Located between Casarano and Ruffano and surrounded by countryside, this villa is the perfect place to kick back and relax. Inside, the home is a blend of contemporary and traditional, and you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay, while outdoors, it springs to life. Fragrant flowers provide a sense of serenity, while the private pool and hot tub are just the ticket when you want to unwind. Tempted by a sea day? It’s around a twenty-four-kilometre drive to Gallipoli, where the coast and authentic eateries await.
