Luxury villa for rent in From Gallipoli to Otranto countryside rental pool for 10 people

This charming restored masseria with a private swimming pool accommodates up to 10 guests in the heart of the Salento countryside, in Puglia. Once a carefully restored agricultural farm, it combines the authentic character of traditional Puglian architecture with contemporary comfort and understated elegance. Surrounded by ancient olive trees and Mediterranean gardens, it offers a peaceful and secluded setting, ideal for families or groups of friends looking for an exclusive property in which to fully enjoy the authentic lifestyle of southern Italy.

Outside, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, mature olive trees and several terraces overlooking the peaceful countryside. The large private swimming pool is at the heart of outdoor life, with comfortable areas for relaxing in the sun and making the most of the long Mediterranean days. The various terraces are perfect for everything from leisurely breakfasts in the open air to sunset aperitifs and long dinners beneath the stars. Guests can also make use of the property’s vegetable garden and pick seasonal produce, adding an authentic farm-to-table experience to their stay.

The masseria is divided into three independent areas, offering both conviviality and privacy. The main house features a spacious living area, a fully equipped kitchen and two elegant double bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. Across a shaded terrace, the guest wing offers two additional double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The two bedrooms are connected internally and each also has its own private access from the garden, allowing them to be either combined or kept separate depending on guests’ needs. A separate stone cottage completes the property with a fifth double bedroom and private bathroom. The interiors combine whitewashed walls, natural stone, beautiful traditional architectural features and a refined mix of antique and contemporary furnishings, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere.

Located close to the historic village of Specchia, the masseria is ideally positioned for exploring the Salento and both of its coastlines. Listed among Italy’s most beautiful villages, Specchia charms visitors with its picturesque streets, historic stone palaces and traditional restaurants. From the property, guests can easily reach the sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters of both the Ionian and Adriatic coasts, discover the charming towns and villages of the Salento, explore their Baroque architecture or visit local wineries and producers. The region also offers an outstanding culinary scene, with traditional Salento specialities, fresh local produce and authentic restaurants where guests can discover the flavours of Puglia.
