About this property

IN THE HEART OF SALENTO PRIVATE POOL NEAR THE SEA RELAX AND TRANQUILITY

Le Marocce, a charming country house in Spongano, a delightful village with ancient traditions and village festivals located in the heart of Salento. It is close to the crystal clear sea of ​​Castro (3km), the thermal baths and the caves of Santa Cesarea as well as the golden beaches of Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca.
The property includes a main villa and a studio apartment, which is our pajara called La Capperaia because it is surrounded by beautiful and fragrant caper plants.
The villa is enclosed by 10,000 square meters of lush garden surrounded by dry stone walls (fence typical of Salento) and olive trees. The whole house, the Capperaia and the swimming pool have flowering plants, figs, prickly pears, caper plants, bougainvillea and wisteria, pepper trees, lemons and aromatic plants.
The villa has a strategic position: every day in a short time you can reach a different beach choosing among the most beautiful. It is close to the Terme for treatments and body care.
The marvelous swimming pool is set in the white Lecce stone and has comfortable and relaxing sunbeds.
In the pool area there are two gazebos one with a large marble table for 10/12 people and a smaller one with 4 armchairs to relax and read.
Internet, WIFI, TV
The Marocce enchants for the color of the olive trees, the symphony of nature, the magic of light and quiet.
Inside you will find comfort, nature and privacy; outside the villages they propose: events, festivals, exhibitions, musical concerts, markets, popular dances, pizzica, parties with baroque lights, night life, narrow alleys with artisan shops.
The villa has a beautiful living room with wood burning fireplace and American kitchen overlooking a fantastic lamia (Salento terrace) for "al fresco dining" under a natural shade of bougainvillea, with a wooden table that comfortably accommodates 10 people , view on olive trees, prickly pears and lemons.
The sleeping area has three double bedrooms with air conditioning and ceiling fan, two with private bathroom and one with a bathroom next door (one of the double rooms can become a double room).
In the basement there is another double or twin room with private bathroom which in rare cases we provide to guests.
In the basement of the villa there is also a room with a wood stove for those who want to enjoy making pizza, possibly in the middle season.
In the garden there are various parking spaces, two of which are covered under a pergola of vegetation.
In front of the house under the pergola a pleasant area for relaxation, reading and meditation and always in front of the house a nice round table with 4 chairs and a built-in bench.
The Capperaia, enchanting, entirely in stone built by the owner, imitating the pajare, typical Salento buildings for the shelter of the tools in the olive groves, is located in front of the swimming pool, is an open space with a kitchenette, a double masonry bed, an antique fireplace in stone that allows a pleasant and romantic stay even in the cold season, it is however equipped with air conditioning. Two beds can be added on request. The bathroom is in Lecce stone.
The whole house is equipped with heating system including the basement but is made available only at the express request of the guests and the consumption of methane is charged to them.
The beds in the villa are 6 + 2 in the Capperaia where on request it is possible to add two more beds. Total 8 + 2.
Basically if the guests are 10 the accommodation will be as follows:
6 in the house, and 4 in the Capperaia (double bed with the addition of two beds). Guests will have to adapt to this accommodation. If preferred, the alternative can be the use of the master bedroom in the basement that has no air conditioning, and two people in the Capperaia.
Beside the pool a large gazebo, with a beautiful stone table for 10 people, and another gazebo with 4 armchairs and small tables to converse and read in the pool area. Also in the pool area there is a delightful stone table for 4 people to play cards, write or make board games.
There are 10 Marbles beds available.
In the pool area there is an outdoor shower and next to the Caperaia there is another outdoor shower and a tub with shower.
Between the gazebo and the Capperaia, in the garden there is a magnificent barbecue area in typical local stone with sink, gas stove, traditional barbecue and gas, fridge and cabinet with everything you need for a lovely equipment on the stone table under the gazebo (where we ask you not to put candles directly on the table without protection). All this to allow you to enjoy the pool even during lunch or dinner.
The use of the house and the swimming pool is exclusive
PRICES REFER TO 8 PEOPLE extra persons are calculated separately.

A fantastic place to build your ideal holiday: history, sea, culture, traditions, relaxation, spas ... a home where you can really feel Salento and savor the best of a unique place in the world!
RECOMMENDATION FOR GUESTS: I recommend guests to follow the rules of the garbage that I send before their departure. On the indicated days the garbage must be put out of the concello so that it is withdrawn by the competent body. Garbage should not be left at home on departure.

Great house with fantastic pool area
We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely, clean and well equipped house, with its spacious grounds. The pool area is first class with plenty of sun loungers, shaded seating and dining areas and a barbeque and fridge close by. The information on the website and photos gave a very accurate picture and out host was very helpful and responsive both before arrival and during our visit. The only downside was that we did not find the immediate neighborhood particularly attractive. We did however find the location good for many of the region's attractions which are within an hour's drive (e.g. Lecce, Otranto, Gallipoli). Overall we had a lovely week and would recommend the house.

A great villa in a great area. Just what we were looking for!
The Villa has plenty of space itself in grounds that are both charming and well tendered. We were 2 x families of four and we all had plenty of room to enjoy ourselves both together and when we needed alone time. Highlights? Swimming pool area was superb. BBQ area was well used by us. Local village - charming and very friendly Location - just right to explore the beautiful coast and other towns. Many thanks to the host for letting us stay! We would all recommend the experience to others. Shame to leave.

Our stay in this beautiful house was perfect in every way. The local region of Salento is charming.
We stayed in this beautiful property for a very special 2 weeks. As a family we were blessed with perfect weather and were hence able to take advantage of the magical array of wonders the area has to offer. The local village and its people were charming as very tolerant of our poor attempts at Italian. The beaches and the coast were breathtaking. We hired a boat at Castro and viewed the coast, swimming in the crystal clear blue waters. The house was well equipped for all our needs and the kids used the bikes to cycle to the village. The pool is resort like and maintained perfectly. We were charmed by the caretakers of the property Pina and Claudio who introduced us to the property on arrival and were available for any problems. Simona was also readily available for any queries and we are very grateful for the opportunity to experience her unique home which made our Salento holiday so special. We were sad to leave. Grazie Mille Simona

villa comoda e godereccia
eravamo 4 coppie e ci siamo goduti questa bella casa vacanza proprio ad inizio estate, il Salento non è affollato in questo periodo e da qui si può andare ovunque in tempi brevi. Ma la casa che ci ha accolto ha fatto molto per rendere questa vacanza perfetta, tornare a sera per un rilassante bagno in piscina, aperitivo e cena non ha prezzo.... Pensiamo di tornarci presto.
