Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A restored villa in the heart of Leverano, this house is built around a private courtyard pool framed by terracotta walls and prickly pear cactus – the kind of place where the day naturally slows down. Ancient vaulted ceilings and original patterned flooring run through the interiors, with two living rooms and a rustic kitchen that feel rooted in the Salento region. Each bedroom has its own en-suite, and the courtyard is set up for long alfresco evenings with a barbecue and dining area. Surrounded by the vineyards of the Leverano DOC wine region, with Lecce's Baroque streets twenty minutes away and some of Puglia's clearest beaches within easy reach.
