Tucked among fragrant citrus gardens in the Baroque town of Nardò, this 17th-century home blends original architecture with modern comfort. You're just moments from the lively Piazza Salandra and a host of excellent restaurants, bars, and cafes. Inside, vaulted ceilings, antique tiles, and airy spaces create a relaxed, elegant atmosphere. One bedroom even has its own additional kitchen for extra independence. Outside, leafy terraces, shady nooks, and a small saltwater pool with a jacuzzi invite you to unwind. The outdoor spaces are spread across different levels, so there are a few steps to climb – but the views of the town are worth it. With food, culture, and sunshine all around you, this is a soulful and stylish escape in the heart of southern Italy.

While one of the bathrooms isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
