Set in a residential area just 2km from the cultural and gastronomic delights of 17th century Lecce - ‘the Florence of the South’ - this striking villa stands in tiered lawned gardens, with ancient olive trees, shrubs and orange trees. A shaded seating area beside the private pool is complimented by a large al fresco seating and dining terrace beside the villa, with an outdoor kitchen. A second outdoor dining table basks in a sunny spot beside the house, and a door leads in from here to the villa’s contemporary kitchen with a high arched ceiling. The house has an airy vaulted sitting room and study area in white with huge picture window, a smart and modern dining room, several (satellite) TV’s, contemporary shower rooms, and four charming air-conditioned bedrooms, individually designed.

Just a quick drive to Lecce and only 15km - 25km from a choice of superb sandy beaches with beach clubs.
