Villa Cenate

Villa Cenate is a simple yet cosy southern Italian villa, set within luscious, private grounds lined by foliage and palm trees. A home-like abode offering privacy and style within a characterful dwelling, brimming with local charm.

Securely set behind a gated entry, offering private parking and a lagoon shaped pool, this home offers pristine outdoor spaces, with a generously proportioned patio dotted with loungers and parasol, ideal for evening drinks or sumptuous lunches at the local pace.

The immaculately maintained lawns offer ample space for picnics, games and frolics, whilst a relaxed dining veranda sets the scene for lively group meals, or a game of table football whilst the air fills with dinner aromas.

The interiors are traditional, with rustic allure and understated style. An immaculately equipped kitchen makes self-catering effortless. An open plan living-dining room provides a natural interplay between indoor and outdoor living via the French windows, whilst the interiors are unfussy, genteel and homey. With timber furnishings, accents of burnt orange and exposed stone walls, contemporary fireplace and eclectic artwork, Villa Cenate is not short of character.

Four double bedrooms are graciously finessed, executed for serenity and restoration. Naturally understated, they offer crisp quality linen, soft ambient lighting and individual colour quirks whether these be sunset oranges or deep crimson. It's just a couple of minutes drive to the nearest town where you will find wonderful restaurants serving traditional cuisine in the beautiful old quarter; make sure you sample some of the local wine which is known to be the best in this region! A little further afield, head to the stunning beaches of Torre Suda with it's rocky coves or the glorious and sandy Baie Verde or explore fascinating local villages and towns full of history and charm including Gallipoli, Specchia and Lecce.

Villa Cenate epitomises simplicity, unadorned ease of day-to-day life and the opportunity to reconnect as a group within sublime surroundings, with ample space to spread out, and enjoy this home, gardens and the spectacular region beyond.
