Santa Maria di Leuca,
Salento, Italy
SEPTEMBER 2-9, 2024 | MONDAY-MONDAY
"Il dolce far niente" (the sweetness of doing nothing) is a way of life in Southern Italy that encourages people to slow down, be in the moment, and appreciate the beauty of simplicity.
From learning to knead fresh pasta and floating in the Adriatic Sea to strolling through vineyards and Baroque villages, this retreat invites you to experience the art of slow-living.
Villa Le Biancate
OUR OASIS FOR THE WEEK
Located in the Salento peninsula of Southeast Italy, often described as the heel of Italy's boot, Villa Le Biancate is perched on a cliff overlooking the Adriatic sea.
This incredible property features 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms spread over four separate buildings, making it ideally situated to offer complete relaxation and privacy for all guests.
It also boasts an exceptional infinity pool and a paved poolside area equipped with comfortable sun loungers and plenty of sun filled terraces. Towels, wifi, washing machine and private parking available.
