Home description

The villa is placed right at the centre of the village of Giurdignano, in the Otranto area.The villa can accommodate up to 8 people (with 3 bedrooms). Part of the charm of this house is the construction that reflects the salento’s style. The milan based architect reproduced the same salento’s design using all local stone and material. It has a loft style living room with a fire place and a big table that can sit 10 people plus a table outside that can sit 6 people. There are 3 bedrooms located on two floors with 2 bathrooms. In the dining room there is also a sofa bed for 2 people. In this room there's also a full equipped kitchen.
In the courtyard, equipped with a table for outside meals and a BBQ you have beautiful orange and lemon trees that keep the shade during the summer nights.
The position of the house gives all guests the possibility to meet the local people, always very warm with foreigners. Giurdignano is a very small village of 1000 inhabitants situated in the beautiful country side surrounded by olive trees just 5 km away from the beautiful sea of Otranto. It is famous for the presence of megalitic monuments dolmen or menhir, of the archeological site called 'Le Centoporte", of several criptas, of which the most famous the church-cripta of San Salvatore, of two hipogean tombs of the eneolitic period (II millennium B.C.).

Also, although this part of Italy is very quiet, it is good to know that the location of the house offers its guests a very secure environment. The summer nights are normally cool and dry, full of pleasant scents. The silence of the place is quite impressive even in the busiest August nights.
