Villa Annuccia
About This Villa
Villa Annuccia is a charming Mediterranean villa just a stone’s throw away from the sea nestled on the east coast in Italy’s Puglia region. Sitting in an expansive estate enveloped by almost two hectares of sprawling land and greenery, its ample size allows for complete relaxation while being ideally situated for exploring everything the rich region has to offer. Its modern exterior is effortlessly counterbalanced by rustic-simple interiors with bohemian flourishes throughout.
Spawning across two floors, Villa Annuccia can sleep up to 12 guests across six bedrooms, yet it provides an abundance of living space so that it never feels too crowded. Inside, guests have the chance to unwind on a series of sofas scattered around the living area and hallways, while chic French doors leading to the outside verandas provide additional breeze on hot afternoons. Each bedroom is lovingly designed in an Italian countryside-inspired style with valance beds inviting you for a snooze, rattan furniture and windows letting plenty of natural light in.
With an array of entrances and terrace doors, stepping into your private outdoor oasis is completely effortless. Follow the stone path to the large swimming pool for a refreshing dip or curl up in a hammock with a good book. For dinner, take advantage of one of the barbecues – there's plenty of space for alfresco suppers and moonlit aperitifs. With a large, shaded terrace, plenty of lounge furniture and sport facilities such as your own football pitch and tennis court, you’ll find it easy to spend the whole day outside.
Sip your morning coffee to the soundtrack of birds chirping from the estate’s manicured gardens full of aromatic lavender bushes and towering trees before heading out to explore. The town’s nearest beach spot Mancarella Lido is just a few moments’ walk from the main gate, with charming little restaurants and bars along the road inviting you for a negroni or a glass of Puglian rosé.
A main road takes you through local fields and forests to La Cesina Nature Reserve, Acaya Golf Club and Cesine beach all in under 15 minutes, ensuring every jet-setter will find an activity they’ll love.
History enthusiasts will love spending the day strolling around Lecce – a Baroque town only a 15 minutes’ drive away. Imbued with old-world Italian charm, it’s also known as the ‘Florence of the South’ because of its historic connections to ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.
