Located in the heart of Salento, this contemporary villa is an ideal base for family or friends on a Tuscan adventure. We love the modern interiors, with light flooding through the home and welcoming the outdoors in. And on the subject of the outdoors, you’re in for a treat with the garden here. Shaded dining areas, a private pool, sun-drenched terraces and palm trees swaying in the breeze – it’s impossible not to relax here. Locally, it’s also just four kilometres to the beautiful town of Santa Maria di Leuca where authentic Italian cuisine, beaches, and caves are waiting to be explored.
