Location:

This cliffside villa is located in Castro, a small picturesque town that rests on the rocky shores of the Adriatic sea. This villa boasts beautiful vistas of Castro Bay. With stunning spots to swim and enjoy the sea, it’s easy to understand why this area is known as the ‘pearl of the Salento’. The villa is just a 7-minute mostly flat walk to the Castro port and centre (700m), where you will find plenty of restaurants, bars and shops.

The southern location means there are plenty of beautiful beaches, with crystal clear waters and spots to set up for the day. There are plenty within a short drive or walk from the villa like: Cala dell’Acquaviva (1.7km), Beach Botte (4km) and Porto Miggiano (5km).

It’s just a 45-minute drive to Lecce, a city that has plenty do to and see. This spot is known for its beautiful baroque buildings, and there’s so many places to enjoy and explore including: Piazza del Duomo cathedral, Basilica of Santa Croce, Cathedral of Lecce and Piazza Sant’Oronzo. Lecce is also home to many authentic restaurants that will tantalise your taste buds, and countless bars that offer an aperitif or two.

This villa is located in the region of Puglia, the southern spot that forms the heel of Italy’s boot. This region is known for beautiful whitewashed hill towns, centuries-old farms and endless coastline that boasts beautiful turquoise waters. It’s well worth a visit to some of the other towns and villages, like: the beautiful town of Santa Cesarea Terme, the coastal town of Otranto, and the stunning beach of Torre Dell’Orso.
