About this property

Poolside villa with a view among ancient olive trees

Casa dei Venti is a countryside villa, built on an airy rise in Serranova - Carovigno, on the edge of the natural park of Torre Guaceto and minutes away from its beaches, awarded with the 2021 Blue Flag.

From here, most of Salento can be rapidly accessed, be it the white city of Ostuni or the baroc town of Lecce and so on.

The property is inside the area of monumental olive trees and alongside the bike track that crosses the most beautiful sites of the area.

The house is built with traditional local materials and respecting the nature of the area. All parts of the building offer a stunning view of the coast and of the saracen lighthouse of Torre Guaceto

Casa dei Venti sits prominently on a bluff looking out over the protected area of Torre Guaceto and its lighttower. Inspired by the Coromandel Bach House of Crosson Clarke Carnachan, the vacation home was conceived as a simple veranda with rooms.

Two large doors on either side can slide away to open the home and provide a direct connection to the outdoors.
Built from unadorned local stone, Casa dei Venti is also an exploration of traditional local construction techniques and use of renewable resources.

The wide living room with a kitchen island becomes a veranda and opens on the swimming pool (4x12m, h 1.30) through a retractable glass wall.

At the far end of the swimming pool an unshaded solarium area

Two bedroms with ensuite bathrooms with shower - one fitted with a king size bed and the other one can be fitted either with a king size or two single beds.
A third bathroom with shower is accessible from the garden and serves the swimming pool area

Fully fitted island kitchen, vetroceramic cooking stove, dishwasher, espresso and filter coffee machines, toaster, kettle, six person tableware and cutlery, fridge with freezer, electric oven, microwave oven

Photovoltaic water heater + electric water heater, hair drier, washing machine, iron, ironing board

Sunbeds alongside the swimming pool, outdoor portable cooler bucket, bicycle (2)
uncovered parking places within the property

A car is needed to reach casa dei venti. The last 300 metres of the road must be driven very slowly not to disturb local nature and because of the somewhat bumpy road. The nearest small grocery shop is a couple of kilometers away, the next villages with all facilities ( San Vito dei Normanni o Carovigno) are respectively 7 and 10 Km away. The beaches of Torre Guaceto are 4 Km away, the small harbour of Specchiolla and some small facilities is some 7 Km away. A large shopping mall in Brindisi is less than 30 Km away.
The garden around the house and the whole property has steps and stones, toddler and small children ought to be looked after. The property is only partly fenced with the tipical local stone walls, hence we don’t recommend you take your pets with you

Un séjour de détente
Nous avons passé 4j dans la propriété de Paolo, très calme, pour un séjour de détente. La route d’accès est un peu difficile mais c’est parfaitement gerable. Les 2 chambres sont spacieuses, et ont chacune une salle de bain qui est d’autant plus appréciable. Paolo a été très arrangeant pendant tout le séjour et d’une extrême gentillesse.

Great View!
Spacious modern property, with a good sized pool. 15 mins by car to the coast, where there a few wee towns to have a wander and eat some great seafood. Ostuni and Carovigno are a short drive away, and each are a nice day out. All the required paraphernalia is in the villa to ensure you have a comfortable stay, there are decent sized supermarkets are to be found in San Vito dei Normanni (15 min drive). We loved the way the windows disappear into the walls to allow a seamless join between the outside and inside. Paolo the owner was very helpful with directions and advice, there, all in all a good 7 days was had by us. John

14 ruhige Tage und ein kleiner Schrick
Das Haus bietet grundsätzlich alles für einen angenehmen Urlaub für meine zwei Kinder (7&8), meine Frau und mich. Das es in den Schlafzimmern keine Insektengitter gibt hat uns aber ebenso gestört, wie der Geruch aus dem Abfluss in unseren Badezimmer. Als die Klimaanlage im Zimmer der Kinder ausfiel, erfolgte die Reparatur innerhalb 24 Stunden. Das war beeindruckend schnell. Wünschenswert wäre ein Sonnenschutz gegen die Nachmittagssonne und bequeme Sitzmöbel zum Lesen und Faulenzen. Das uns bei der Abreise ein Schrick in einer Scheibe zu Unrecht angelastet wurde, wohl um die Kaution als zusätzliche Miete einbehalten zu können, finde ich nicht schön und hoffe noch auf Einsicht. Flachglasscheiben sind hoffentlich auch in Italien von jeder Haushaltversicherung gedeckt. Die Miete ist schließlich kein Schnäppchen. Die Rückzahlung der Kaution steht uns zu, fehlt aber noch um den Urlaub positiv abschließen zu können. Wir mieten seit über 10 Jahren Häuser in Italien, Gott sei dank ist uns so etwas erstmals passiert.

A TUTTO RELAX !!
Il nostro soggiorno in questa splendida villa è stato fantastico! Per chi come noi cerca il contatto con la natura, la tranquillità e la pace questo posto è l'ideale. Circondata da splendidi ulivi e da un bellissimo panorama ,la villa ,molto moderna semplice e funzionale è completa di tutto dagli elettrodomestici all'ombrellone per la spiaggia,dalle biciclette ai materassini per il bagno nella bella piscina dalla quale potrete godervi le serate estive ammirando le stelle e ascoltando i suoni della natura . Le spiagge sono facilmente raggiungibili in auto e per chi ama fare un po' di esercizio anche in bicicletta .. la proprietà rispecchia pienamente la descrizione del Sig.Pisa, persona molto gentile e disponibile sempre pronto per ogni evenienza.Consigliamo vivamente di passare una vacanza in quest'oasi di pace ..

Oase der Ruhe
Wunderbares, modernes Haus, grosszügige Zimmer, auch in der Küche hat an nichts gefehlt. Der Aussenbereich ist fantastisch mit einer traumhaften Aussicht. Leider keine Essgelegenheit im Freien - das jedoch der einzige Minuspunkt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und jeden Tag genossen.

Ein wirkliches Ferienhaus,Luft,Licht,Sonne,Wasser ,gute Ausstattung mit ein paar kleinen Mänglen,2 Weingläser sind in dieser wunderbaren Region zu wenig und ein bequemes Sofa oder Sessel wäre schön gewesen - aber es war trotzdem sehr schön,auch bei kleinen Problemen wurde sofort geholfen.Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Why they chose this property

A country house is a place into the nature, with the noise of the grasshoppers, the ants, the bees and many other indigenous inhabitants. If you know this, you can get in full the peace and relax that can the place can offer. And if suddenly the place is too quiet, you can quickly reach an historical or cultural or gastronomic excellence nearby
