An old house donated by the paternal grandparents recently renovated with meticulous attention while preserving the original and authentic look where possible. Furniture made by local craftsmen even with reclaimed materials. It dates back to the end of the 19th century and is part of a much larger structure as can be seen from some rooms on the ground floor used for housing animals and agricultural storage. This, along with the stories of the grandfather, makes us think it's what's left of an old farmhouse. The space The house's uniqueness is certainly the centuries-old pergola that my great-grandfather buried on the occasion of his son's departure in war and has followed his growth with immense love as only the farmers of the past knew. The great-grandfather's attachment in this life was shared with my grandfather, who handed it over to me. I still remember the grandfather that every day during the summer season he was checking the grape growth, taking a leaf out of a bouquet now, and now from another bouquet (he said) “ to let the light in.” The place chosen by the great-grandfather to bury the pergola, which is in front of the house, makes it all the more valuable as it goes up to the first floor to frame and shade the small balcony. From here, the Pergoletto. Guest access Guests have access to the whole cottage. Less than 2 km away from the village the guest can admire the rocky coast of the last strip of the Adriatic Sea that offers ancient paths immersed in nature (tracturi) once used for the collection of salt. Instead, moving 10 km you can enjoy the fabulous sandy beaches of the Ionian coast. The house is close to the provincial road that connects Tricase (Km 5) to Santa Maria di Leuca (Km 10) and within walking distance guests will find bakery, wine bar, bar, fish and grocery store.
