Property 10685 - CASTRO

5 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Located in one of the most sought-after areas of Southern Apulia and perched on a cliff overlooking the sea, this seafront villa with a pool and private access to the sea is ideally situated to offer complete relaxation and privacy. It provides an opulent escape for those looking to explore this exclusive region. Famous for its whitewashed towns, excellent food, dramatic coastal cliffs, and beautiful beaches, this area of Southern Apulia offers all the ingredients for the perfect holiday.

Property 10685 is just steps from the sea in one of the most scenic parts of the mythical Salento in Apulia. The nearby Roman harbour and fishing village of Castro features a historic centre on the hill and a lively marina below. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance of the villa. The nearby coastline is dotted with charming caves, with the spectacular Grotta Zinzulusa limestone caves being the most famous.

The villa is also a few kilometres from Otranto, a natural bridge between the Mediterranean and the East, known for its ancient atmosphere and vibrant nightlife. In less than an hour by car, you can easily reach Gallipoli, meaning “beautiful city”: explore the narrow, paved streets of the historic centre and visit the fish market before mingling with the crowds.

Santa Maria di Leuca boasts one of the largest and most fascinating tourist ports in Salento, with 760 mooring places accommodating boats up to 40 metres long. The coast, bordered by Punta Ristola and Punta Meliso, alternates between cliffs and beaches, with characteristic stone “bagnarole” structures. In Leuca, you can also visit the captivating marine caves by boat: the marine life and crystal-clear waters make them perfect for snorkelling and scuba diving.

Lecce, enriched by 17th-century baroque buildings, has a unique completeness and homogeneity. Its distinctive architecture, known as Lecce baroque, features expressive and decorative elements such as gargoyles, asparagus columns, and cavorting gremlins. 18th-century traveller Thomas Ashe described it as ‘the most beautiful city in Italy’.
