About this property

After buying the property, we personally over-viewed the restoration of this typical stone house (locally called "pajara") composed of two connected blocks, one of which is circular in shape. Originally built to store agricultural tools and occasionally supply a roof to olive pickers in the autumn months, it is now a fully equipped villa with a rural character. The outside space is ideally organized to enjoy the long sunny days and cool summer evenings by the pool and under the large canopy or the shade of the olive trees. There is an outdoor shower next to the pool (10m x 5m). The house has a Wi-Fi connection. Especially during the summer months, visitors can enjoy numerous religious and cultural events. Food festivals are organized almost daily by the surrounding villages where a variety of local delicacies and wines can be tasted. Numerous beautiful sandy and rock beaches are reachable within a short drive, the closest being 8min away.

Serenity in Salento

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming house, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The location is fantastic—nestled in a peaceful area yet conveniently close to beautiful beaches and a selection of delightful restaurants. The garden is nothing short of breathtaking, providing a serene and picturesque setting that enhanced our stay. The house itself is beautifully maintained, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into its upkeep. The welcoming team was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Emanuela, the owner, was exceptionally responsive, kind, and gracious, which made our experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this place is a real find—a perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Emanuela, for such a memorable stay!

Wir hatten eine traumhafte Zeit

Wir hatten das Haus für 7 Nächte gebucht und waren absolut begeistert. Das Haus lässt keine Wünsche offen. Der Pool sorgte im Besonderen bei unseren Kindern für sehr viel Freude. Der Pool ist an einer Stelle so tief, dass man von dem kleinen Sprungbrett sehr gut in den Pool springen kann. Wir hatten schon viele Häuser mit Pool, jedoch war dieser vom Spaßfaktor her herausstechend. Der gesamte Außenbereich ist sehr gepflegt und hat mehrere Orte an denen man sich gemütlich aufhalten kann. Durch die besonders warme Zeit im Sommer waren die klimatisierten Schlafzimmer eine Wohltat in der Nacht. Emanuela ist eine sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, die einem die gesamte Zeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite steht. Danke Emanuela für diese tolle Zeit! Auch Livio, der sich um den Garten und Pool gekümmert hat, ist ein sehr freundlicher Mensch. Wir können den Aufenthalt uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Entspannte Spätsommertage

Le Pajare liegt etwas außerhalb des Ortes Sannicola mitten in Olivenhainen. Das sehr gepflegte Grundstück ist deutlich größer als auf den Abbildungen erkennbar, bietet jeglichen Komfort im Außenbereich und überrascht mit vielen Details wie einem kleinen Kakteengarten, einer mit blauen Blumen geschmückten Einfahrt oder mit Zitronen- und Feigenbäumen. Signor Livio empfing uns sehr freundlich. Le Pajare ist mit viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet, die Räume sind großzügig geschnitten, es fehlt an nichts. Die Kommunikation mit der Eigentümerin Emanuela verlief absolut erfreulich, Emanuela ist sehr sympathisch, sie antwortet stets sehr schnell, ist immer erreichbar und gibt auch gerne passende Tipps ab. Dank des großen Gartens nebst gepflegtem Pool, der ruhigen Lage des Grundstücks, der nahen attraktiven Ziele wie Gallipoli oder Otranto und den vielen schnell erreichbaren Strände haben wir abwechslungsreiche, aber entspannte Spätsommertage verbracht, der einzige Minuspunkt - wenn man das überhaupt so sagen darf - war, dass wir keine Gelegenheit hatten die viele Interessen mit uns teilende Emanuela persönlich kennen zu lernen. Wir können das Objekt gerne uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen. Bettina und Bernd

Traumhaftes Anwesen

Eines können wir mit Sicherheit sagen: in Live ist die Anlage nochmal viel schöner. Das gesamte Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und auch sehr sauber. Der Außenbereich ist ebenso einfach wundervoll. Groß, geräumig, gemütlich. Die Kommunikation mit der Eigentümerin klappte einwandfrei. Der einzige, kleine Haken: die Pool-Sauberkeit. Es sammelt sich viel zu schnell Dreck (von den Bäumen, Blumen etc) am Grund/Boden des Pools an. Da müsste man 2 mal am Tag reinigen um die Sauberkeit zu gewährleisten. Wir hatten bereits mehr als 7 Ferienhäuser mit Poolanlagen (Toskana, Apulien, Umbrien) mit verschiedenster Ausstattung und hatten nie Probleme damit und Wind gibt es überall. Natürlich wurde auch hierbei sehr schnell reagiert und auch eine Reinigung vorgenommen, was wir sehr geschätzt haben. Jedoch wird die Problematik dadurch nicht dauerhaft behoben. Aber das ist nur ein kleines Manko gewesen. Was diese tolle Anlage noch ergänzen würde, wären ein Carport und ein Ganzkörperspiegel (Platz im Haus wäre dafür genügend vorhanden) Conclusio: Wir würden definitiv dieses Anwesen wieder buchen.

