Villa med antikviteter och pool i Vitigliano

Five bedrooms, antique and ethnic furnishings, rugs, ceramics, and objects collected from the Middle East and beyond: this villa in Vitigliano carries a well-travelled character that makes it feel more like a private home than a rental. The building itself was once a historic tobacco manufactory.



The main sala is wide and light-filled, furnished with antique and ethnic pieces suited to long evenings. A sitting room with a fireplace and a separate dining room offer quieter spots for slower meals, while a library lined with books in several languages rounds out the interior. Each of the five bedrooms has its own character, finished with care.



Outside, a gazebo provides a spot for aperitivo and a small pool is available for cooling off. Vitigliano is a quiet Salentine borgo of pale stone houses and silent lanes, where the sea air drifts in from the coast.



Santa Cesarea Terme is a short trip away, with clear Adriatic water, cliffs, sea caves, and thermal baths on the seafront. The Salento coast offers beaches and coastal villages, and Vitigliano sits well placed for exploring the broader area without the crowds.
