6 Bedrooms 

Location and Surrounding Area
Located in one of the most appreciated areas in Southern Apulia, just a few kilometres from the glorious coast, this exceptional five-bedroom villa is ideally situated to offer complete relaxation and privacy to its guests, providing an opulent escape for those who want to explore this exclusive area. Famous for its whitewashed towns, excellent food, dramatic coastal cliffs, and beautiful beaches, this region of southern Apulia features all the ingredients for the perfect vacation.

Bequeathed with baroque buildings by its 17th-century architects, the city of Lecce has a completeness and homogeneity that other southern Italian metropolises lack. Indeed, so distinctive is Lecce’s architecture that it has acquired its own moniker, "Lecce Baroque," an expressive and decorative incarnation of the genre replete with gargoyles, asparagus columns, and cavorting gremlins. Swooning 18th-century traveler Thomas Ashe thought it “the most beautiful city in Italy.”

Porto Cesareo sits on a prestigious part of the Ionian coast, enjoying a long stretch of beach and sparkling, clean seas. The popular seaside resort boasts an amazing 17 km of golden beach facing an archipelago of low-lying islands that form a protected bay. The water is calm and clear. Porto Cesareo is also home to a nature preserve, which is a marine protected area rich in flora and fauna with very rare species. Underwater excursions allow for the viewing of unique coral formations, turtles, seahorses, and other marine life.

In just thirty-five minutes by car, you can reach Gallipoli, whose name means “beautiful city.” The port has established it as a maritime town for centuries, and it still has an active fishing trade. It was a trade port with ties to the Orient, as seen in some decorations and touches around the town. The elegant old centre hints at its once-important past. The beaches are known throughout Italy as some of the cleanest around, with colourful rows of umbrellas and bright seafront bars and restaurants decorating them in the summer.
