Fine Dining Experience
La Terrazza sul Mare and Il Borgo are the exclusive à la carte restaurants of Marenea Suite Hotel, where guests can savour dishes that pay tribute to the rich culinary heritage of Salento, a land abundant in aromas and flavours from both sea and countryside.
La Terrazza sul Mare boasts a breathtaking view over the Adriatic Sea, stretching to the horizon and evoking stories of distant shores such as Greece and Albania.
Il Borgo, nestled among olive trees in the charming pajara area, is the perfect setting for elegant and relaxing al fresco dining.
Here, tradition comes to life through simple, authentic ingredients: legumes, dried broad beans, wild greens, wild rocket, spring onions, the distinctive “scattarisciato” tomato, and traditional fried “muersi”.
Alongside these, Adriatic blue fish, local dairy products such as ricotta forte, and aromatic herbs from the Mediterranean scrub – mint, thyme, borage and mallow – enhance each dish with their intense and unmistakable fragrances.
A cuisine that follows the rhythm of the seasons and celebrates high-quality ingredients, expressing the true essence of the territory, while also embracing international influences to create a refined balance between tradition and creativity.
All of this is complemented by an extensive wine selection, carefully curated to enhance every culinary experience.

Our breakfast will delight you with the quality and abundance of fresh, exquisite products available each morning to start your day in the best possible way: fresh fruit, freshly squeezed juices, fruit juices, artisanal jams, yogurt, locally sourced dairy products, fresh bread, croissants, traditional pasticciotti and small pastries, homemade cakes, and a wide selection of savoury options.
In addition, an à la carte menu is available, featuring more internationally inspired dishes such as freshly prepared eggs and pancakes.
At Marenea Suite Hotel, breakfast is a true philosophy of life: enjoying your holiday with lightness and ease in every moment—ideally with your gaze lost in the sea.
Light Lunch, served daily from 12:00 to 15:30 in the sea-view lounge area or by the pool (at an extra charge), allows you to fully embrace the relaxation that a stay at Marenea Suite Hotel has to offer. Guests can enjoy a wide selection of gourmet sandwiches, fresh salads, fruit, and light, flavourful dishes prepared by our chef and his team, to be savoured comfortably on poolside loungers or at shaded tables, accompanied by the gentle Mediterranean breeze and the sound of cicadas.
The snack menu, available from 15:30 to 18:30, is perfect for an indulgent afternoon break—ideal for satisfying a light craving between moments of relaxation.
Dinner at Marenea Suite Hotel is perhaps the most enchanting moment of the day.
