The Property
Set within a 6.5-hectare estate in the countryside of Alezio near Gallipoli, Property 10657 is surrounded by a magnificent expanse of centuries-old olive trees. More than a traditional farmhouse or a typical Salento masseria, the property combines the charm of rural architecture with contemporary elegance. Property 10657 comprises a central villa with 5 double bedrooms and 4 independent trullo-style dépendances, each with 2 double bedrooms, offering a total of 13 bedrooms for up to 26 guests.

Outdoors, the swimming pool is nestled among olive trees and aromatic plants, while whitewashed timber pergolas provide shaded spots for relaxation. An outdoor oven and barbecue are perfect for summer meals. Scattered throughout the grounds, peaceful corners offer places to read, listen to music or simply enjoy the silence of nature. The estate also features an organic vegetable garden and fruit trees, including figs and almonds. An open-air car park, shaded by centuries-old olive trees, is available to guests.

The central villa is the result of the sensitive restoration of a 19th-century farmhouse. Its original five rooms featured traditional Salento vaulted ceilings built from tufa stone blocks, fireplaces and underground granaries once used to store wheat. Today, the villa combines the character of a historic residence with clean lines and contemporary furnishings. The reception area, crowned by a traditional star vault, leads into a spacious communal living and dining room with a fireplace.

Central Villa (5 Bedrooms):
The central villa features five double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom with a shower. On the ground floor, three bedrooms (26 sqm, 20 sqm and 15 sqm each) enjoy a private outdoor space surrounded by greenery. The entrance-level reception is complemented by the communal living and dining area, a kitchen and a guest bathroom. Upstairs, two double bedrooms (measuring 28 sqm and 20 sqm) open onto a panoramic terrace overlooking the estate. One of these also features an outdoor whirlpool bath.

The interiors combine natural materials with a soft, understated palette. White walls, doors and windows painted in pale grey, and traditional graniglia flooring create bright, timeless spaces. Locally handcrafted furniture adds authenticity, while wrought-iron or four-poster beds bring a touch of traditional charm. The bathrooms feature glass mosaic tiles, complementing the villa's simple, contemporary style. Elegant yet unpretentious, the interiors preserve the spirit of the original farmhouse while offering a refined setting.

4 Independent Trullo-Style Dépendances (8 Bedrooms):
Set apart from the main villa, the four independent trullo-style dépendances provide additional privacy for larger groups. Each has its own entrance and comprises two double bedrooms (measuring 16 sqm and 15 sqm respectively), both with en-suite bathrooms with showers. The bedrooms are connected by a small hallway. These separate units allow guests to enjoy their own space while remaining part of the wider estate, making the property ideal for families and groups of friends travelling together.
