Description

Set in an exceptional position just moments from the renowned Grotta Zinzulusa, this beautifully renovated Villa is immersed in a lush Mediterranean garden, offering privacy and tranquillity only a few metres from the Adriatic Sea.

Beyond the private entrance, the approximately 400 sqm terraced garden unfolds across several levels, shaded by mature trees and offering three private parking spaces. A few steps lead to the main entrance, where magnificent arched windows frame the crystal-clear sea, flooding the spacious living area with natural light. Designed for relaxed Mediterranean living, it is ideal for unwinding, entertaining or simply enjoying the ever-changing colours of the Adriatic.

The panoramic terrace is one of the Villa’s most captivating features, with breathtaking views by day and moonlight shimmering across the sea by night. This level also includes a contemporary open-plan kitchen with fireplace, a utility room and an additional versatile space, both with private bathrooms.

The lower floor, accessible via the internal staircase or directly from the garden, continues to enjoy enchanting sea views. A covered outdoor porch is the perfect spot for morning coffee overlooking the sea.

The garden blends harmoniously with the Mediterranean landscape, offering peaceful spaces to enjoy the Salento climate. It includes an outdoor shower and paved areas suitable for a hot tub or above-ground swimming pool.

At the top of the garden, a private gate provides direct access to the scenic coastal path connecting Castro with Santa Cesarea Terme and Otranto, ideal for discovering southern Salento on foot. Just 130 metres from the property, steps descend directly to the cliffs for a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear Adriatic.

Fully fenced and offered partially furnished, the Villa is ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive: a distinctive Mediterranean retreat where nature, the sea and the timeless rhythm of Salento become part of everyday life.

    Location: Castro, Apulia

    The Villa is situated in the municipality of Castro, in an area of great natural, historical and cultural significance, easily accessible via the coastal road towards Santa Cesarea Terme. Its location provides an ideal link along the Adriatic coast, stretching southwards towards Santa Maria di Leuca and northwards towards Otranto.

    Castro is a charming historic town, with its cathedral overlooking the old town and marina. The Villa’s location is particularly appealing, as both the historic centre and the marina can be reached on foot, an especially sought-after advantage during the summer months.

    Castro boasts a rocky coastline rich in caves, including the renowned Grotta Zinzulusa, as well as several marinas, with Andrano and Santa Cesarea Terme among the best known, all within easy reach. The surrounding hinterland is typical of the Salento region and includes Poggiardo, with the Crypt of Santa Maria degli Angeli, and Maglie, home to its Archaeological Museum.

    Castro’s beautiful scenery has provided the backdrop for several Italian films, including works by acclaimed directors such as Özpetek and Winspeare. Its history and importance within the region make Castro one of Salento’s most distinctive coastal towns, with a vibrant atmosphere brought to life by religious boat processions, spectacular fireworks displays and traditional festivals.

    The town also offers traditional restaurants, public swimming pools overlooking the sea and water sports facilities, and is known for the renowned Blu Bay panoramic nightclub on the nearby headland.

    Easily accessible by motorway from Lecce and from the domestic airports of Brindisi and Bari, Castro is a lively destination throughout the year. With its wide selection of hotels and exceptional panoramic viewpoints, it is also well served by regional public transport year-round.
