I will start with the warm welcome we had from Giulia and her father Marcello. They are really kind people and they welcome you with their heart and make sure that everything will be fine for you. Communication is easy before and during the stay. A LOT of very good welcome products are provided. All that make you know you are in right place even before you enter the villa itself ! They also came at the end of the stay to say goodbye, they are very nice people, it really makes a difference.
The villa and outdoors are beautiful and peaceful. The villa has large rooms with high ceilings, good beds, air-conditioning in the bedrooms, good wifi ... Outside you will find place for your car, sun and shadow, a large terrace with table and chairs, a lovely pergola with deck chairs, a barbecue, 2 bikes, a shower with hot/cold water and stairs will lead you to the rooftop where you can enjoy a panoramic view of sea and the magic of the sunset.
On the other side of the road, a short path will lead you to a swimming place (amongst the rocks, better take your sea shoes) where you will swim and see the sea cave " Grotta Delle Tre Porte".
From the villa, you can reach in a few minutes drive Leuca, which is charming with its old stylish villas but not always easy to find a parking place at peak of the high season. From Leuca, there are nice boat trips to visit the numerous and beautiful sea caves with swimming stops.
At 15 minutes drive of the villa, you can find Marina di Pescoluse with its big sandy beach and clear waters (Maldives of the Salento). Other beaches are closer to the villas like Felloniche for example.
At one hour drive, don't miss cities like Lecce and Otranto. We did not have time to visit Gallipoli.
To conclude, I warmly recommend the villa and thank again Giulia and Marcello.
