VILLA CASTIGLIONE

Villa Castiglione - Diso - Apulia

7 Bedrooms - Pool

Location and Surrounding Area. Located in one of the most appreciated areas in Southern Apulia, just two kilometres from the glorious coast, this exceptional seven-bedroom villa is ideally situated to offer complete relaxation and privacy to its guests, providing an opulent escape for those who want to explore this exclusive area. Famous for its whitewashed towns, excellent food, dramatic coastal cliffs and beautiful beaches, this area of Southern Apulia features all the ingredients for the perfect vacation.

Santa Maria di Leuca boasts one of the biggest and most fascinating tourist ports in Salento, with 760 mooring places that can accommodate boats up to 40 meters long. The coast, surrounded by Punta Ristola and Punta Meliso, alternates cliffs and beaches, with the characteristic “bagnarole” made of stone. In Leuca, you will also find the fascinating marine caves that can be visited via boats: the marine life and crystal-clear water underneath the caves make them a perfect hotspot for snorkelling and scuba diving.

The villa is also a few kilometres from Otranto, a natural bridge between the Mediterranean and the East, and a charming land where the ancient atmosphere of the historic centre goes hand in hand with a lively nightlife. In less than forty minutes by car, you can easily reach Gallipoli, whose name means “beautiful city”: before exploring the narrow and paved streets of the historic centre, from where you can catch an occasional glimpse of the sea, stop off at the fish market and mingle with the crowds.

In less than one hour by car, you can easily reach Gallipoli, whose name means “beautiful city”. The port has established it as a maritime town for centuries and it still has an active fishing trade. It was a trade port with ties to Orient, as seen in some decorations and touches around the town. The elegant old centre hints at its once important past. The beaches are known throughout Italy as some of the cleanest around, with colourful rows of umbrellas and bright seafront bars and restaurants decorating them in the summer.

Bequeathed with baroque buildings by its 17th-century architects, the city of Lecce has a completeness and homogeneity that other southern Italian metropolises lack. Indeed, so distinctive is Lecce’s architecture that it has acquired its own moniker, Lecce baroque, an expressive and decorative incarnation of the genre replete with gargoyles, asparagus columns and cavorting gremlins. Swooning 18th-century traveller Thomas Ashe thought it “the most beautiful city in Italy”.
