The Area
L'Argentiera occupies an enviable seafront position just a few minutes' walk from a selection of restaurants, bars and shops at Castro Marina. Up above is the old defensive citadel of Castro with its evocative castle standing majestically on a rocky outcrop. Castro too has some good eateries and it is a joy to wander through its narrow medieval streets. Thanks to the cleanliness of its waters and the quality of its lidos, Castro Marina has been awarded a Blue Flag for the last few years. Heading north or south from Castro along the spectacular coast road, you will pass through charming fishing towns and above rocky coves. To the north, about 20km away, is the gorgeous town of Otranto, while to the south, you will soon come to the charming resort town of Leuca, home to beautiful Liberty villas from the early 20th century, a sanctuary to the Virgin Mary, a glamorous marina and an imposing lighthouse, signaling your arrival at the very heel of the Italian boot! Also within easy reach, and highly recommended, is the beautiful baroque town of Lecce (45 minutes' drive) and the historic island town of Gallipoli (1 hour's drive).

Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Our holiday was brilliant. We have done many villas and L'Argentiera was the best. The house manager was wonderful and went beyond the call of duty. He is a real asset to the villa and made a wonderful villa even better.

I thought that the attention to detail and service and the quality and location of the villa were excellent. We had a really amazing week at L'Argentiera.
Ms Gretchen Sandler, United States of America August 2017
We loved L'Argentiera, the grounds, and the sea. The house manager was great.
Verified guest, July 2017
We absolutely loved our holiday! I have been renting villas in Europe (mostly Italy, but also Spain) for years and never ever before have I received this level of service! The villa was spotless. The flowers and candles added an extra touch of class and warmth that is never found in other villas. The House Manager and your Local Manager were the most helpful two we could ever ask for. The value for the money is excellent. Yes, it is a more premium priced villa but the service you get with it - the daily cleaning service and maid is well worth it. Great value!
Mr Alexander Sotelo, United States of America May 2017
Just sitting at the villa pool or down near the water was great.
Dr Uwe Parpart, Hong Kong September 2016
Nous avons passé un séjour de rêve et je vous en remercie. Mention spéciale pour le manager de la villa. Il a été aux petits soins. Disponible non stop. C'est vraiment un plaisir de passer des vacances sous sa supervisation.
