Magnificent villa nestled in the Salento countryside, just 1.5 km from the sea and 1.8 km from the center of Morciano di Leuca.
The villa completed five years ago sits on a plot of approximately 7,200 square meters, enclosed on three sides by traditional dry-stone walls.
The villa is designed in full respect of Salento’s architectural heritage and features tapered whitewashed walls and characteristic star-vaulted ceilings.
This stunning property is surrounded by a beautiful garden meticulously maintained and adorned with ornamental plants, flowers, olive and fruit trees.
The villa is divided into two separate units connected by a large, covered and fully furnished with outdoor furniture and a barbecue area patio. The patio covers an area of 40 square meters.
The main house consists of a spacious living and dining room with a built-in kitchen, a master bedroom and a bathroom.
The kitchen area brightened by a long horizontal window features a traditional cocciopesto (an ancient building material) countertop. This cozy space also includes a large fireplace and beautiful glass doors that create a seamless connection with the outdoors.
The second unit includes two large bedrooms, both with a mini-fridge, en-suite bathroom and direct access to the outdoor area.
The choice of materials and furnishings reflects a careful selection process of supplying items from both local and national markets.
One of the property’s several highlights is the outdoor patio—the heart of the house where most time is spent—equipped with a dining area, built-in sofas, outdoor seating and flowing white curtains providing shade from the summer sun.
Stone pathways lead to a beautiful, rectangular, heated pool (11.5 x 3.5 meters, 1.3 meters deep) completed with a hydro-massage corner and sunbathing area.
A little further on, a traditional stone path takes you to a beautifully restored Pajara (a Salento typical dry-stone hut), which has been transformed into a charming additional bedroom.
On the West side of the villa there is a service area featuring an outdoor shower enclosed by dry stone walls, a laundry corner and a clothes-drying area.
The villa is equipped with a 10 kW photovoltaic system with a 13 kW storage battery, Wi-Fi, alarm system, satellite TV, centralized heating and cooling system, greywater and blackwater sub-irrigation systems and an outdoor sound system.
A private artesian well ensures water supply for the house, garden and pool.
The villa has been successfully listed on the international summer rental market for the past three years enjoying great popularity among English, German, French and Swedish guest as well as visitors from other countries, always delivering excellent rental returns.
