Property 10798 - LEVERANO
9 Bedrooms
Location and Surrounding Area
Located in one of the most appreciated areas in Southern Apulia, just a few kilometers away from the coast, this exclusive nine-bedroom masseria is ideally situated to offer complete privacy to its guests, providing an opulent escape for those who want to explore this area. Famous for its whitewashed towns, excellent food, dramatic coastal cliffs and beautiful beaches, Southern Apulia features all the ingredients for the perfect vacation.
Porto Cesareo sits on a prestigious part of the Ionian coast, enjoying a long stretch of beach and sparkling, clean seas. The popular seaside resort has an amazing 17 km of golden beach facing an archipelago of low-lying islands that form a protected bay. The water is calm and clear. Porto Cesareo is also the home of a nature preserve, which is a marine protected area rich in flora and fauna with very rare species. Underwater excursions allow for viewing of unique coral formations, turtles, sea horses, and other marine life.
The city of Gallipoli, Greek for Beautiful City, is a pearl in the blue waters of the Ionian Sea. 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 the Orient, as seen in some of the decorations and touches around 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.
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-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.
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 boat. The marine life and crystal-clear water underneath the caves make them a perfect hotspot for snorkelling and scuba diving.
