An oasis of peace and relaxation just a short drive from Lecce and the marine reserve of Porto Cesareo, just off the coast of Puglia.
Masseria Porto Cesareo is ideally located just 10 minutes from the picturesque town of Porto Cesareo on the western coast of Puglia and less than 30 minutes from the baroque city of Lecce, often called the Florence of the South. The villa offers the perfect balance of beachside relaxation and exploration, with easy access to the region’s unique architecture, incredible food, and breathtaking natural beauty. Leverano, the charming town where the villa is situated, is known for its flower cultivation and wineries, including the nearby Conti Zecca winery, just a 5-minute drive away, and Leone de Castris, the first producer of rosé wine in Italy. Guests are also just a short drive from the stunning beaches of Porto San Cesareo and Punta Prosciutto, often referred to as the Maldives of Salento.
Masseria Porto Cesareo is a luxurious retreat in the heart of Puglia, expertly blending traditional masseria charm with contemporary European-inspired design. Once a flower market, the villa has been meticulously renovated to offer a mix of comfort, style, and authenticity. Located near Lecce and Porto Cesareo, it serves as an ideal base for exploring the stunning beaches, exceptional wineries, and renowned culinary scene of the Salento region. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a serene, open living space that flows into a smaller room with a striking chandelier at its centre, designed as a resonance chamber to create a unique and immersive atmosphere. The villa’s décor reflects a refined blend of Nordic and Belgian influences, with carefully selected furniture, including the first-ever chair created with a 3D printer, and artwork by Renzo Buttazzo.
Outside, the villa boasts the largest private swimming pool in the Salento region, measuring 3.5 meters deep and surrounded by sunbeds, relaxation areas, and outdoor dining spaces. The garden features the Orto Sinergico Circolare, a unique circular garden where vegetables, flowers, and wild plants grow symbiotically, creating a fascinating and sustainable environment. For those seeking relaxation, guests can indulge in the private spa, which includes an indoor heated jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath, and sensory showers. The villa also offers the convenience of a dedicated helipad for easy and exclusive access. The attentive staff, including concierge, housekeepers, and a pool lifeguard, ensures top-tier, discreet service, providing complete privacy and an unparalleled luxury experience.
Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the high-end Birgen audio system to the professionally equipped kitchen, where meals are prepared, on request, by staff from the Michelin-starred Bros restaurant in Lecce. The bathrooms feature luxurious beauty kits, including high-quality organic soaps with unique properties, further enhancing the villa’s spa-like experience, highlighting its attention to detail and a true passion for unique design. Masseria Porto Cesareo is a perfect combination of sophisticated design, exceptional comfort, and ultimate privacy and is a haven for those searching for absolute distinction.
The perfect location for a family reunion or a special celebration, surrounded by lush vegetation and the crystal-clear waters of Salento.
