Chic and contemporary, this villa invites a sense of serenity from the moment you step through the door. We love the open plan layout, perfect for socialising with loved ones, while the bedrooms provide a cosy sanctuary at the end of the day. Outdoors, there’s plenty of space to make the most of the sunny climate, and a private pool for a refreshing dip when things get a little warm. When you’re ready to explore, Ugento offers culture and history, or you can enjoy the sandy beaches of Torre San Giovanni, less than 10 minutes away.
