THE CHARM OF VILLA ADRIA
Villa Adria is surrounded by a stunning sea view-facing terrace with a private swimming pool and is located less than one kilometer from the crystal-clear waters of Marina di Novaglie, in the southern Salento area of Puglia. Recently restored, Villa Adria is nestled among ancient olive trees, pajare (traditional stone trulli typical of the Salento region), and boasts breathtaking views of the Adriatic coast.
It is situated within the Costa Otranto-Santa Maria di Leuca Regional Natural Coastal Park, a protected area along the Salento coastline, characterized by olive groves, pine forests, Mediterranean scrub, and steep cliffs overlooking the sea.
The villa is set on a 1,000-square-meter plot, which includes the expansive terrace, swimming pool, and an ancient olive grove. The property also houses the private parking area at the rear. All amenities are exclusive to the villa and not shared. The access road to the house is private and shared only with the neighboring houses.
THE LOCATION
Villa Adria is located in Marina di Novaglie, approximately a 1.5-hour drive south of Brindisi Airport, 7 km northwest of Santa Maria di Leuca, and 15 km from the renowned Maldives of Salento beaches. A true gem of Salento, Marina di Novaglie offers stunning panoramic views of the crystal-clear ocean and is perfect for swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and cycling. The coastline can be explored by swimming, kayaking, or on a guided boat tour to discover the breathtaking sea caves that adorn this stretch of coast.
THE HOUSE
The house comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan living and kitchen area.
The bedrooms are arranged as follows:
• Bedroom one has a queen-size bed, with both internal and external access, and a complete en-suite bathroom (including both a bathtub and shower).
• Bedrooms two and three are both double bedrooms with two single beds (which can be pushed together to form queen-size beds), each offering internal and external access. Bedroom three has internal access only through bedroom two.
• Bedroom four is a bunk-bed room, accessible through the living room, which is ideal for children but can also accommodate adults.
The living room features large frameless glass folding doors that open onto the terrace and swimming pool, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces while offering breathtaking views across the Adriatic coast. The view is mesmerizing from sunrise to sunset, as the light changes and alters the surrounding landscape.
The living area includes a fully equipped kitchen with Leccese stone countertops, an oven, microwave, gas hob, large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and all the necessary utensils to prepare a delicious meal (crockery, cutlery, platters, pots, pans, glasses).
Throughout the house, there is air conditioning and fans (except in bedroom four, which only has fans), providing comfort during the summer, along with heating for the cooler months of the year. A large open stone fireplace in the lounge adds warmth and ambiance.
THE OUTDOOR TERRACE
The outdoor terrace wraps around the house, offering versatile spaces for relaxation. Whether you prefer lounging under the olive tree beside the swimming pool, enjoying a café latte on the front terrace's outdoor lounge furniture, dining alfresco at the wooden table under the pergola next to the built-in barbecue, or having an aperitif on the roof terrace, the terrace allows you to enjoy a variety of settings while always admiring the cobalt sea view and panoramic surroundings.
The swimming pool, with its ocean views, provides a refreshing escape during hot days. The pool is 3 by 4 meters in size, with a large shallow step that is perfect for children to stand on and adults to relax on while in the pool. It uses saltwater, which is gentler on the skin and eyes and promotes better physical and environmental wellbeing. The saltwater is sanitized through electrolysis, producing chlorine that kills bacteria. The two outdoor showers, nestled under the olive trees, offer a serene setting for rinsing off before using the swimming pool or after returning from the beach.
The wooden waterproof pergola next to the large barbecue features an outdoor kitchen and a grand wooden dining table that overlooks the ocean, ideal for alfresco dining. The pergola was custom-built to enable outdoor living in the Puglian sunshine while being protected from the elements. Above the barbecue area, a young aromatic herb garden (including rosemary, sage, lavender, thyme) fills the air with a delightful fragrance and provides fresh herbs for your cooking during your stay at Villa Adria.
The roof terrace, accessible via a wide staircase on the side of the house or a smaller staircase at the back, offers sweeping views of the Salento coastline and Adriatic Sea. It is the perfect spot for an aperitif at the end of the day.
The laundry outhouse, complete with a washing machine and sink, offers an additional useful service during your stay.
The olive grove, which stretches up the hill behind the house, ensures privacy from neighboring properties. The private parking area, large enough for three or four cars, is located in the olive grove, just a short walk from the villa. This completes Villa Adria, making it a truly comfortable and ideal setting for a dream vacation.
SERVICES AND AVAILABLE AMENITIES
A full linen service is included, which covers complete bed linen (sheet set, pillowcases), bathroom linen (shower towels, face towels, guest hand towels, and shower mats), as well as beach towels for the pool. The linen is sanitized through a certified washing and sanitizing process.
The villa also offers a private swimming pool, built-in barbecue, laundry outhouse with washing machine, air conditioning and fans throughout the house (with heating for cooler months), a fully equipped kitchen with microwave/oven, gas hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, hairdryer, wifi internet, outdoor showers, and private parking.
