Overview
Nestled in the protected area of Porto Selvaggio in southern Puglia, Villa Agave benefits from breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea, all the way from the village of Gallipoli and up to Porto Cesareo. With stylish interiors and impressive design, a holiday here will immerse you into the chilled out lifestyle of the Mediterranean, forging memories that will endure long after you've departed from this sun-drenched paradise.
The contemporary interiors feature rustic stone floors, marble bathrooms and minimalist design furnishings alongside further modern features such as Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, an I-Pod docking station and surround sound system. The open-plan kitchen features all the amenities you’ll ever need to prepare an Italian feast with gorgeous local produce whilst three comfortable and spacious bedrooms each have their own en-suite shower rooms and offer amazing sea views.
The vast garden is like an oasis for those wishing to spend their holiday resting and relaxing with Mediterranean plants and a private pond enhancing the serene ambience, not to mention the large swimming pool. Enjoy those sea views from one of the many sun loungers, and when you need some respite from the rays just move on to the shaded terrace. There is also an excellent al-fresco dining area with a barbecue, which is sure to come in handy for evening meals as you enjoy the incredible sun sets.
The rocky shores of the crystal-clear Ionian are within a short walk whether you are seeking wild surroundings or inviting summer lidos with sun-loungers and a bar. Drive a little further to beautiful bays and yet more idyllic spots for swimming, as far as the exclusive village of Santa Caterina with its charming restaurants and watersports, backed by peaceful pine forests abundant with wildlife.
Explore the baroque treasures of nearby Nardò, discover more historic delights in the famous town of Lecce and admire the wonderful vistas in Gallipoli, just north of the brilliant stretch of coastline at Baia Verde. Or simply soak up the unspoilt surroundings of Porto Selvaggio Natural Park, a true natural paradise in this enchanting corner of southern Italy.

Absolutely perfect in every way.
Absolutely perfect in every way. The location was private and quiet, yet close enough to many of the best towns of the Apulian region. The home was exactly as pictured. Bright, airy, and filled with natural light. Very comfortable beds, incredibly clean. The pool area and gardens overlooking the Ionian Sea were spectacular. Gio is a kind and thoughtful host, and his property manager Carola was exceptional. We felt very welcomed in his home. We appreciated the excellent communication and responsiveness. Thank you for an unforgettable stay. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for the perfect location to visit the Salento peninsula.
