In recent years, Borgo Mulino a Vento has developed a series of initiatives aimed at reducing its environmental impact and promoting sustainability, constantly looking towards the future. Among the eco-friendly practices adopted are the elimination of single-use plastics, the reduction of water and electricity consumption, separate waste collection, and policies aimed at recycling and reuse. The company promotes the use of local and organic food, including produce from its own garden, and invests in sustainable mobility with zero-emission vehicles and electric charging stations. These integrated actions represent a concrete model of environmental responsibility, with the aim of combining tourism and agricultural production with the protection of the territory, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy in harmony with the natural environment of Salento.
Borgo Mulino a Vento welcomes guests to the tranquillity of the Salento countryside, in Uggiano la Chiesa, just a few minutes from the turquoise waters of Porto Badisco and the magical town of Otranto. The village has been brought to life thanks to the skilful renovation of an ancient rural area, where the 16th-century underground oil mill still tells the story of the land that surrounds it. Here, tradition is not just a memory, but a way of life: natural materials, architectural restoration and environmentally friendly practices define a conscious hospitality that respects and enhances the territory.
The rooms, all with independent entrances, are intimate retreats inspired by the colours of local stone, clear skies and olive groves. Airy spaces, natural light and verandas overlooking the Mediterranean garden create a harmonious dialogue between contemporary comfort and nature. At the centre of the resort, the swimming pool opens up like an oasis surrounded by native plants: a place where time seems to slow down, between refreshing swims, cocktails prepared with local ingredients and sunsets that paint the countryside pink. The restaurant celebrates the richness of Apulian cuisine through zero-kilometre products, often harvested from the resort's own vegetable garden, which produces organic, seasonal crops and a culinary philosophy that values what the land has to offer. The experiences on offer also follow this vision: tours of the oil mill, tastings, excursions and bike rides invite guests to discover Salento at a leisurely pace, with full respect for the surrounding environment.
With its discreet and attentive hospitality, Borgo Mulino a Vento is not just a destination, but an authentic and conscious way to experience the beauty of Salento.
