Perched on the Puglian coastline with the Mediterranean stretching out in front of you, this villa earns its place on the Salento coast with an uninterrupted sea view that guests have described as impossible to tire of watching. The heated pool on the terrace makes it easy to lose track of time, with the barbecue close at hand for long alfresco evenings. Castro's medieval castle and its shops are a fifteen-minute walk, Castro Marina's turquoise waters are nine minutes on foot, and the extraordinary Zinzulusa sea cave is fourteen minutes away.
