Vibrant Seaside Residence on the Adriatic Coast in Salento, Puglia, Italy

Perched in Castro Marina with sweeping views over the Apulian Adriatic coast, this villa offers a truly exclusive seaside escape. The refined 19th-century residence is distinguished by its grand staircase linking the garden to the main house, as well as its signature rotonda on the sea, beautifully finished with blue majolica tiles.

Named after its former owner, celebrated for hosting lively dance gatherings in the 1960s and 1970s, the villa has since been reimagined as a vibrant expression of colour, creativity, and the freedom to mix styles, periods, and materials without limitation.

A true collector’s home, the villa presents a striking interplay between art and design. Its interiors pay homage to Ettore Sottsass and the Memphis Group, showcasing a thoughtfully curated selection of iconic pieces accumulated over time, seamlessly blended with contemporary furnishings and artworks to create a dynamic, ever-evolving aesthetic.

The housekeeper will prepare breakfast every day, as well as light lunches and dinners, if requested by guests. Please note that the cost of ingredients, drinks, and incidental expenses is not included and must be paid upon presentation of receipts. The villa has a housekeeper, a gardener, a maintenance man, and a caretaker, as well as cleaning staff, who are available to assist guests throughout their stay. Their discreet presence ensures that guests can fully enjoy the property.
