Enjoy a unique stay at this home-away-from-home, built in the traditional pajaru style, native to the Italian region of Puglia. It’s the kind of place you’ll never forget and will surely be one of the top highlights of your stay.
Spend your days by the private pool, lounging in the hammock, or head down to the beach, which is just a short walk away.
The interior of the home is incredibly unique. The living and dining area is minimalist but has everything you could need and want, such as a comfortable couch and a dining table perfect for a romantic dinner for two. The kitchen is well-equipped and located at the end of the living space.
The bedroom is housed in a pajaru, a traditional Puglian dry stone hut. Like the rest of the home, it contains everything you need and nothing more, creating an environment that promotes relaxation. The bedroom features a large circular bed, a swing chair, and minimal décor, allowing you to fully appreciate the traditional style of the home. The bathroom is modern, featuring a large shower with a stunning crystal wall. The sink is housed in an old stone vat, maintaining the unique and charming aesthetic of the home.
The outdoor area is equally stunning, showcasing how the house harmonizes with nature. Lush gardens and vegetation surround the property, with a large dining table set beneath an ancient olive tree. The saltwater pool is the perfect place to relax and take a dip, while being environmentally friendly.
