This large villa, which can sleep up to 15 people, is set in extensive grounds, in quiet countryside, but just 15 minutes from the Adriatic coast. With a private pool and beautifully appointed outside space, it is the ideal destination for family or friends who want to relax in private, but also go out and explore the glorious Salento peninsula.
Access to the villa is via impressive gates and a long drive that leads up to the main entrance. There is a large living area, full of light thanks to the double-height ceiling, furnished with a wooden dining table, a fireplace, an armchair and flat-screen TV. There is a door which opens onto the swimming pool terrace at the back of the house.
The separate kitchen is adjacent to the dining area and is equipped with a cooker hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and coffee machine.
The outdoor spaces have been created, with as much care and attention as the interiors. To the side of the house, near the swimming pool, there is a spacious loggia with stone floors and pillars. Here guests can dine al fresco at a large dining table. There is also a second kitchen which has a cooker hob, a sink and a BBQ outside.
The private swimming pool has two fountains which are excellent for hydro massages. There are sun loungers and large umbrellas so guests can relax after a refreshing swim.

15 minutes from the villa is the famous coastal spa resort of Santa Cesarea Terme, with its thermal baths and fascinating caves.
