Masseria dei Papi, near the vineyards of Leverano, is a traditional Apulian building that has been lovingly renovated into a modern villa rental on the site of an old flower market. The 9-bedroom luxury Italian villa, a mixture between a boutique hotel and designer spa, is an ideal location for an exclusive holiday or memorable wedding in the private chapel.
Unique contemporary design, minimalist décor and soothing natural tones combine to create a place to detach and recharge. The owners are an interior design and architect meaning that the art pieces are spectacular and in such a large space, can be enjoyed in all their majesty. The harmony and aesthetics of the interiors extend outdoors to the surrounding gardens where the pergola overlooking the 450msq swimming pool, solarium, and “al fresco” dining areas provide endless places to relax with friends and family. Terrace areas are elegantly furnished with Tribù furniture and private suites display elegant pieces designed by Italian architect Monica Armani.
Meals at Masseria dei Papi, a unique experience enjoyed in the Flower Restaurant, are prepared by the chef who blends the flavours of local ingredients to create traditional dishes. For utter relaxation, the Spa, located in the basement of the luxury villa, provides the ultimate space to unwind and recharge.
Located in between the historic city of Lecce, known as ‘The Florence of the South’, and the beautiful beaches of Porto Cesareo, the villa is perfectly located to explore the region of Apulia, known for its white-washed, cone-roofed trulli houses and baroque architecture.
