You will immerse yourself in a corner of paradise where you will smell the scents of the Mediterranean and listen to seagulls and cicadas interrupted only by the sound of the waves. This villa is located in an exclusive and unique estate consisting of several villas and trulli, separated from each other by a pinewood forest. It is known as "La Palombara" and was popular with VIPs in the seventies and eighties. At the end of 2019 we rediscovered this heavenly place and we chose to upgrade and redesign parts of it. It is now available for guests that are looking for a hideaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In the photo gallery you will find a map of the entire grounds. A private path that leads directly to the sea starts directly from the property. On your way to the sea, you will pass some picnic areas with breathtaking views. Once on the rocky beach, you will find four access points for swimming, diving, snorkeling or fishing in the crystal clear water of the Lower Adriatic Sea. Dolphins have been spotted from the picnic areas. (Caution: the path and access to the sea is not suitable for small children or people with disabilities). The villa is on two levels. On the upper floor you’ll find one large double room with en-suite bathroom; one double and one single room sharing a bathroom; one single room with its bathroom; a kitchen and a large living room. On the lower floor there is a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The interior design is simple but functional; there is no TV nor air conditioning, but the thick walls and pine trees mitigate the heat of the summer sun. On the outside there is a shaded terrace and many spaces to relax, immersed in the vegetation. A rooftop terrace, a barbecue and an outdoor shower complete the picture. The well-known fortified village of Castro, with its bars, cafes, restaurants and a supermarket, can be reached on foot in just ten minutes. The walk is along a charming path under the ancient Messapian walls. For those who prefer sandy beaches to rocks, the enchanting sandy beach of Porto Miggiano is 5 km away; very charming are also the coves of Porto Badisco and the long sandy beaches of Alimini, north of Otranto. Sheets, duvets and towels are not included. If you don't want to bring them with you from home, regardless of the length of your stay, you can rent them for €26 per person. Final cleaning is not included and costs €120, unless you clean yourselves before departure. Dogs and pets are welcome, if you inform us in advance! Surcharge: €150 for the 1st one, €75 each for the others. Usually max 1 large or 2 small ones are allowed, but exceptions might be possible upon request. We will ask you to pay a security deposit of €600 before arrival. The security deposit will be refunded within 7 days after departure, if there is no damage. Electricity costs (and thus where applicable AC, hot water, heating etc.) are NOT included in the price and will be charged based on your actual consumption. The price per kWh charged to guests was €0,44 on 06/01/2026, when this text was last updated. Prices may slightly change over time. Feel free to reach out and we will be happy to share the average electricity consumption data for the season you're interested in.

L’environnement est magnifique et surtout l’accès mer privé est inestimable dans cette région où les plages sont bondées. L’eau y est transparente et les poissons nombreux. Nous avons passé un tres bon séjour ! Merci à Olivier et son équipe This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Oct 24, 2024 #### Paquerette (Airbnb) Très belle maison de vacances dans un environnement magnifique de pinède en bord de falaise. La descente à la mer privative depuis le domaine permet des bains de mer sans la foule présente partout l'été dans les Pouilles, un vrai plus. Mais mieux vaut remonter (pas mal de marches quand même) pour le farniente pas idéal dans les rochers. La maison est très agréable à vivre et la terrasse est super ! Nous y avons passé d'excellents moments. L'équipe de Wow Home est très réactive et il est facile de communiquer. Le village de Castro est à une courte distance à pied, que ce soit du vieux village perché ou de la marina en contrebas. Nous avons de superbes souvenirs de la semaine passée ici et recommandons le séjour dans cette villa. ### 6/10 Okay #### Sandra Z. Oct 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ferien am Meer inmitten von Pinien - vielleicht nicht im Herbst.. Wir haben zwei Wochen Ferien zu fünft in dieser Unterkunft verbracht (Ende September bis Mitte Oktober). Auf den ersten Blick war das Haus ganz okay, doch schon bald bemerkten wir gewisse Mängel. Die untere Wohnung haben wir nicht benutzt (zu feucht und dunkel \[im Herbst\] und die Dusche ist unbrauchbar/falsch konzipiert!). Im EG resp. OG sind zwei der drei Badezimmer sehr minimalistisch gehalten und die Duschen sehr unpraktisch. Weiter hängen die meisten Matratzen durch. Die verbauten Bahnschwellen beim Cheminée riechen sehr stark, selbst der Raumerfrischer konnte dies nicht kompensieren. Die Küche ist okay und die meisten Kochutensilien zum sind vorhanden und in gutem Zustand. Kochherd, Abwasch- und Waschmaschine funktionieren einwandfrei. Super fanden wir die Reaktionszeit der Agentur - jede Frage/Beanstandung wurde prompt und kompetent beantwortet! Zusammengefasst würden wir 3 von 5 Sternen geben :) ##### Sandra Z.

Es ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Ich kann es ohne Einschränkungen empfehlen! Bei Fragen stand das Team von WowHomes jederzeit zur Verfügung. Einfach großartig! ##### Rico ### 6/10 Okay #### EUGENIO P. Jul 15, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bello ma...... La valutazione della struttura sarebbe stata ottima se la stanza seminterrata fosse stata vivibile. Troppo umida per abitarla e chiusa da troppo tempo con relativo cattivo odore persistente. Una seconda cosa meno rilevante ma comunque non secondaria in una casa per 8 persone : assenza di un forno e totale mancanza di coperchi delle pentole e padelle; con conseguente spreco di tempo ed energia elettrica. ##### EUGENIO P.

Beautiful ##### James H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela Jul 3, 2021 #### Fantastico! Tutto curato nei minimi dettagli! La casa, gli spazi esterni, era tutto rispondente alla descrizione sul sito. Le istruzioni sull'utilizzo della casa e delle dotazioni erano chiarissime. La comunicazione veloce ed efficace in merito ad ogni necessità. In tutto traspare la cura e la passione nella gestione, la volontà di offrire con serietà un servizio eccellente. Accesso al mare e paese a portata di piedi, si può dimenticare la macchina. Quiete e silenzio, organizzazione rispettosa dell'ambiente. Barbecue fantastico. Il luogo ideale per staccare la spina, ma volendo lavorare la connessione ad internet è buona. Bello anche che gli animali domestici siano i benvenuti. Trovare acqua fresca in frigo e una prima dose di detersivi e sapone mani permette di sistemarsi con relax senza dover correre a fare acquisti appena arrivati. Davvero difficile trovare qualcosa da migliorare!!! Se proprio dobbiamo trovare qualcosa, suggerirei di aggiungere dei coperchi in più alla già ottima dotazione di stoviglie, soprattutto per evitare schizzi che possano sporcare la cucina durante la cottura. Un suggerimento minimo che propongo solo perché ho constatato che wowhomes si impegna davvero per la perfezione. ##### Angela ### 10/10 Excellent #### pala 3.
