Nestled in the lush, unspoiled heart of the Mediterranean scrubland, surrounded by ancient olive trees and the scents of myrtle and rosemary, this stunning traditional Salento-style villa rises gracefully in the countryside of Salve, just 2 km from the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian coast and boasting a captivating sea view.
Built with full respect for the region’s rural architectural heritage, the villa features classic barrel-vaulted ceilings, exposed tufo stone, bleached wooden beams, and tapered walls in the traditional “liama” style, giving the home an authentic and timeless charm.
At the heart of the villa is a spacious and bright living room with panoramic glass windows, offering uninterrupted views of the deep blue sea. Adjacent to it lies a custom-built kitchen, finished with natural materials and a masonry cooktop reminiscent of traditional Salento kitchens. The sleeping area includes a double bedroom, two elegant and functional bathrooms, and a truly unique master suite, built in the style of ancient “pajare”—traditional rural stone dwellings of the Salento region. Another standout feature is the trullo-shaped bedroom, with its striking exterior stone walls, evoking the rustic beauty of old country homes.
The handcrafted cocciopesto floors add warmth and authenticity to the interior spaces. The villa is equipped with fan coil units for both heating and cooling, and benefits from a private well for independent water supply, ensuring both comfort and sustainability.
Outside, the property is a true oasis: a stunning sea-view swimming pool, a stone-paved solarium, and a relaxation area shaded by a wrought iron structure adorned with climbing plants—perfect for enjoying long summer days surrounded by sun, nature, and silence.
A Unique Location between Torre Vado and Pescoluse
The villa enjoys a strategic location between two of the most beloved seaside destinations in Salento: Torre Vado, a peaceful and well-serviced marina known for its small tourist harbor, scenic seafront promenade, and crystal-clear waters; and Pescoluse, famous for its golden beaches and shallow waters, widely known as the “Maldives of Salento”, where fine sand and a Caribbean-like sea captivate all who visit.
An ideal residence for those seeking the authentic beauty of Salento, the tranquility of nature, and the comfort of a home crafted with love and deep respect for tradition.
