Stones In The Sun

This home is wholesome and luxurious in equal measure. A traditional Salento home with low stone walls, we love the natural, cave-like vibe. Meanwhile, the private pool just happens to have to-die-for sea views. Inside, expect more of that soothing stone – combined with a modern, white colour scheme and cool tiled floors. Comprised of one main building and two other units, this home is perfect if your group don't fancy living right on top of each other. The sleek kitchen comes with everything you could need for a comfortable stay, and out on the terrace, there's a wonderful shaded eating space with a built-in barbecue. Bedroom-wise, all are comfy and serene affairs – one even has its own kitchenette. If you can drag yourself away, Santa Maria di Leuca is close by. From here, apply your sea legs and discover legendary sea caves where the water is clear blue. Or just pull up a seat in a local restaurant and eat some of the best seafood known to man.
