Villa Dolce Volpe

Set in such palatial, private grounds, you’d hardly believe this traditional Masseria home is just a five-minute drive from the fine sandy beach and five kilometres from the history-rich baroque town of Lecce. Inside, the farmhouse interiors are bang up-to-date, with walk-in shower rooms in every bedroom and an adjoining self-contained bedroom annexe should you fancy a little extra privacy. The villa's owners live unobtrusively behind the house and are always happy to suggest local day trips and tips for dining out. They then like to take a step back so you can feel the home is truly yours.

Home truths:
*There is a covered parking area with a rechargeable car port on-site.
*Along with the three bedrooms in the main house, there is an adjoining annexe with a bedroom, en suite shower room, an open-plan living area with a double sofa bed and a kitchenette. This is accessed via a separate entrance.
*The twin beds can be converted to doubles on request.
*A cot and high chair are provided for little ones.
*Your nearest supermarket to pick up essentials is in San Cataldo or Lecce, a fifteen-minute drive.
