The Resort is located on the promontory of the Torre San Giovanni countryside, a marina lined with white beaches and Caribbean-coloured sea; a perfect location to relax and enjoy the beauty of the area.

In a few years it has been transformed from a small fishing village into a lively seaside spot with a tourist vocation, among the most frequented in southern Salento.
In summer this small town surrounded by pine forests hosts numerous tourists attracted by the unparalleled beauty of its sea.

The name of this locality is due to the presence of a tower built in 1563 that originally served to guard this stretch of coast from attacks by foreign forces.

In the same area, the remains of the Roman port of Auxentum (active during the 4th-2nd century B.C. as a military port of call) have come to light, and in front of a small island known as Isola delle Pazze, traces of a prehistoric settlement dating back to the early Iron Age.
In any case, its history is as old as the town of Ugento and in fact, in addition to the Roman port, the remains of Messapian walls from the 6th century B.C. have also been found here, hinting at the importance of this port in supplying Ozan (Ugento), what was perhaps the most important Messapian centre ever.
