Pool villa near the beaches w/ fantastic sea view

Recently fully renovated, upscale hilltop villa with uninterrupted panoramic views of the vast countryside and the Ionian Sea. The villa is located on a large private plot and has several terraces and a large pool (approx. 8x5m) for your exclusive, private use. Several beaches with fine, golden sand and crystal clear water are only 3-4 km away.
The villa offers three double and one single bedrooms, as well as two bathrooms with showers. The large living and dining area with open kitchen opens onto the shaded terrace with fantastic sea views and has a single sofa bed, so the house can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests.
The kitchen is equipped with gas stove, refrigerator with freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher as well as cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, etc. The interiors of the house are fully air-conditioned; the bedroom windows are protected by mosquito nets.
The swimming pool is below the house; next to the pool there is a panoramic terrace with sun loungers. Also near the pool there is a shaded barbecue area with an outdoor sink. Another terrace with loungers is at the back of the villa; there you will also find an approximately 2x2 large stone paddling pool, ideal for smaller children. The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden with rosemary, lavender and other wonderfully fragrant Mediterranean plants.
Pets are welcome guests in this villa. There are many opportunities for long walks in the immediate vicinity. In the valley below the villa, within walking distance, is the well-known "Elephant Forest", with its trees completely overgrown with strong climbing plants - a place that is ideal for lingering and exploring even on warmer days.
The sea is approx. 1.5 km away from the villa as the crow flies. The coast here consists mainly of fine sandy beaches, partly lined with dunes, palm trees and Mediterranean maquis. The sea is crystal clear and almost Caribbean; most beaches stay flat for a relatively long time and are therefore also very suitable for families with small children. There are also some beaches nearby where dogs are allowed.
The beach towns of Pescoluse, Torre Pali and Lido Marini can be reached in 3-5 km and offer several shops as well as good restaurants, bakeries and ice cream parlors. Santa Maria di Leuca with its lighthouse, the medieval old town of Gallipoli, the frescoes of Galatina but also many hiking opportunities on the rugged Adriatic coast (east coast) can all be easily reached by car in 20 to 40 minutes.
