Holiday Home/Apartment - 12 persons - Corso Ferilli - 73034 - Gagliano Del Capo

A few minutes drive from Santa Maria di Leuca, outside the ancient village of Gagliano del Capo, we offer our most demanding customers a charming and spacious residence that will offer the opportunity to spend an unforgettable holiday. The ancient palazzo of l’Altra Metà dates back to the late 1700s and has belonged to the same family for 3 generations. Recently renovated and managed for a few years as a B&B, lately the building is being rented out for the exclusive use of individual groups or families. Guests can immerse themselves in the typical atmosphere of the places, marked by the bell’s tolling, and the slow passage of time. They can visit the historic center of Gagliano where in summer artistic and entertainment events for adults and children are often organized, and reach the sea and others villages in a few minutes by car. Outside the building there is an idyllic countryside whilst the narrow alleys of the town are leading to the historic center where all the main services are located (reachable even with a short walk). The palazzo is majestic and is spread over two large levels interconnected by internal stairs with bedrooms on both the ground floor and the first floor. L’Altra Metà can comfortably accommodate 12 people in its 6 beautiful bedrooms, all spacious, bright, with high vaulted ceilings and each with its own shower-room “en suite”. The building has a double entrance: one leading into the dining room and kitchen and a second leading into the garden. On the ground floor there are two bedrooms, the kitchen, the living room with TV and sofas, the dining room, while on the first floor there are three other bedrooms (one of which has the possibility of hosting a couple with children in as it is a two-room apartment with two single beds located in the communicating room, another has a romantic balcony with a view towards the countryside and the sunset). A sixth bedroom - housed in an old barn, is located on the stairs that lead from the kitchen to the first floor and terrace. The pride of this magnificent structure is its garden, impeccably tidy and full of flowers and ornamental plants, as well as being embellished with some beautiful architectural elements, first of all the beautiful colonnade on which a dense vine plant is woven. The swimming pool (measuring 7 meters x 7 meters, depth 140 cm - hydromassage jet on one side) is almost set in the space delimited by the colonnade and has a paved area with modern umbrellas and sun loungers. Outside the kitchen of the building there is a dining area in the shade of large parasol umbrellas, while an area of ??the garden is enriched by a soft lawn. The garden is the fulcrum of the villa, the place to spend moments of fun and relaxation. Being inside a small village, however, the utmost efforts are required from guests to avoid night noises that may disturb the people who live nearby. The Other Half also has a large level terrace where you can admire romantic sunsets over the surrounding countryside every day. The South of Salento is a remote and fascinating place where the land gets narrower and the extreme edges of Puglia divide the two Ionian and Adriatic seas. The building is located in the historic center of Arigliano, a wonderful and characteristic village, part of the town of Gagliano del Capo. Within walking distance you will find all the main services such as shops and supermarkets. Furthermore, Gagliano del Capo is very lively, with restaurants, trattorias and pizzerias and various events organized by the municipality to brighten up the summer evenings. There are numerous coastal towns to visit: Santa Maria di Leuca which is about 5 km away, with its ancient villas from the early twentieth century and the new tourist port; the "Ciolo", about 3 km away, a fascinating inlet where you can swim or have lunch overlooking the sea (reachable on foot from the center of Gagliano through a very fascinating nature trail) and "Pescoluse", about 10 km, with its beautiful sandy beaches, free or equipped with bathing establishments.
