About this house

After six years of restoration, this extraordinary residence in the heart of Salento has been transformed into a sanctuary of mindful living. With ten elegant rooms, an apartment, and a suite, every space invites deep relaxation and connection with nature. Here, you can rediscover your inner rhythm among centuries-old olive groves and organic gardens.

The inner courtyard, shaded by a white wisteria pergola, welcomes you for breakfast prepared with produce from your own gardens. The rooftop bar offers panoramic views of Salento's sunsets, while the poolside bar nestles among the olive trees. Discover the games room with billiards and table tennis or retreat to the library for moments of contemplation. The professional kitchen is not accessible to guests but only to chefs provided by the villa at an extra cost, or guests can bring their own chef.

Five hectares of natural beauty await you with sensory trails through fragrant groves and centuries-old olive groves. The organic gardens provide fresh fruit and vegetables. Three small lakes collect rainwater, while the phytopurification lagoon supports a self-sufficient ecosystem guided by ecological principles. Children under the age of 16 are only allowed if accompanied by one or more babysitters.

Lecce, the capital of Italian Baroque, is a must-see destination a short distance away. Explore the coasts of Otranto and Gallipoli, discover the trulli of Alberobello or the elegant streets of Ostuni. To the south, Santa Maria di Leuca, Castro, and Tricase offer glimpses of the crystal-clear sea. Salento awaits you with its unique cultural and scenic richness.
