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.
Designed in full respect of Salento’s architectural heritage, the villa features tapered whitewashed walls and characteristic star-vaulted ceilings.
A beautifully landscaped garden, meticulously maintained and adorned with ornamental plants, flowers, olive trees, and fruit trees, frames this stunning property.
The villa is divided into two separate units, connected by a large covered patio, fully furnished with outdoor furniture and a barbecue area.
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 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, each with a mini-fridge and en-suite bathroom. Both rooms have direct access to the outdoor area.
The choice of materials and furnishings reflects a careful and ongoing selection process, sourcing pieces from both local and national markets.
One of the property’s many highlights is the outdoor patio—the heart of the home and where most time is spent—equipped with a dining area, built-in sofas, outdoor seating, and flowing white curtains that provide shade from the summer sun.
Stone pathways lead to a beautiful heated rectangular pool (11.5 x 3.5 meters, 1.3 meters deep), complete with a hydro-massage corner and sunbathing area.
A little further on, a traditional stone path takes you to a beautifully restored Pajara (a dry-stone hut typical of the region), 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, grey and black water management via sub-irrigation, and an outdoor sound system.
A private artesian well ensures water supply for the house, garden, and swimming pool.
For the past three years, the villa has been successfully listed on the international summer rental market, enjoying great popularity among English, German, French, and Swedish guests—as well as visitors from other countries—delivering excellent rental returns.
