In your own secluded haven, amongst four acres of three hundred olive trees, stands this jaw-dropping villa. Driving up to this characteristically Southern Italian home with its whitewashed walls and stone features will take your breath away. The home’s neutral palette is sophisticated epitomised while remaining homely and inviting. Guests absolutely love the privacy of this home, and they’ve noted that something precious particularly sticks out…the silence. Just you, your family, and the acres of olive trees. That is until someone starts blasting some poolside classics on the Bose speaker, but it’s all part of enjoying this beautiful home however you want to. Although secluded, there isn’t a compromise on safety. Groups can enjoy their holiday without having to worry about a single thing - a remote-controlled entry gate, alarm system, security service, and video doorbell ensure complete privacy and safety. Built in 1877 and renovated in 2017, guests are lucky enough to experience the rustic charm of Southern Italian architecture, complete with local tiles and ancient stone, as well as top-notch kitchen appliances and walk-in showers. The blend of old and new is so effortless. Bask in the sun, dip in the heated pool, and lounge under the stunning cabana, before...
