Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only - CIS CODE: E07501691000019442). Villa D'Aquino is an elegant property located on the hill of Casarano and is welcoming and refined, both inside and out. The solarium and swimming pool are well connected and visible from the large glass living room which also has access to the outside area. The interior is also well organised to ensure guests maximum comfort during their stay. Villa D'Aquino is the ideal location to spend relaxing holidays, with pleasant moments spent in both the large living room and the big swimming pool which, with the surrounding lawned area, allow guests to make the most of their stay.

Interior:

The rooms of Villa D'Aquino are elegant and brightly-lit, all located on the ground floor. Absolute protagonist is the living area composed of a beautiful kitchen and a glass living room that allows you to enjoy maximum tranquillity just a few steps from the outdoor area where the external dining area is also located. The living area allows guests to spend pleasant moments in absolute relaxation, between the kitchen area and the living room, while enjoying a cool drink or sipping an apéritif and then moving on to the nearby solarium. Easily accessible are the 4 double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathroom with shower, one of which also has a hydromassage tub. All the bedrooms have direct access to the outdoor area and are equipped with air conditioning and mosquito netting. 2 bedrooms have a single pouf bed each.

Park:

The property extends for about 1,500 sq m and is completely enclosed (if you have small animals, please note that the 2 external gates on the street front are formed by iron bars and they could pass through). The park is covered mainly by lawn that surrounds the swimming pool and stretches up to the glass living room and the lateral relaxation area. An evergreen hedge surrounds the solarium while tall palm trees and a large Valonia oak stand out among the various typical plants scattered in the area. The area next to the living room is ideal for an apéritif or lunch in the open air, allowing you to relax away from the solarium and the swimming pool. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

The large swimming pool, about 25 m from the house, is the protagonist of the outdoor area. It is reached across the lawn which, as well as leading to the solarium, enhances the entire outdoor area. Measuring 13 x 11 m with the depth ranging from 0,75 to 2,90 m, it is ideal, for depth and size, for those wanting to swim in absolute tranquility. Lined in turquoise ceramics which give the pool a wonderful colour, creating a perfect union with the blue sky, the lawn and surrounding plants, it has chlorine purification and a steel ladder for access to the water. The Ideal location for enjoying a cool drink while lounging comfortably on the sunbeds under the surrounding umbrellas or, even better, in the shade of the majestic oak next to the pool itself.

Location and distances


The town of Casarano is located in south-western Salento, 45 km from Lecce, the provincial capital, and 15 km from the Ionian coast. Its location allows easy access to the various towns of interest in the entire province of Lecce and, in particular, the famous seaside towns of Gallipoli and Santa Maria di Leuca and those of Maglie, Nardò and Galatina up to enchanting Lecce, all easily reachable along the highway. Casarano offers its visitors various historically interesting spots, above all the Crypt of the Crucifix, a natural hypogeum transformed into a place of worship by the Byzantines in the 11th century, with, nearby, the ruins of the old monastery that belonged first to the Basilian monks and then to the Olivetans and which represents an important prehistoric, historical and naturalistic site; the Mother Church, built in the typical early 18th century Lecce Baroque style, is dedicated to Maria SS. Annunziata. Its elegant façade is characterised by a balustrade and by the presence of three niches, the first of which, central and above the portal, conserves the statue of San Giovanni Elemosiniere; the others, at the sides, conserve the statues of Saints Peter and Paul. Speaking of which, the cult of the patron saints of the town is particularly felt: San Giovanni Elemosiniere, cited a little while ago, and the Madonna della Campana to whom is dedicated the church that stands on a 160 m high hill which overlooks the panorama of the whole town and the neighbouring localities. Among the monuments we should mention are the Torre dell'Orologio (Clock Tower) and Il Sedile located in the characteristic Piazza San Giovanni; the Column of San Giovanni Elemosiniere; the Vittoria Alata (Winged Victory), a bronze monument located in the William Ingrosso municipal gardens; in Contrada Cisternella, on the other hand, is a medieval necropolis dating back to the 8th – 13th centuries. The characteristic and picturesque alleyways of the historic town centre bestow on visitors the atmosphere of times past; strolling along them it is easy to find old palaces and typical trattorias where you can taste the flavours and breathe in the characteristic aromas of the cuisine of the Salento hinterland.
