This historic farmhouse is nestled in the quiet countryside of Salento among the dry stone walls, vineyards and olive groves. A recent restoration has converted it into three apartments, which can be rented separately or together. We love the modern spin on the traditional farmhouse, the simple white color scheme, with splashes of tile and glass, as well as decorative farm tools. It has a fabulous pool, and better still it’s also only a few hundred meters from the pristine sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea.

Description
Faithful restoration has brought this traditional Italian farmhouse back to life, offering guests the charm of country living with all the creature comforts of modern life. Its owners describe it as a place where time stands still and life flows slowly, between the scent of herbs, the colors of the Mediterranean, and the sweet, soothing song of the cicadas.
The interiors are whitewashed stone with vaulted ceilings, and are furnished in the typical Apulian style, with local ceramics, glassware and candles. The built-in stone beds are a stunning feature, as are the simple objects found around the property, from religious statues to ladders, keys and cowbells. The farm tools – scythes, saws and lots of intriguingly-shaped implements – are a quirky and entertaining choice of decor. The outdoor space consists of a lavish swimming pool and Jacuzzi for 5 people, surrounded in cabanas, shaded dining tables and beautiful stone sofas; at guests disposal: outdoor shower, washing machine, bicycles. And surrounding that are acres of olive groves, leading eventually to the sea.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Optional meals, barbecues, catering on request with prices to be mutualy agreed. Rates include final cleaning and linens change (extra linens at €5 per perosn on request, extra cleaning €10 pr hour). The farm is composed of three apartments, each with an independent entrance, private bathroom and fully-equipped kitchen. Each has air conditioning. One apartment has a double, single and sofabed. The second has two built-in sofabeds and a double bed. The third has a single sofabed and a double bed. The kitchens have stoves, ovens, refrigerator/freezers, microwave ovens, toasters, and espresso/cappuccino makers. There are also 32″ LED TVs, DVD/Blu-Ray players, irons and hairdryers. There is a washing machine outside for all guests.
AROUND
The property is located in the very south of Italy’s mainland, in the heel of the boot, between the cities of Brindisi, Taranto and Lecce. The Salento coast is a great destination for a beach and driving holiday. Don’t miss Lecce, which is described as the Florence of the south because of its beautiful Renaissance architecture. The wines of Puglia, many of which are organic, are very popular, as is the local olive oil.

This is a pearl of a house where much attention has been paid to. The reception was very good and the communication despite our limited Italian and preparation for the region, we were so well advised on our way to beautiful places and fine restaurants. At the end of April, the season is still quit, but that gave a lot of rest! We had a wonderful week..

The interior and the styling are truly amazing. Outside, it’s a party to sit on all the beautiful sofas, sunbeds. Rarely seen such a beautiful place!

We stayed at the Country House for one week in July 2016. We were two families with each one daughter, aged 6 and 8. The house is truly lovely, even better than the photos. So much space for everyone and the interiors are just beautiful as are the terraces and the pool area.
Surroundings and the proximity to the beach make it the perfect vacation house.
Thank you for a lovely stay! We are coming back for sure.
All the best

Fantastic location for my birthday!
I chose this location to celebrate my fiftieth birthday. The farm surrounded by olive trees has been refurbished in a fine and elegant way preserving the simple and typical style of the Apulian rural buildings. It features three apartments with a large patio with stone seating and white tables. The relaxation area with swimming pool and Jacuzzi has wooden beds for the curtains, strictly white, very large and comfortable. The very warm and discreet outdoor lighting makes the evening atmosphere truly unique. The owners are attentive to every detail and are very good at identifying and advising catering solutions to complete the package in an impeccable way. Everything was perfect. It is definitely a level holiday facility but it can be a wonderful location to celebrate exclusive and unforgettable events.

Beautiful accommodation …
You do not need more. Giant estate surrounded by olive trees. Nice pool, fantastic peace. Hidden away. Owner Francesco takes care of himself. The pictures really show what you find. In the village supermarket and many greengrocers. Here you get everything you need. The sea is 5 minutes away by car.
