salento rather than the tourist version of it. And the location that puts the best of the coast within easy reach - the cliffs, the clear water, the natural rock pools he couldn’t stop talking about.

This is exactly what L’Antica Corte was meant to be. Not just a place to sleep, but a base for the kind of trip you remember.

Grazie, Dariusz. 🍋

This is how we say welcome.

A bottle of local Salento rosé, taralli still smelling of olive oil, peppery spreads and olive pesto from just down the road - a little basket waiting to greet you when you arrive.

Because staying at L’Antica Corte was never meant to feel like checking into a hotel. It’s Italian hospitality the way it should be: warm, personal, and full of small touches you didn’t ask for but won’t forget. We always try to make your stay something special - because to us, you’re not a booking. You’re a guest in our home.

Come and feel the difference.

Some of the best discoveries are the ones right under your nose.

Just a short walk from L’Antica Corte sits Parabita - a town so close to Matino you could stroll there before dinner, yet with a character entirely its own. Golden stone streets, a 14th-century castle, baroque churches and the kind of lived-in piazza that comes alive once the sun drops.

It’s also one of the oldest inhabited places in Salento. The famous Venus figurines found in the caves nearby date back over 12,000 years - proof that people have been falling for this little corner of Puglia since the Stone Age.

Stay with us, and days like this are simply part of the deal. No plans, no rush - just a town worth discovering, waiting a few streets over.

Some places you remember for what you saw. Salento, you’ll remember for what you ate.

This is a cuisine born from simple things - flour, chickpeas, wild greens, whatever the sea gave that morning. Food that farmers and fishermen made stretch, season after season, until necessity turned into something you’d cross a continent for.

Every dish here carries a story. Arab traders who passed through centuries ago. Grandmothers who still fry the pasta by hand. Festa days when the whole town smells of slow-cooked sugo. Mornings that don’t begin until the first warm pastry is on the table.

This is the real Salento - and it’s best discovered one plate at a time.

Come hungry. Leave happy.

Long before it had a name, Matino had the sun.

The ancient Greeks called this place Apeneste - "the one that rises." The Romans made it Matinum and dedicated it to Mater Matuta, goddess of the dawn. And when the Normans later gave the town its coat of arms, they chose the only image that made sense: a sun, rising between two hills.

Nine hundred years of history can be traced from a single document dated 1099 - the first written proof of Matino as a living town. From there, the centuries layered themselves one by one. Norman counts and French barons. The noble families who rose and fell. And finally, in the 1600s, the Marchesi Del Tufo, whose palazzo still stands at the heart of the old town.

What they left behind is rare: a historic centre that survived almost untouched - a near-perfect example of medieval Mediterranean town-building, its narrow alleys and courtyards looking much as they did centuries ago.

This is where L'Antica Corte lives. Not beside Matino's history - inside it.

The town of the rising sun is still rising. Come and watch it wake.

"The location is perfect, and Magda - the owner - is genuinely welcoming. She's a licensed tour guide too, so make the most of it!"

That's what one of our guests wrote. And honestly, it's the part we love most.

Because staying at L'Antica Corte was never meant to be just about the room. It's about having someone who knows this corner of Salento by heart - where to go, what to see, which beach, which w**ery, which little town the guidebooks never mention. Magda doesn't just hand you the keys. She helps you discover the real Salento.

And the mornings? Pasticciotto, cornetto, cappuccino, fresh fruit and so much more - breakfast made to start the day slowly.

A beautiful B&B in the heart of Matino, and a host who makes all the difference.

Grazie for the kind words. 🍋

Everyone comes to Salento in summer. But ask a local which month is best, and they'll tell you something that surprises most tourists: November.

The beaches empty out. The light turns soft and golden, the kind photographers chase all year. The days stay mild enough to cycle through olive groves and quiet country roads with nothing but the sound of your own wheels.

And then there's the harvest. November is when the olive mills run day and night, when olio nuovo - bright green and peppery - is pressed fresh and tasted on warm bread. When the cellars open their doors and the year's first w**e is poured straight from the barrel. When all of Salento gathers for Festa di San Martino on the 11th, and the old towns fill with roasted chestnuts, music and new w**e.

This is Salento the way the people who live here love it most. Slower, warmer, more real.

Come and see it for yourself.
