Gym
You are right, holidays mean relax and our hotel is the right place to avoid stress. Unfortunately, because of its delicious food and wonderful wines, Salento can make you gain weight and feel even more tired than before the journey. This is why we have thought about creating a gym so you can train and stay healthy. The gym has been recovered from the previous warehouse underground, just below the breakfast room. It is quite fresh and equipped with some basic gym tools, free weights, exercise bikes and travelators. Are you ready to train?
