Welcome to this cosy retreat, surrounded by age-old olive trees. Time seems to have stopped here – the traditional exterior and interiors hark back to a bygone era, and we love the open fireplace. Sure, like most older homes, this place has its quirks. But you do have mod cons like a beautiful swimming pool, an outdoor stereo system, barbecue and kitchen area. The garden is a paradise – our favourite spot has to be the vine-covered gazebo. If you can tear yourself away, explore the nearby Castellana Grotte or head to the coast.
