The designers of this modern home have instilled character with quirky artworks, picture windows and bold pops of colour. A perfect blend of contemporary styling and natural scenery, it's an escapist paradise by the sea. There's an almost tropical look to the gardens, with a superb private pool, huge agaves and glimpses of the clear Ionian Sea on the horizon. Take a deep breath and allow yourself to fully embrace the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle. An adults-only home, it sleeps up to six in calm, cool bedrooms – each of which is en-suite. There are a number of outdoor seating areas, a well kitted-out, modern kitchen and a huge outdoor dining table on the covered terrace – perfect for evening meals as the sun sets. Set in the Porto Selvaggio nature reserve, the rolling countryside continues to the shore where you'll find pristine waters perfect for swimming in. The nearest beach is just minutes away on foot, and a little further away you'll find a summer lido with a bar and sun loungers. For architecture lovers who want to learn more about the area's history, take a ten-minute drive to Nardò where you will find not only find stunning Baroque churches but also... get a real taste of Italy with excellent local cuisine.
