Frangipani is a luxury villa and rather unique construction. It was designed by architects in the style of the Salento traditional "pajara houses". It is perfect for those aiming at relaxing in an oasis, away from it all but close enough to access all the commodities of an urban area. You'll feel like in your own corner of the Earth, just minutes away from town and the beach.

The exterior resembles an old stone house, which respects the typical architecture and landscape of the area. Nevertheless, it was built in compliance with "A-class” energetic/insulation/ecological standards, and is also equipped with solar pannels.

There are two constructions in the property: Frangipani Main Villa and The Depandance (a detached small house, which is located around 100 meters away from the main villa in the olive tree grove. The Dependance is available to be booked with the villa at an additional rate, otherwise it remains vacant and unaccessible when booking the villa.

Frangipani is used by the owners as a holiday escape and is only occasionally rented to selected tenants. The property is perfect for a family getaway and is a relaxing place to enjoy summer vacations.

The living room gives access to a nicely decorated toilette/washing room and a storage room (incl. washing machine, microwave and an extra fridge).
