Santa Caterina di Nardò · Salento
A pine forest, a rooftop, and the Ionian Sea.
A panoramic two-bedroom apartment with a private rooftop solarium — 300 m from the beach, in the regional park of Porto Selvaggio.
Welcome
A summer place, kept the way we'd want to find it.
We are Daniela and Sylvain. We rent the rooftop apartment of a small four-unit villa in Salento — the one with the long terrace, a private garden and parking, and a view straight to the Gulf of Gallipoli — to a few families a season.

What's around
Pines on one side, sea on the other.
The pine forest
Porto Selvaggio at the door
The regional park starts where the property ends — a footpath through Aleppo pines down to the cove.

A few words from a few of you.
A truly fantastic host, and the place is simply beautiful. A rare gem in a sea of countless options.
Una terrazza al piano superiore che lascia a bocca aperta. Le coccole dei proprietari — la ciliegina sulla torta.
The cool shade of the pine forest, the sun on the terrace, a breathtaking view. Everything was perfect — superb location, tasteful decor, a warm welcome.
Tastefully furnished with attention to detail. A wonderful terrace for relaxing under the stars, and the crystal-clear sea just a few minutes' walk away. We'll definitely be back.
Silence, peace, and the wonderful scent of pine mixed with the sea breeze. From the upper terrace there is a magnificent view over the pine treetops to the Ionian Sea with Gallipoli and the lighthouse in the distance. Fantastic place.
We've travelled many places — as a couple, as a family, as individuals or for work — and tried to bring back the best ideas for this villa. We want it to feel like a home away from home during your stay.
