The Location
In the heart of Santa Maria di Leuca, among historic architecture and the scent of the sea, stands Torri dell’Acqua, a unique restaurant housed in a former rainwater collection tower. A structure of historical value, now fully restored with a contemporary touch, where the understated elegance of modern design enhances the original character without altering its identity.
Architecture, Atmosphere, Experience
Each level of the tower offers a different experience, in a vertical journey that leads guests through bright spaces, evocative views, and intimate atmospheres. The recent restyling has brought light, harmony, and sophistication to the interiors, respecting the soul of the original structure and turning it into the ideal setting for those seeking a restaurant with architectural charm and a strong identity.
The Outdoor Veranda
The experience begins on the outdoor veranda, welcoming guests on milder evenings with soft lighting and the gentle air of the village.
The Ground Floor
The ground floor opens into the first dining room: spacious interiors, minimalist furnishings, neutral tones, and details that balance comfort and style. Here you’ll also find the elegant and discreet bar corner—perfect for an aperitif or a quiet moment immersed in the ambiance of the place.
Sala Ionio
As you go up, you’ll find the Sala Ionio on the second floor: bright and refined, with large windows and clean lines. It’s the ideal space for a more intimate dinner, where the view opens up toward the horizon.
Sala Adriatico
Even more intimate, the Sala Adriatico on the third floor is distinguished by its distinctive porthole windows, which frame the natural light and create a quiet, almost muffled atmosphere—an ideal choice for a romantic dinner or a special occasion.
Attico
The highest point of the experience is undoubtedly the Attico – Panoramic Roof Garden, a true gem suspended between sky and sea. Time seems to slow down here, as the sea breeze brushes your face and the view stretches across the beauty of Santa Maria di Leuca. Whether for a sunset aperitif or a dinner under the stars, this is a space that leaves a lasting impression—with no need for excess.
La Tavernetta
Completing the journey is la Tavernetta: hidden, cozy, and precious. With its stone barrel vaults and warm tones, it offers a more intimate and authentic atmosphere, almost subterranean—perfect for private moments, tastings, or simply for those seeking a timeless setting.
Beyond the Restaurant
Torri dell’Acqua Restaurant is more than just a restaurant. It’s a place to explore, to live, and to remember. An experience that blends space and flavor, form and substance, hospitality and storytelling.
