Sitting directly on Salento's Ionian coastline, this villa puts the sea within less than a minute's walk – close enough that the outdoor shower gets serious use after a swim. Sea views extend from the living room, kitchen, and shaded terraces, so there's rarely a reason to look away from the water. Interiors are finished with marble and original artwork, giving the four bedrooms and shared spaces a considered, unhurried feel. The furnished terraces are well set up for long alfresco lunches and slower evenings as the light drops over the sea.
