Villa Blanca - Eight Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 16

A seductive, stylish villa with spectacular sea views on the southernmost tip of Puglia.

Villa Blanca occupies a privileged and panoramic position above the exclusive seaside town of Santa Maria di Leuca. Its wonderful infinity pool and shady al fresco areas boast mesmerising views, while the interiors are decorated and furnished to create a bright, airy atmosphere that lends itself to effortless summer living. Daily service means that you can enjoy it all without ever having to lift a finger.

Inside: accommodation at Villa Blanca is spread over the main house, a garden dépendance, and a guesthouse.

On entering the main villa, one's first impression is of calm luminosity, effortless elegance and unostentatious quality. The bright living areas extend over two large interconnecting spaces: a sitting room with fireplace and TV, and a drawing room. Both feature a mixture of antique furnishings, sumptuously comfortable sofas and some splendid designer light fittings. French windows lead out onto the shaded terraces overlooking the pool and the sea.

The dining room, which is an extension of the living areas, leads to a study and on to the top-quality semi-professional kitchen.

The sleeping quarters comprise three delightfully proportioned bedrooms: two doubles and a double-twin. Two have en-suite shower rooms, while the third has an adjacent bathroom with voluptuous sunken bath with shower attachment.

The first dépendance at Villa Blanca is just a few steps away from the main house across the al fresco dining terrace. Here there are two double-twin bedrooms both with an en-suite shower room. These bedrooms are less luxurious than those in the main house but comfortably furnished and welcoming.

Accommodation at Villa Blanca is completed by a guesthouse accessed down a few steps from the terrace running along the front of the main house. This welcoming space comprises a communal living area and three double-twin bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room.

Outside: Villa Blanca stands in its own 4-hectare (10 acres) park, in which there are two other houses belonging to the same owner. Fully-furnished shady terraces flank the villa, providing guests with a dreamy Mediterranean outdoor living experience.

The pool area is superb, offering uninterrupted views of Leuca and the sea, while the large, panoramic infinity pool incorporates a Jacuzzi corner. The beautifully tended gardens give way to the surrounding parkland, cooling pine trees and a green backdrop that sets the villa off perfectly!

The guesthouse has its own splendid section of garden, with manicured lawns, flower beds and a terrace area looking out to sea.

Villa Blanca features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop from the infinity edge so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.
Villa Blanca is located about 2km above Santa Maria di Leuca at the southernmost tip of the Salento peninsular, where the Ionian and Adriatic seas meet. The town has long been a magnet for the wealthy classes in Puglia, who came to build lavish seaside homes here in the early 20th century. The legacy of this is a superb collection of Liberty-style buildings, plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and gelaterie, a beach, and a large marina. Guest staying at Villa Blanca can walk into town, though there is quite a steep climb back and sections of the road are without pavement.

There are many fabulous sandy beaches, coves and grottos to explore within a 10-minute drive of Leuca. These can be even better visited from the water, and it is easy to arrange boat or yacht rentals in the marina.

Within easy driving distance is delightful Baroque Lecce, the fortified island town of Gallipoli and lovely Otranto.
