Villa with panoramic seaview

This special hillside villa is set above the charming seaside town of Santa Maria al Bagno, within one of Salento’s most captivating protected coastal landscapes. Positioned on an elevated site, the property enjoys sweeping views across the Ionian Sea and the small beach below, with an ever-changing panorama of blue water, rugged coastline, and untouched Mediterranean scenery. Surrounded by protected land where future construction is not permitted, the villa offers a rare sense of privacy, tranquility, and natural beauty. The area is also rich in history, with nearby Roman-era tombs and ancient cave carvings reflecting the region’s deep cultural heritage. The home is arranged over two levels and designed to maximize natural light and sea views throughout. On the upper floor, the main entrance opens into a generous hallway. To the right, a spacious kitchen includes a central dining area and comfortable everyday living space. Straight ahead are a large bathroom and two bright bedrooms, both enjoying sea views. To the left of the entrance, an expansive living room faces the sea, creating a continuous connection with the horizon. From here, glass doors open directly onto the terrace — the true centerpiece of the home. Set on the same level as the living area, the terrace offers seamless indoor-outdoor living with unobstructed panoramic sea views, ideal for dining, relaxing, or enjoying the peaceful rhythm of the coastline. On the ground level, a gated entrance leads to a private garden with parking for up to three cars — a rare convenience for a hillside coastal property. The villa is equipped with split air-conditioning and heating units in most rooms, electricity, gas connections, and a private septic system. While the interiors would benefit from aesthetic modernization, the structure is solid and the potential exceptional. A large nearby parking area with seasonal tram access descending directly to the sea provides an easy connection to the waterfront. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a residence in a protected and timeless setting, where sea views, history, and natural beauty come together in one remarkable coastal retreat.