INCREDIBLE PLACE!!

WE LOVE THIS PROPERTY!! We had a two week stay here and can't say enough about how beautiful the house and grounds are, as well as the hospitality of Emanuella and Livio!! Livio is attentive without being intrusive and is a wonderful man... he also brought us some of the sweetest fresh cantaloupes we've ever had several times. We fell in love with the Puglia region and definitely plan to return again in the future. It was extremely hot while we were there, but the AC in the rooms and the beautifully cooled swimming pool more than made up for it. The house itself is immaculately clean and well... just flat out cool... we enjoyed several sunsets from the roof and the views are spectacular. The local Super Mac is a great store to get anything you might need and Sannicola and Tuglie (Origini Cafe for coffee and pastries is a must) are both beautiful towns with abundant options for eating and drinking. It is also an easy 10-12 minute drive into Gallipoli and we spent several days enjoying that amazing town and the public beach is a great swimming and sunning option with easy parking and access. We loved the food, staff and service at the Buena Vista there with its amazing views and cool breezes and there are some really great places to eat in the alleys of the Old Town. We also spent a great day doing the coastal drive from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca... stunning drives with lots of places to stop and relax, take pics and we highly recommend L'Incanto, which is in a small village just outside of SM di Leuca. If your Italian language skills aren't at least functional here, you will need to be able to use a translator app to help, as we found very few people in the region speak English (which is actually quite cool) but you have to work at communication. Navigation if you drive can also be stressful as Google Maps can play some tricks on you when you least expect it. And if you are going to drive you should be prepared to be assertive and drive with purpose without being aggressive just because the locals do... they know the roads and customs and you don't. I grew up driving in LA and pride myself on being able to handle just about anything but this is a totally different kind of experience. I cannot say enough how great this place is and how much we appreciated being able to spend a couple of weeks here. Thank you Emanuella for the most memorable vacation ever!!

Wonderful house in a relaxing environment

Our family (2 adults + 2 children, 10 and 12 years old) spent a week in this beautiful and wonderful house on the countryside. The house and the amazing garden offered a perfect and relaxing environment and gave us a nice base for our holiday. By car you reach amazing beaches, caves and small Italian towns within 15-20 minutes. The house was spotless and the communication with the owner as well as the caretaker worked really well. We’d come back without hesitation and could strongly recommend the house any day to other families. We’ve rented houses abroad for years in different countries and this one stand out as one of the best.

Peaceful break

Fantastic property. Private pool an absolute highlight. Welcoming host and owner. All wonderful. Is in a rural location a few minutes drive to the town of Sannicola. We loved our morning visits to the local fruit/veg vans. Driving distance to Gallipoli and Lecce (an absolute gem) lovely local beaches - some are better than others so do look around. Mosquitos are an issue. Didn’t see a single snake but lots of friendly lizards/gekko’s. :)

Relaxing stay.

The communication with the owners was excellent and they responded very quickly. Livio met us at the property which was great as we didn’t need codes etc to get keys. Villa was really well equipped and we didn’t need to buy any sundaries. It was great using the wood provided for the bbq and being able to pick the veg. Good pool.

About the host

Hosted by Emanuela Pace

My name is Emanuela and together with my husband and children would like to welcome all our guests to our peaceful retreat! My husband and I are originally from this area but we have been living abroad, in different countries, for over twenty years. We bought this property in 2008 and had the stone house completely refurbished because we wanted to give some tangible roots to our children. We wanted them to have a sense of belonging since they were born abroad and always lived far away from their extended family. I am happy to say that this goal has been achieved! We have rented our house for many years and all our guests have always been very satisfied. Some of them have also come back.

Why they chose this property

Our house is quite unique in shape and it is immersed in the typical Salento countryside: intense red soil, century old olive trees and deep scent from bushes of lavender, rosemary and sage. It is a very quiet place and the only noise during the day is the sound of the cicadas, but the nearest village with shops, cafés and good trattorias is just over a kilometer away. The swimming pool provides a welcomed sense of relief from the heat, but many different beaches are within a short drive and they are definitely worth exploring. It is also very interesting to visit the old towns of Gallipoli and Otranto, just to name a couple of unique places within a short drive distance, and it is highly recommended to explore the historic centre of Lecce with its many baroque churches and buildings.

What makes this property unique

Our house also offers the possibility to experience the delicious local cuisine. There is an abundance of restaurants or trattorias and the price for eating good quality meals is extremely reasonable. For the guests who like to cook there is a vegetable garden just a few steps away from the house and vegetables can be just picked and prepared. The house comes complete with our “guardian angel” Livio who will be welcoming the guests and can be contacted at any moment for information or assistance. He doesn’t speak English but is able to communicate. We can always be reached by phone and will try to help as much as possible.
