Villa Acquamarina

A Private Hamlet Overlooking the Mediterranean

This distinctive property near Gagliano del Capo is composed of five dry-stone houses set within lush, terraced gardens. The design is an interpretation of Puglian tradition, with seven bedrooms accommodating up to 15 guests. A seaview pool and an illuminated rooftop terrace provide beautiful spaces for gathering, all connected by gardens where pine groves meet sea breezes.

Using traditional materials, the architecture honors the Salento landscape, while the layout encourages a free-flowing lifestyle where guests can come together on sun-drenched terraces or retreat to their own sanctuary.

Inside each of the houses, the atmosphere is one of understated comfort, with high-end kitchen amenities, plush living room armchairs, natural textures, and modern comforts like air conditioning.

Outside, a pool is surrounded by sun loungers and shaded nooks, as well as terraced gardens filled with pines and Mediterranean scrub. The highlight is an illuminated rooftop terrace, the perfect stage for sunsets.

The property sleeps up to 15 guests, its seven bedrooms (and seven bathrooms) distributed among the separate stone houses. Casa Grande has one flexible (double or two singles) bed and one double, plus a shared bathroom. Casa Sopra has one double and one bathroom.
