Villa del Cedro

Welcome to Villa del Cedro, a stunning self-contained villa on the southernmost tip of Puglia. This magnificent four-bedroomed property melds with the beauty of nature all around. The soft yellow stone façade continues throughout the interior, which is a masterclass in pastel shades and creamy stone finishes.

Your stunning grounds feature a pool, an impressive 10 meters by 4 meters, with a depth of 1.3 meters. The outside terrace areas will become the focal point of your vacation. As you watch the sunrise, leisurely breakfasts at dawn, followed by tastefully curated lunches at your covered outdoor dining area, become daily fixtures. Fire up the barbeque each evening to cook local produce for unforgettable dinners. Unwind as dusk draws a cozy blanket over the region, sipping some delicious local wines as you count the stars.

This self-contained Villa enjoys a large footprint. The Villa and grounds are a substantial 8,200 square meters, offering ample space for your group to spread out and explore. It's quiet and private yet is near enough to shops and restaurants, so you don't feel too isolated.
The Villa is in Torre Vado, a beach destination in southern Salento adjacent to the region known as the Maldives of Italy.

The Villa is all on one level. There are relaxed living spaces to sit quietly and tons of natural light that bring a soft glow to the interior. The four spacious bedrooms have domed stone ceilings that create a cool and restful vibe.

The kitchen has a large picture window that allows the designated cook in your group to enjoy the beauty of the landscape while they assemble some divinely decadent dishes.

The surrounding olive groves provide a lovely sense of privacy for guests lolling by the pool, yet they don't hide the sweeping views across the valley. A lovely panoramic terrace gives a great view from Villa del Cedro to the sea.

LOCATION:
Villa del Cedro is one of those exceptional properties that enjoy a blissfully rural setting yet is within easy access to some of the region's prettiest beaches. Nearby is an area known as the Maldives of Italy, filled with both sandy and rocky beaches that are quite beautiful. The beaches on the Ionian Sea coast of Puglia, like Punta Prosciutto, Pescoluse, and Porto Selvaggio, with turquoise, crystal clear waters, are considered unrivaled in their perfection across most of Europe.

Your location allows you to sample the very different vibe of Italy's Adriatic and Ionian coastlines. If you want to see where these two seas meet and blend, visit Santa Maria di Leuca, an exceptionally pretty coastal town.

If you have nerves of steel, you might want to dive Il Ciolo, a 40-foot leap off a bridge into the sea below. But better yet, step back and watch the experts take on this dramatic challenge.

For cave explorations, the Adriatic side of Salento is a treasure. Whereas the Ionian is all sleepy beaches and soft waves, the Adriatic side is more invigorating.

If you are interested in sampling urban life, the pretty city of Lecce, glowing pink in the afternoon sun, is the place for you. It is one of the largest towns in the area and well worth exploring. There's a thriving university located here which creates a youthful vibe. Lovely restaurants, bars, and cafes dot the streets. There are fabulous sea views, shopping, and the age-old Italian pastime of people-watching.

In the countryside around your Villa, you will find ancient olive farms where you can pick up rich oils and juicy olives, the perfect accompaniment to the famous bread from the region. In addition, local vineyards provide places to enjoy a tasting and source some quality wines that capture the flavor of Puglia.

Italy is supreme when it comes to vacations. Within Italy, Puglia is a region that has a truly unique personality. The warmth of the locals, the quiet authentic villages untouched by modernity, and the exhilarating coastal beach resorts make it a destination more than the sum of its parts.

And amid all this magic lies Villa del Cedro, your private slice of paradise waiting to embrace and cherish you as you step into the beauty of Puglia. Ideally situated between the Ionian Sea's bliss and the Adriatic Sea's tempo, prepare to fall in love with a very different Italy!
