Ask about availability

Dating partly to the 16th century, this stone estate evolved over five centuries. Vaults, carved stone and an 18th-century Jesuit colonnade frame streamlined interiors with fruit topiaries, bronzes, Marta Lagna calligraphy and Alessandra Bray sculpture. Living spaces include fireplaces, billiards and TVs. Ancient olive trees surround a chapel, agricultural buildings and two former underground olive presses; one houses a gym recalling Matera’s Sassi. The garden has a 17-metre pool, 18-seat table, stone bar, barbecue and wood-fired pizza oven. Explore countryside, coast, olive groves and historic towns, including Otranto’s port; Strudà is a 20-minute walk away, while sandy Ultima Spiaggia delle Cesine is a 15-minute drive.
