SLEEP NEAR UGENTO: PATU, PEARL OF THE SALENTO HINTERLAND
If you want to sleep near Ugento and its beaches without sacrificing silence and tranquility, Patù is the place you are looking for. The hinterland offers breathtaking views and scents: the red color of the earth, the expanses of olive trees, the trulli. A combination of natural and archaeological wonders, an area full of surprises.
Patù is a real journey into Salento archaeology. The birth of the village dates back to 924 BC, at the hands of a group of fugitives from nearby Vereto, an ancient city destroyed by the Saracens. Known for the unique monument of medieval origin “Centopietre,” built with blocks from a Roman mausoleum, it also has ancient walls, burials and small temples.
