Citrus garden house with dipping pool

Fully restored with passion and love, the house sits between two historic gardens featuring old citrus trees, Mediterranean flowers, and a variety of plants. The ground floor opens onto the garden, which also houses a beautiful jacuzzi/pool. Generous windows invite the garden into the house and offer wonderful views of the Mediterranean fauna.

A spacious and state-of-the-art kitchen leaves nothing to be desired, and vaulted ceilings, as well as antique floor tiles, respect the history of this exquisite house. In winter, a beautiful stone fireplace allows you to enjoy the wonderful smell of burning olive wood and to completely relax.

Salento-style old town house

The first floor is surrounded by south-facing terraces which offer views across the citrus garden and Nardò’s old town. The first-floor kitchenette adds flexibility. It’s perfect for brewing a morning coffee, preparing a bottle for the baby, or preparing a light breakfast.

The property is a marvelous Salento-style renovation, using traditional materials and respecting its original beauty while offering all the comforts of a modern house.

For your relaxation and comfort, the garden includes a large sunbathing mattress, sun loungers, a wooden table with six chairs, and a glass table directly outside the kitchen with four chairs. The jacuzzi/pool uses salt filtering and is either heated by the beautiful Salento sun or by a heat pump.

Spacious terraces to enjoy Nardò’s sunshine

On the first-floor terrace, you find a stone dining table with four chairs as well as two easy chairs to relax.
On the upper terrace, you can admire the sunsets and enjoy a drink at the coffee table or relax in the lounge chairs.
