Puglia - Lecce - GAGLIANO DEL CAPO

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). Villa Floria occupies a privileged and panoramic position above the exclusive seaside resort of Santa Maria di Leuca, located close to the scenic coastline that connects elegant Santa Maria di Leuca to Otranto. A stretch of land rich in history and culture as well as pristine landscapes and restaurants overlooking the sea. The Mediterranean-style structure includes a cosy and refined open-plan living room with kitchen and pool view, completed by two double bedrooms. Outside, the patio with white arches and typical Salento stone walls is the setting for convivial and relaxing evenings while the terrace on the upper floor offers a priceless view of the sea.

Interior:

The rooms of Villa Floria are all on one floor. The main entrance leads into the open-plan living room connected to the kitchen by a large arch. From the living area a hallway leads to the sleeping area consisting of two double bedrooms sharing a bathroom with shower. The laundry is located in an external room.

Park:

The external area, partially fenced, extends for about 200 sq m and is accessed via a private drive that leads to the internal parking area. The stone walls, the snow-white arches and the splendid sea views from the terrace make this gem a little paradise for the senses. There is an outdoor dining area on the patio adjacent to the pool area and several shaded areas for relaxation; the park is completed by a lovely stone barbecue. 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.

TO DO

Location and distances


Santa Maria di Leuca (from the Greek “Leucos” which means white) is one of the most exclusive and renowned resorts in Puglia. Since 2006, the territory of Santa Maria di Leuca has been part of the Puglia Regional Park, called ''Costa Otranto-Sant Maria di Leuca-Bosco di Tricase'', established for the purpose of safeguarding the east coast of the Salento peninsula, rich in precious architectural assets and in animal and plant species. There are many beautiful nineteenth-century villas, built in different styles, visible to those strolling along the streets of Santa Maria di Leuca that lead to the beautiful promenade. In this area are restaurants and pizzerias where you can sample the typical dishes of the Salento cuisine and visit the many kinds of shops located in the area. Unmissable and suggestive are the boat trips to the many natural caves and the organized dives to admire the enchanting seabed. Magic becomes reality when you come to the large Piazzale Santuario where your gaze loses itself in the immenisty of the embrace between the Ionian and Adriatic sea. In this piazza stands the imposing Basilica of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae, built between 1720 and 1755, with paintings dating back to 1898, and the 48.60 m high lighthouse of Leuca, activated in 1866. Two flights of stairs, each one 300 steps, connect the sanctuary to the historic old port. The two stairways are separated by an artificial waterfall, opened on special occasions. Just a 30-minute drive away are the charming towns of Gallipoli and Otranto overlooking, respectively, the Ionian and the Adriatic Seas and well-known for the many clubs that enliven the Salento nightlife. 45 minutes away is Lecce, the largest cultural centre of the Salento and the easternmost provincial capital of Italy. An art city, it boasts numerous monuments and places of historical and cultural interest and is also known for its rich architecture and for the exuberance of the many, typically 17th century, churches and buildings in the old town centre.
