Sira Rooftop Bar

On our rooftop, every detail evokes the Salento dolce vita: the unhurried rhythm of an aperitivo, the pleasure of conversation, the simple yet refined gesture of a carefully crafted cocktail. The city becomes a backdrop, while the golden stone of Santa Croce glows in the light of sunset, accompanying the most enjoyable moments of the day.
