A wonderful house in a magical place: whether you come here to relax or work remotely or both, you might not want to leave again. This villa is literally located on the sea, with a stone wall and a gate that separates it from the rocks and several accesses that lead down to the sea (not recommended for small children and elderly people or people with mobility difficulties). And thanks to its heated outdoor jacuzzi, this place is perfect even in winter!
This is the closest house to the sea on this stretch of coast, a few hundred meters from the famous Cala dell'Acquaviva, perhaps the most stunning bay in Salento, a natural fjord of enchanting beauty.
The house consists of three bedrooms, one double, one triple (double bed + single bunk bed above it) and one single room. There is a bathroom with shower and a toilet with washing machine (there is also an external shower), and a living room with an open kitchen, simple but equipped with everything you need to prepare your own meals (gas stove, oven, dishwasher, fridge with freezer, kettle, dishes, pots, etc.). You can eat your meals outdoors, under the large shaded canopy in front of the house, near the brick barbecue. On the roof there is another terrace, also partly shaded, with an even more beautiful sea view.
Another highlight of the property is the outdoor whirlpool, located in a covered veranda with sea view right next to the house: enjoy a relaxing water massage at your preferred water temperature (up to 40 °C), while listening to good music, reading a book or just enjoying the company while looking at the sea below you.
We open the whirlpool upon request only; the price is €80 for the setup + €20 per day, and it includes water costs, cleaning/disinfection as well as regular maintenance.
From the property, which is completely fenced, a small gate offers direct access to the sea: to the right, there are some sea accesses that can be used to enter the water (shoes recommended for the rocks), while to the left, after a few meters, an easy, paved path runs along the sea for several hundred meters in the direction of Acquaviva, an ideal setting for walks at sunset.
The property has a private parking space for one car, covered with a roof, along the coastal road; other cars can be parked for free along the road. Please note that it is not possible to arrive directly to the house by car: to access the property from the parking lot, you need to follow a pedestrian path, about 80 meters long and with approx. 100 (easy) steps, which must be walked uphill to get back to the car. But this house is definitely worth the effort :-)
🛏️ Sheets, duvets and towels are not included. If you don't want to bring them with you from home, regardless of the length of your stay, you can rent them for €24 per person.
🧽 Final cleaning is not included and costs €100, unless you clean yourselves before departure.
🐶 Dogs and pets are allowed (max 2 dogs or pets, surcharge €100 per dog/pet). You will need to inform us in advance.
💰 We will ask you to pay a security deposit of €600 before arrival. The security deposit will be refunded within 7 days after departure, if there is no damage.
⚡ Electricity costs (and thus where applicable AC, hot water, heating etc.) are NOT included in the price and will be charged based on your actual consumption. The price per kWh charged to guests was €0,42 on 23/01/2025, when this text was last updated, but as prices are fluctuating a lot, your actual price per kWh will be communicated a few days before your arrival based on the current market price.
We decided not to include electricity costs in the rent in order to: a) keep our rental prices stable despite inflation and b) incentivate our guests to use electricity responsibly, helping us to reach our sustainability goals. Thank you for your understanding.
