Il Glicine

Built in 1737, this charming villa has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its original character. It offers the best of both countryside and coast – scenically situated in a rural spot, yet just a short drive from the seaside. From the tranquil gardens and pretty pool to the cosy rooms, this home sets the scene for rest and relaxation, with plenty of space for a family holiday or group trip. One quirk to note about this rustic retreat – the tap water comes from a well and isn’t suitable for drinking, so you’ll need to stock up on bottled water. As for the region of Salento, it’s home to picturesque villages, historic towns, and unspoilt beaches – all the ingredients for an idyllic Italian getaway.
