Spend a serene stay at this incredible villa in Taviano, a picturesque town based in the province of Lecce and nicknamed the ‘city of flowers’ for its famous flower fields. You’ll love exploring the Old Town, where sugar-cube buildings sit next to Baroque palaces, and you can find delicious restaurants, trendy bars and quaint cafes. You’re also a short drive from the beaches of Gallipoli, home to classy beach bars and crystal-clear waters. Characterful touches such as beam ceilings, reclaimed driftwood and natural stone brickwork await inside, along with a neutral colour scheme that invokes a real sense of calm. This is all combined with modern amenities that make your stay feel seamless. You’ll be even more wowed by the outside, with a large garden featuring a stunning outdoor pool where you can swim and splash under the hot sun. There are also plenty of places to chill out, all speckled with palm trees to make it feel like you’ve entered true paradise. The sun loungers invite you to relax poolside with a cocktail on hot summer days, while the covered dining terrace provides the ideal place to feast with family and friends. There’s also a dining area on the rooftop terrace that makes for a great sundowner spot.
