This modern and stylish home offers the perfect backdrop for happy holidays exploring stunning Santa Maria del Focallo. Based just 80 metres from the Blue Flag awarded beach, you’ll be perfectly placed for beach days, and close to lots of other Italian beaches and seaside towns along the coast. The home has been recently renovated in a contemporary style, with lots of little touches and details that make it feel special, such as the nest swing, flowing white curtains and funky art pieces. You also have your own private pool – rare to find for smaller homes – which make it easy to cool off from the Italian heat. We recommend you start your morning with a coffee out in your peaceful sitting area, and wait for the sun to come up while you decide how to spend your day. Cook up an Italian breakfast of ricotta pancakes, and dine together around the dining set on your shaded terrace. As the sun rises, lay back on a lounger and enjoy the sunshine, or enjoy a refreshing dip in your private pool. Take the short walk down to the beautiful beach for sea swimming and sunbathing, and find welcoming Italian bars where you can sip on an Aperol Spritz in the sun. Head back to your abode and fire up the barbecue, and grill up some Italian sausages and veggies to enjoy alfresco.
