Elio's Dream Martano, Apulia

Property Description

With Mediterranean shrubbery and olive trees dotted around a sweeping lawn, this home makes a beautiful backdrop for small ceremonies and events. But it remains, first and foremost, a comfortable family home, hosting twenty across eight charming bedrooms - though four guests will be sleeping on two double sofa beds. There's plenty of 19th-century charm and ample space – especially outdoors, where you can gather around the pool or dine alfresco – and the location puts you within driving distance of Torcito Natural Park. For the beach, Gallipoli and the Ionian coast are about thirty minutes away.

Home truths:
*While all the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*At full occupancy, four guests will be sleeping on sofa beds.
*As there are stairs to climb here, it might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*If you want to stock up on essentials during your stay, you'll find the closest supermarket minutes away.
