Beyond the automatic gates and down the winding drive, you’ll find this charming stone-built villa. Enjoy the views over the lush, well-kept gardens from the hydromassage Jacuzzi with a glass of wine. Then enjoy a late lunch of focaccia, burrata, sun-ripened tomatoes and tangy olives at the alfresco dining area. Inside, you’ll find rustic features such as wooden beamed ceilings and exposed stonework. We love that the bedrooms open out onto the terrace. Located in the Specchia countryside, in Lower Salento – the village of Specchia, said to be one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, is 300 metres away. For a day at the beach, Pescoluse is just under 15 kilometres away, while Tricase Porto is just over 10 kilometres from this home.
