The pure sea-view summer house
Luminous, airy, and seemingly floating above the southern tip of Puglia, Luna Rossa is a harmonious home where al fresco living reigns supreme. Surrounded by terraces, emerald lawns, and dry-stone walls in honeyed local stone, the property's elevated position offers fabulous vistas out over the sparkling Ionian Sea. And with an infinity pool and endless sandy beaches just a few minutes' drive away, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to simple summery pleasures.

Luna Rossa is located at the southernmost tip of the Salento peninsula overlooking the beachfront villages of Marina di Felloniche and Marina San Gregorio, both of which are just a few minutes' drive away.
The coast is characterised by pristine sandy beaches, rocky coves, lazy seaside villages and some superb Baroque and Liberty architecture. Just 4.5km away is the charming town of Santa Maria di Leuca, which offers a good selection of restaurants, bars, shops and an internationally famous yachting marina.
In terms of beaches, you could hardly hope for a better spot, thanks to the long expanses of fine sand that run for mile upon mile up the Ionian coastline. There are many options, including Baia di Ciardo, which is just 900m away. Others, include Felloniche, Marina San Gregorio, Torre Vado and Marina di Pescoluse. The Adriatic coastline, on the other hand, is rocky and dramatic, characterised by Karstic sea grottos and deep inlets that have been gauged out of the limestone cliffs over millennia, making it a fascinating location for boat trips.
The unmissable baroque town of Lecce is just over an hour's drive, and there are several other beautiful towns even closer, including the fortified Ionian island town of Gallipoli (40mins) and its Adriatic sister, Otranto (1hr).
Salento is also home to many charming, off-the-beaten-track towns and villages tucked away in the gentle countryside. Each one has its own particular character, history, gastronomic specialities and we highly recommend you visit a few.
