Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Sitting pretty on a hillside, this whitewashed, stone brick villa sets the scene for a beautiful getaway. Nestled in the Puglian village of Santa Maria di Leuca, you’re in a wonderful position to explore the region. Puglia is known for its characteristic architecture, unique cuisine, and long-stretching coastline – the nearby towns of Gallipoli, Castro, Nardò, Otranto, and Lecce give you an insight into all three, and more. When you’re not exploring, let the hours blissfully roll by while you swap between the sun lounger and the shady day bed. Get lost in your current read, taking in the view of fields backed by the sea, and enjoy long swims in the pool, the scent of aromatic plants hanging in the air. If you follow the scent, you’ll find sprawling Mediterranean gardens of succulents and olive trees. Better yet, follow the sea view, and spend afternoons on a fine sandy beach. When dusk rolls around and the sky begins to twist into varying shades of orange, pink, and purple, the place to be is the dining table. Tuck into fresh barbecue dinners around the boho chic table, beneath the straw pergola, while the sky provides the night’s entertainment.
