Villarancia

In our B&B there is only one such accommodation, with direct access to the equipped panoramic terrace. The space Villarancia is located in the immediate vicinity of the town of Alezio, a Messapian town located 4 km from Gallipoli, a well-known seaside resort on the Ionian coast of Salento. In a short time and quite easily, you can reach the beaches and the blue sea, as well as the provincial capital, Lecce, with its wonderful Baroque, and the other most renowned tourist centres. The first installation of the structure dates back to the mid-18th century, by nobles from Gallipoli; subsequent interventions have led to the current consistency. Today it appears as an elegant period residence that, thanks to skilful conservative restorations, has kept all its beauty intact over time. The villa has been owned by the Piccinno family for three generations. The villa, which is accessed by a long tree-lined avenue, is set in a large, well-kept garden, surrounded by a vast and productive citrus grove, which provides a wide variety of oranges and mandarins. Part of the harvest is transformed into jams and citrus juices, which are made available to guests. On the rear elevation, there is an extensive pergola with now rare qualities of table grapes, while on the main one there is a majestic portico dating back to the beginning of the last century. In front of the main facade, on the other hand, there is a circular fountain, perfectly functioning, which represents a balanced ecosystem in which they live in harmony, among pink water lilies and other aquatic plants, numerous red fish. In the evening, the beauty of the place is enhanced by evocative lighting. The rooms available to guests are located on the first floor, once used for the social life of the former owners. Guest access Garden with outdoor pool and relaxation corner. During your stay We are present in the Villa.
