Description

The Roca Oasis is located in the seaside town of Roca Vecchia, one of Melendugno's five marinas, along one of the most popular stretches of the Adriatic coast of Salento, between the towns of San Foca and Torre dell'Orso. It is a place of exceptional natural beauty, one of the most evocative in Salento, where the enchantment of the landscape blends with the fascination of history.
The entire complex, overlooking the sea, is immersed in the greenery of a splendid natural park spanning approximately ten hectares, opposite the archaeological site of Roca Vecchia and the famous Grotta della Poesia, considered one of the ten most beautiful natural pools in the world.

Inside the complex is the ancient summer seminary, the construction of which began in 1953 at the behest of the then bishop, His Excellency Monsignor Francesco Minerva, the first metropolitan of the Church of Lecce.
The facility is intended exclusively for socio-pastoral activities organized by parish institutions, associations, and non-profit Christian-inspired organizations with educational and social purposes.

The Oasi di Roca is not a hotel; the aim of the Foundation that manages it is to offer guests a simple and welcoming environment in an atmosphere of brotherhood, respect, and mutual cordiality.
No TV, no Wi-Fi: the only connection offered is the one between people!
It is the ideal place for groups wishing to hold school camps, but it is also open to families and individuals who wish to spend a short period of rest sharing the ideals of Christian and religious life.
The complex is completely fenced, and the large outdoor green spaces allow guests to enjoy a stay in complete freedom and absolute tranquility.

In addition to the natural beauty of the surrounding cliffs and sandy beaches, the location allows for cultural visits to Lecce, Otranto, Santa Maria di Leuca, and Alessano (the birthplace and burial place of the “Venerable” Don Tonino Bello).

Within 200 meters: church, bus stop. Within a residential area. Between 1 and 5 km: ATM, bar/restaurant, supermarket, pharmacy. Over 10 km: train station, airport, and hospital.

3 night minimum, Evening time restrictions, No smoking throughout the property, Pets not allowed .

The facility is exempt from the National Identification Code as it welcomes groups exclusively within its own pastoral activity.
