Villa Sofia is an ancient "palmento" in the heart of Salento. Thanks to a careful renovation of the original structure, it's able to give a relaxing stay and a discovery of the Apulian tradition. A set of Mediterranean environments surround the large garden enriched by a beautiful swimming pool. The space was originally a millstone where grapes were processed to turn it into wine. The entire structure is made of Lecce stone, a typical material of Salento constructions. At first glance, it is immediately clear that once it was a place where traditional work was carried out and you can immediately observe the magnificent renovation work. Villa Sofia is composed of 3 main buildings and a large garden with a swimming pool. To welcome customers at the entrance is an old olive tree of the millstone. The first building you meet, on the right, is one of the five bedrooms consisting of a bunk bed and a double bed, furnished with two wardrobes and a desk. This room is characterized by the millstone: a low tank dug into the rock where the grapes were pressed to produce the must. During the renovation, this element has been filled and is now the basis for the double bed; the room also has a bathroom. Going straight on, you access the second structure of the house: upon entering you find yourself in a living room including two sofas and armchairs: an environment to be enjoyed in the company of family and / or friends. This space can be used as a bedroom, having the possibility of opening the sofas and transforming them into two double beds. Further on, is a second bedroom with king size bed and a bathroom. Passing through the garden you can access another sleeping area; this room is connected to its bathroom through another living room which can also be used as a study. These rooms were the cellar of the old millstone, used to store large wine barrels. Moving onto the upper floor of the house you can find the other two bedrooms which include a double bed each. On the same floor there is also a utility room with a washing machine, where you can do your laundry independently. There are also two terraces from which you can observe the stars at night. The kitchen, complete with everything needed for daily life, is located in the third building, characterized by a very high ceiling and a very large space. It is also equipped with a fireplace that can be used in the less hot periods. The teak floor of the kitchen borders into the garden, on this wooden platform there is a long asian table excellent for outdoor meals enjoying the fresh Salento air. All rooms offer large windows that make them well lit during the day.
Abbiamo soggiornato a Villa Sofia in 2 famiglie, con 4 bambini piccoli. Gli spazi sono eccellenti, la casa è stupenda e molto curata, dotata di ogni necessità. Il paesino è molto carino e la casa è vicina ad ogni servizio necessario. Rocco è sempre stato molto disponibile. Monia, la signora che si occupa delle pulizie, è stata veramente eccezionale e molto disponibile. Soggiorno da 5 stelle, grazie per questa bellissima vacanza!! Assolutamente consigliata!!!
If you are looking for a gorgeous home, in a fantastic location, managed by people who care, then you really can’t do better. Every room is tastefully decorated in simple, outstandingly beautiful art and furniture. Every space, and there are many, inspires. We were two families of three. We absolutely loved returning to the house for a leisurely swim in the pool after our days of exploring the beaches and towns of Salento. Half our evenings we dined at home and thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen and dining spaces. The other half we explored local bars, restaurants, and gelato shops. The place was perfect. Really perfect.
Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Rocco. La maison est tes grande et nous avions tous notre espace et notre intimité (nous étions venus entre amis, deux familles avec des adolescents). La piscine est grande et très agréable, tout comme le jardin et la terrasse à l’ombre des canisses. La maison est vraiment superbe. Tout est de bon goût (en tout cas à notre goût). La décoration est très soignée. Et Monia, qui s’occupe du ménage et de régler les petits problèmes, est très réactive et de bons conseils. Cette maison a une âme. Nous nous y sentions tellement bien que nous avions du mal à la quitter pour aller visiter sa très belles région qu’est le Salento. Je recommande vivement cette maison. Et j’espère pouvoir y retourner bientôt !
One of a kind place. Felt like home! People around extremely friendly and helpful. We felt sad leaving and to go back to our real home.... Big thank you to the hosts accommodating my requests.
A beautiful space, very tastefully decorated. Each room was different and the original old features of the building showing through which made it such an eclectic and interesting place to stay! The area was really quiet and a cute little village to enjoy 1 minute walk down the road. The house was very well equipped too. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this one of a kind property. Definitely coming back!
Villa Sofia is located in a hamlet nearby Minervino di Lecce, Specchia Gallone. This small village has everything you need. A few meters from the structure you will find: supermarket, bakery, vegetable counter, bar, tobacconist, two restaurants and, if you need it, a very good barbershop! In 5 minutes by bike (there will be 3 bikes included with your reservation) you can reach Minervino, there you will find an ATM, a butcher, a market and many other services. The global position with respect to the Salento of these villages is perfect for visiting both the Adriatic coast (Pto Badisco, Otranto, Santa Cesarea, Castro, Torre Dell'Orso, Laghi Alimini) and the Ionian coast (Gallipoli, Maldives of Salento, Porto Selvaggio, Punta Della Suina). Otherwise, if you are looking to discover the culinary and cultural tradition of the Salento hinterland, you have a very long series of towns and cities at your disposal just a few minutes away by car that offers festivals, typical restaurants and wonderful historical structures.
The area is full of bicycle paths that branch off among the olive trees. Guided tours can be organized in neighboring villages reachable by bike.
However, it is recommended to have a car, as it is difficult to move around using public transportation.
