Elegant automatic gates open onto a tree-lined drive which leads up to the front of this imposing, 19th-century villa for 12. The villa, set in extensive grounds, has been lovingly renovated by the current owners and makes an idyllic retreat for family or friends looking for relaxation and adventure in this beautiful part of Salento.
Many of the rooms on the ground floor of the villa have beautiful vaulted ceilings and pale stone floors. The house is designed for indoor-outdoor living with seven French windows leading out to the various terraces and the well-tended gardens. Some of the downstairs rooms are linked by large arches which give the villa a light and airy feel.
The villa is on the outskirts of the historic town of Galatina, 5 minutes from the historic centre. Galatina is a hidden gem. Like Lecce (30 minutes away) the town has a beautifully preserved Baroque town centre, with lovely churches and palaces. It is a lovely place, where you can lose yourself for a few hours, exploring its restaurants, bars and boutiques. The town is famous as the birthplace of the delicious Puglian dessert of Pasticciotto. For more delicious local food, the weekly market takes place every Thursday morning and is well worth a visit.
