Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Surrounded by the countryside of Salento, this home is the definition of luxury. Flowerbeds and sun loungers frame the private pool, and the outdoor kitchen is accompanied by several alfresco dining spots. The guest house is ideal for couples wanting a little extra privacy, and there's plenty of space for large groups to spread out and for kids to explore. While the home's owner lives on the basement level, it's only the entry gate that's shared and you'll have exclusive access to the rest of the house and the outdoors.

Home truths
There is plenty of space on the driveway to park here for free. Due to this home's location, you'll want a car for your stay.
This home is made up of a main house which sleeps six guests, and an annexe which sleeps two.
If you're travelling with little ones, you'll need to bring your own cot and high chair. Children should also be supervised when exploring outside, as there are railings with gaps.

The town of Maglie is just 2km away where you can pick up essentials.
We think some areas are a little dated and could do with a refresh. In particular, the tiles in one of the bathrooms look a bit tired.
