The guests can also benefit of a packed lunch cooked for them on request instead of a meal. For the guests that care about their diet even while on holiday, the restaurant offers healthy and light foods. The chefs will periodically serve typical apulian specialties and gastronomic surprises. The four air-conditioned dining rooms are connected to each other by a wide room with a buffet table. The tables have place mats and are assigned at the moment of the arrival at the Village; they have 8/9 seats and are often shared with other guests (for those who choose the Comfort room, the table is reserved). Torreserena is particularly careful for the guests with food intolerances (gluten, lactose, eggs). There is the possibility for the parents to cook for their babies in a specific kitchen, practical, functional and available 24/7; the basic ingredients are available during the hours of the main meals. 

Locality
Marina di Ginosa is a coastal village 40 km far from Taranto and 25 km far from Ginosa. For the quality of its sea and sandy beaches, the FEE awarded Marina di Ginosa with a "Bandiera blu" many times during the last decades: 1995, 1997, 1998, from 1999 to 2001 and from 2004 to 2017. It also received "3 Vele Blu" from Legambiente for the 2009 summer season. The most characteristic feature of its beaches is the mediterranean scrub that frames the entire coastline. These pinewoods are included in the natural reserve "Pineta dell'Arco Ionico".

Places to know and visit
Salinella lake, 3 km far from the center, reachable walking on Viale Ionio towards the Bradano river, crossing the old toll booth on the left. In 1994 it was included on the list of the protected areas and recommended by the Società Botanica Italiana as "place that deserves preservation". It lies where, in the past, there was the Bradano river, thar altered its course after various earthquakes. Surrounded by a wonderful pinewood (pines of Aleppo and Domestico), th 90 hectare lake is the last swamp of the Ionian amphitheater. Its marine fauna is extremely rich and the area is also a shelter for numerous swamp birds such as the herring gull, the linnet, the calandra lark, the moorhen, the reed bunting, the heron.

The Pineta Regina, 400 hectares. The vegetation of this coastal pinewood is characterized by the rich presence of a typical mediterranean conifer, the pine of Aleppo (pinus halepensis), some white poplars and an odoriferous scrub consisting of lentisco, rosemary, alterno, firillea and stingy asparagus. There are also rockrose and juniper bushes. The "colombaccio" builds its nest here and many species of migratory birds can be observed.

Torre Mattoni, brick tower. Situated on the Ionian coast, near the Salinella lake, it owes its name to the cotto tiles used to build it and is among the coastal defensive towers wanted by the Vicerè of the Regno di Napoli in the sixteenth century in order to protect the land from the turkish invaders coming from the sea.
