Located in the unspoiled town of Matino, this contemporary villa is the perfect place to experience the Italian countryside. Offering panoramic views of the surrounding greenery and plenty of outdoor space to relax in, begin your days with a cup of coffee on the patio while you admire the scenery. When you're ready to head out and explore, a trip to the nearby Gallipoli is a must. The town's historic centre is home to ornate churches and cathedrals, grand castles and Renaissance fountains, making it a haven for those looking to soak up some of the area's rich culture and architecture. If you fancy a beach day, Lido Pizzo and Punta della Suina are just 8km away, offering clear blue water and golden sand. When you get home, cook a family dinner in the sleek kitchen, then dine alfresco in the garden while the sun sets over the villa. Round off a perfect day with a long soak in the open bathtub, which you'll find in the master bedroom.
