The Area
Villa del Faro sits just outside 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 of 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. The villa is located about 1km above Santa Maria di Leuca. Guests staying at Villa del Faro can walk into town but please note that sections of the road can be quite busy and 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.

Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
We had a wonderful time at Villa del Faro and it was a lovely, well appointed home. The caretaker was exceptionally efficient and an excellent cook. She really looked after us and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy.

Overall our holiday was a dream. Villa del Faro is incredibly beautiful, and allowed many couples to spend time together, but to feel they had personal space for themselves. The housekeeper was great, a real asset to the villa.

In terms of quality, setting and views, Villa del Faro gets 5 out of 5. The housekeeper was lovely.
MM, United Kingdom August 2018
Villa del Faro was immaculate and had good facilities. The kitchen was very nice and well kitted out. We enjoyed the views, the in-villa dinner on the first night and the pizza evening..
