rivo

Set just a few miles from Lecce, the crown jewel of Puglia, this luxury 2-bedroom holiday villa for rent in Italy is located in one of the most sought-after destinations. The charming outdoor area boasts a swimming pool completed by a sunbathing area, equipped with sun loungers, to lounge together under the citrus trees as family and friends can gather poolside for leisurely lunches. Accompanied by such a stunning panorama, it will be impossible for every guest not to step off repeatedly for a swimming retreat. The lovely covered pergolas are the ideal shady spots to take a break from the sun in the afternoon, enhanced by some natural wicker details that cover the outdoor chandeliers creating soft lighting and swings. The real magic of this region is in the simple pleasures afforded by its fabulous location, sipping drinks while enjoying the scenic natural views and the tranquillity of country life. An additional marvellous gazebo, equipped with hammocks and a coffee table surrounded by floor cushions and poufs, gives plenty of outdoor spaces to every guest looking for peace and some time in solitude. Anciently an old water tower, after a top-to-toe renovation this iconic estate now hits the sweet spot between the classic glamour of its historic roots and the sophistication of contemporary design. Rivo features two elegant bedrooms, each one with an en suite bathroom, in addition to a guest bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances thought to satisfy every wish, from the espresso machine for a fresh morning awakening to the oven to be carried away by culinary inspiration and try delicious handmade local recipes.
Widely known for its quintessential Mediterranean climate, vibrant atmosphere, and pristine beaches, Puglia is one of the ultimate destinations for savvy travellers ready to dive into a new adventure full of food delicacies and historic charming centres.
