Coastal charm and cuisine in Gallipoli’s old town
Set within Gallipoli’s atmospheric island old town, Al Pescatore places you a few steps from the waterfront ramparts, the lively fish market, and the honey-stoned lanes leading to baroque churches and sunset viewpoints. Cross the bridge to the modern borgo for boutiques, gelaterie and easy links to Baia Verde’s soft-sand beaches and beach clubs. Boat trips to hidden coves leave from the nearby marina, while the Castello Angioino and Rivellino host exhibitions and open-air events in summer.
Back at base, the hotel’s namesake restaurant is the headline act: think raw and grilled seafood, spaghetti alle vongole, and Puglian specialties paired with chilled Salento wines. A relaxed bar is on hand for pre-dinner aperitivi, and a shady patio makes an inviting spot to linger after beach time. Practical touches – concierge assistance for scooters, bikes and boat charters, free Wi-Fi, and luggage storage – keep city-to-sea days seamless.
When the golden hour hits, stroll the bastions for postcard views, then drift back for dinner under the stars. With its best-of-both-worlds location and standout cucina di mare, Al Pescatore is a deliciously easy base for exploring Gallipoli’s beaches, history, and slow, sun-drenched rhythm
