La Piccolina

A luxury villa to rent in Savelletri, Puglia, Italy

Both rennovated and decorated to a very high standard, this bijou bolthole is set in five hectares of private land, just 200m from the sea and less than 2km from the charming harbour town of Savelletri.

The quirky, turreted house offers three en-suite bedrooms split across two floors, each with a sea view, private entrance, luxury bedding, Sky TV and a Nespresso coffee machine.  

Aside from the bedrooms, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable living room inside, while outside is a panoramic terrace, a large patio for al-fresco dining, a wood-fired pizza oven, a heated outdoor pool and a welcome poolside bar. The house is fully staffed with butlers and waiters so you needn’t even leave the pool to order your next drink. 

What really sets this house apart, however, is that it offers private access via the property grounds to a reserved area in one of Puglia’s most exclusive beach clubs, Pettolecchia Il Lido.

Here, beside the shimmering Adriatic, you can relax beneath a parasol, sprawl across a king-size four-poster bed, indulge in a massage, sip signature cocktails or dine in style at the beautiful, beachfront, fine-dining restaurant.

Or if you’d rather set off and see more of peaceful Puglia, the villa’s concierge team can help to arrange anything from boat trips and bike rides to scuba diving, city tours and horseback adventures.
