The Location
At the southernmost tip of the Salento peninsula, Santa Maria di Leuca occupies a spectacular position where the Ionian and Adriatic seas meet. Known for its crystal-clear waters, elegant seafront and historic villas, the town combines the atmosphere of a refined seaside resort with the authentic character of southern Puglia. The town is crowned by the Basilica of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae and its iconic lighthouse, one of the most recognisable landmarks of the Salento coast.
The villa is located just 50 metres from the coast and within easy reach of Leucas marina, beaches and waterfront restaurants. From the marina, boat excursions explore the spectacular sea caves along the coast, including the famous Grotta del Diavolo and Grotta del Presepe. The surrounding coastline offers a succession of hidden coves, clear waters and charming seaside towns, while the area’s rich culinary tradition centres around fresh seafood, local olive oil, friselle, rustico and pasticciotto, accompanied by regional wines such as Negroamaro and Primitivo.
