About this property

Breathtaking whirlpool villa&office w/ sea access

Nestled in a pinewood forest of 2.5 acres with direct access to the sea, this large villa with business WiFi and work from home facilities, definitely one of the most stunning villas in our collection, offers spectacular views of the rocky cliffs of Castro. It boasts a heated outdoor jacuzzi overlooking the sea and a private sea access, while the closest town, Castro, is only approx. 10 minutes walking distance. 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 path that leads directly to the sea, starts right below this villa. 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. There are five bedrooms in total: one double room with en-suite bathroom with bathtub; one single room with small en-suite bathroom with shower; one double and one triple room sharing a bathroom with shower; one large room on the lower floor, equipped with desks for remote working but also two double sofa beds, and a small bathroom. There is a large living room and a fully equipped, modern kitchen with induction stove, dishwasher, oven and a large fridge. All bathrooms and the kitchen have been completely renovated between 2021 and 2022. There is air conditioning (cold or warm, depending on the season) in the lower level as well as part of the upper level (including the living room and one bedroom); however, the thick walls and the trees mitigate the summer heat. In winter, the house can be heated. Just outside the living room, a partly shaded terrace offers wonderful views and maximum privacy.
A heated outdoor whirlpool is at your exclusive disposal below the house, on the cliffs overlooking the sea. Enjoy pure relaxation in daylight or in the moonlight, with a glass of Prosecco or a good book, look at the azure blue sea below you and forget the stress of everyday life with individually adjustable water temperature (maximum 40 °C) as often as you wish. You can even connect your phone via Bluetooth to the internal speaker system and play your favourite music. The whirlpool will be opened for you on request; it can be used all year round, including (or even more so!) in winter. The surcharge is €40 per day, with a maximum of €200 for the entire stay or €300 per month for stays of 30 days or more. It includes the cleaning and disinfection of the whirlpool approx. twice a week and with every guest change.
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 €20 per person. Beach/pool towels are not provided.
🧽 Final cleaning is not included and costs €120, unless you clean yourselves before departure.
🐶 Dogs and pets are allowed (max 2 dogs or pets, surcharge €60 per dog/pet). You will need to inform us in advance.
💰 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 €0,38 on 14/02/2024, when this text was last updated, but as prices are fluctuating a lot, your actual price per kWh will be communicated a few days before your arrival based on the current market price.
We decided not to include electricity costs in the rent in order to: a) keep our rental prices stable despite inflation and b) incentivate our guests to use electricity responsibly, helping us to reach our sustainability goals. Thank you for your understanding.

Une semaine de rêve en famille
Superbe villa, merveilleusement bien placée avec une vue sur la mer extraordinaire, jacuzzi très agréable, environnement plein de charme. Equipement de la maison satisfaisant. Cette villa doit être parfaite en saison car on peut être sur la terrasse midi et soir, nous y avons séjourné en automne et le soir avec la fraicheur nous devions rentrer, le seul problème est la : le séjour n'est vraiement pas convivial, un canapé deux places et deux fauteuils pour une villa pouvant accueillir 12 personnes c'est un peu "chip", pas de table basse, éclairage lugubre... C'est la seule critique que nous pourrons faire !

Bellissime vacanze
Siamo stati benissimo in questa casa. La vista è favolosa. Il contesto molto bello. Ogni uno trova il suo spazio. Era tutto come descritto. L'allestimento della cucina. Il lavello nell'angolo non è comodo. E poi, una caffetteria mocka piccola per 12 persone ....

Location ottima con vista mozzafiato
La terrazza con la splendida vista mare, la ristrutturazione del bagno principale, la vasca idromassaggio con il giardino, la comodità del parcheggio e la comodità del check-in Arredamento interno in particolare della cucina da rivedere. Infissi e serramenti di qualità e sicurezza precaria Mancanza di un impianto di aria condizionata
