Savelletri di Fasano Holidays

Holidays in Savelletri di Fasano, a tiny village which is officially part of the town of Fasano, give you the tranquillity of a tiny village with the larger town of Fasano nearby. The village is around 7km from the main town and sits on the coast of the Puglia region on the 'heel' of Italy. Savelletri di Fasano is the ideal place for getting away from it all. There are plenty of beach and sea activities to indulge in, including diving and snorkelling, but the otherwise slow pace of life makes this the ideal place for couples and those seeking to relax. An evening stroll along the idyllic harbour front is the perfect way to round off a warm summer day, while the village's restaurants offer delicious local food combined with charming sea views.

Less than 15 minutes’ travel away is the town of Fasano itself, which is an altogether livelier place. Families will enjoy the town's many attractions, such as the Fasano Zoo and Safari Park. There are ruins dating from Roman times at Scavi D’Egnazia, as well as plenty of other historical sights worth visiting. If you want to travel further afield, the larger cities of Bari and Brindisi are roughly equidistant from Savelletri di Fasano along the coast.
