Impeccable contemporary design meets old palazzo grandeur at this luxurious home set equidistance between the Ionian and Adriatic warm seas (twenty-minute drive) and close to the historic city of Lecce (ten minutes drive).

A former aristocratic villa left to ruin –? the home has been expertly reimagined by its owner (handily, an award-winning architect) to create a contemporary palace made for modern living.

Beneath its lofty, vaulted ceilings, fine art, photography, and furniture from some of the 20th Century greats add layers of interest and style –? while marble-clad finishes and statement lighting bring all the luxury. And there's room for you all to spill out here, as each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom.

Sunny mornings call for expressos on the vast terraces outside before a few lazy laps in the pool. Then up the ante with a game of table tennis or a walk around the four hectares of ancient olive and citrus groves.

When thoughts turn to food, gather your ensemble beneath the shady pergola on the outdoor dining terrace for a feast of focaccia, burrata, and other Apulian delicacies – the chef-worthy gallery kitchen makes cooking a joy. Or head into the graceful city of Lecce (a ten-minute drive) to eat out instead – its baroque architecture, upmarket boutiques, and authentic restaurants is an afternoon well spent.
