Modern 5-star villa, heated pool 1km from the sea

A very high standard villa, extremely comfortable and modern, located in an exclusive and quiet setting less than 1 km from the crystal clear waters of the Ionian Sea and immersed in the privacy of an ancient olive garden.

Come and explore this remote corner of Italy, the extreme tip where the heel of the boot ends at the junction of the two Adriatic and Ionian seas, and stay in one of the most elegant and refined villas of our collection, equipped with modern design furnishings and a kitchen with top-of-the-range appliances, including a Miele dishwasher and a retractable extractor hood integrated into the KitchenAid induction hob. The kitchen integrates perfectly into a spacious living and dining area where every piece of furniture, from the chandelier to the sofas, from the TV cabinet to the table and chairs, is a unique piece selected with extreme attention to detail.

Large glass doors and windows overlook the outside. The large, 40 smq pool, surrounded by a lawn, can optionally be heated (optional extra cost €100 for the preparation €10 per day electricity consumption), which means that it can be used almost the whole year round. A covered patio with barbecue for your outdoor meals and a solarium area on the rooftop with sea view complete the picture.

The villa, as well as the entire property and olive grove, are private and for your exclusive use. The property, reachable via a secondary road, is entirely fenced and closed with an electric gate.

There are three bedrooms, all with double beds measuring 160x200 cm and in very different styles and colors. One of the bedrooms has a bathroom with en-suite tub; there is also a bathroom with shower, two separate toilets and a small laundry room.

The villa is located in an exclusive area with several high end villas called "I Francesi", facing south-west, towards the Ionian Sea and the sunsets. At 1 km there is the little seaside resort of Ciardo, with its pebble beach, and at about 2 km Marina di Felloniche, with a beautiful partly sandy beach and some equipped beaches. The well-known kilometers of golden sandy beaches of the Ionian coast of Salento, from Pescoluse to Torre San Giovanni and then continuing towards Gallipoli, begin a few kilometers from the villa.

Boat tours, with or without skipper, can be booked in Santa Maria di Leuca, about a 5-minute drive away. Supermarkets and excellent restaurants can also be reached by car in a few minutes.





Sheets, duvets and towels are not included. If you don't want to bring them with you from home, regardless of the length of your stay, you can rent them for €24 per person.

Final cleaning is not included and costs €140, unless you clean yourselves before departure.

Pets are NOT allowed in this property.

We will ask you to pay a security deposit of €1000 before arrival. The security deposit will be refunded within 7 days after departure, if there is no damage.

Electricity costs (and thus where applicable AC, hot water, heating etc.) are NOT included in the price and will be charged based on your actual consumption. The price per kWh charged to guests was €0,35 on 26/09/2025, when this text was last updated, but as prices are fluctuating a lot, your actual price per kWh will be communicated a few days before your arrival based on the current market price.

We decided not to include electricity costs in the rent in order to: a) keep our rental prices stable despite inflation and b) incentivate our guests to use electricity responsibly, helping us to reach our sustainability goals. Thank you for your understanding.
