Once a building used to transform grapes into wine, this historic Salento home is steeped in both history and tranquillity. From the waterfall in the swimming pool to the five hectares of diverse grounds (including orchards and herb gardens), there are plenty of places to find peace. In one of the original rooms where grapes were pressed, you'll find the spa and wellbeing area. There's also a fitness centre here, a bar for evening drinks on the sun terrace, and eco-friendly credentials. Breakfast is provided, and you can choose from a range of cuisines. When you're ready to venture out from this oasis in nature, Lecce is just a short drive away.
