Tracing the Sea

Only 130 metres away from the Ionian Sea, this immaculate villa promises pretty views of turquoise waters just beyond Leuca's Mediterranean townscape. We highly recommend sauntering down to the clifftops and watching a sunset from the southernmost point of Puglia, on Italy's heel of the boot. A five-minute walk from your doorstep, why not stroll around the port or pop into the monastery of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae?

Kept soothing by its minimalist design and neutral colour scheme, this home is serious about providing a stress-free retreat. Greet each day out on your bedroom balcony, breathing in that fresh coastal breeze before taking the lift downstairs for breakfast. Maybe you'll make plans over a plateful of frittatas at the glossy dining table. Imagine snuggling up with your dog on this well-lit sofa ahead of some poolside sunbathing. After forging new memories, how about indulging in an alfresco pizza party on your terrace as you sip wine under the dappled light?
