About this property
This traditional Masseria dates back to the 16th century, but now showcases itself as a luxury villa in Puglia, set on a private estate in the Salento countryside just 15 minutes from the surf and sand of Torre Lapillo beach.
Light, bright, open and airy, the inviting interior spaces will make you feel right at home. Five cozy bedrooms each come with an en suite bathrooms and a flat-screen TV for movie nights in bed. Host meals in the formal dining room, or casually dine at the breakfast table in the charming kitchen. For extraordinary views, head up the winding staircase to the upper terrace overlooking the estate’s own vineyards.
Soak up sun from the comfort of your own ‘island’ oasis out back; the sun loungers lining the decked pool area are encompassed by 200 hectacres of olive groves and vineyards. There are plenty of outdoor lounge spaces to relax with a glass of wine or dine alfresco, and wine aficionados will love the wine cellar and wine museum located on the estate.
Though the secluded location is ideal for a restful Italian holiday, day trips to Lecce, with its distinctive baroque buildings, boutiques, and papier-mâché traditions are a must!
