This whitewashed home offers a slice of authentic Salento living. With arched ceilings, stone floors, and minimal interiors, it channels that classic Puglian aesthetic while staying cool and bright.

And when it’s time to explore, you’re ideally placed for day trips to the historic town of Castro, the crystal waters of Santa Cesarea Terme, and the dramatic coastline of the Adriatic.
