Overview
Palazzo Cutrofiano is a handsome abode of sumptuous proportions, discreetly renovated to retain much of the character of the original early nineteenth century farmhouse. This home is brimming with timeless style and classical detailing, finessed with striking simplicity and with notably understated flair.
The majestic façade in original stone and arched doorway sets the tone: an environment that is entirely faithful to the original structure, characterised by vaulted and arched ceilings, fine raw materials (predominantly stone and timber), recessed alcoves and stunning light quality throughout. With a cooling, sedate feel of decades-old grandeur, this home has a subtle glamour and quiet luxury, offering every comfort within the spirit of unparalleled tasteful provenance.
A beautiful kitchen-dining room with recessed alcove and vaulted ceilings displays pretty original tiles, all necessary fittings including an Italian-style coffee maker and eat-in option, whilst the dining room is paved with an authentic early-twentieth-century decorated Venetian mosaic. Two ground floor bedrooms both have en-suites and direct garden access; exposed brick work vaulted ceilings and chic finishes again with a flawlessly rustic vibrancy.
Details such as the dazzling ball-light throwing off patterned colour over the organically shaped stone bath add a playful touch; both bedrooms are in earthy, natural tones, aside from accents of canary yellow and crimson. The upper floor offers a three further bedrooms, all doubles with an additional single bed in one of these, offering sedate accommodation for up to eleven guests. From the upper floor, wonderful views of open countryside can be enjoyed from the original timber framed windows.
A sleek pool is framed with indulgent day beds and loungers, wonderfully un-polished lawns and mysterious nooks comprise a discreet shower area, tall palm trees and a delightful outdoor kitchen with a natural feel comprising outdoor oven and original stone bench, table constructed with logs, sedate hammocks hanging from the trees with open country views
Palazzo Cutrofiano is a striking, historical two-storey home finessed with panache and verve; epitomising a timelessness and quiet beauty that allows the original architecture and materials to simply shine through, with modern-day comforts and artfully un-manicured grounds.

Location
About the surrounding area of Palazzo CutrofianoPalazzo Cutrofiano is around a ten-minute drive from Cutrofiano (4.5km), in Salento. Salento is the most southerly part of the “heel” of Italy’s boot; with the Adriatic Sea to the East, and the Ionian to the west.
With a fascinating Greek history, Cutrofiano is known for its ceramics and the name even derives for the Greek word for ‘vase’. Indeed, the Salento region is known for its Greek influences and colourful dialects (with Sicilian origins).
This area is home to some of Italy's most romantic towns: visit the island town of Gallipoli (21km) with its fantastic market, flower-filled little streets and amazing views or head east to Otranto (32km), on the Adriatic coast, with its Romanesque cathedral and town beaches. Indeed, the beaches outside both these towns are famous for their beauty whether it’s the shallow waters of Baia Verde (22km) south of Gallipoli or Baia dei Turchi (40km) near Otranto and even swimming in the lakes just north of the town.
To the north, spend the day in the great city of Lecce (36km) with its brilliant shops as well as historic sights. Other fascinating villages to explore include the historic Maglie (13km) and Muro Leccese (17km) with fascinating sights and charming shops as well as Specchia (30km), classified as one of Italy’s prettiest towns.
The region is known for its olive oil production, as evidenced by the surrounding stretches of olive groves as well as its distinctive white-washed hill towns, centuries old farmland and kilometres of Mediterranean coastline from idyllic rocky coves to white sandy beaches and turquoise seas.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesPuglia, the “heel” of Italy, is a family friendly destination; whether it be hilltop or coastal towns, long sandy beaches with clear waters and the beautiful coastline, as well as the sumptuous rustic local cuisine, children will be welcome!
There are some wonderful beaches in the area for all ages. Head west to the Ionian coast to the famous beach of Baia Verde, just south of Gallipoli, which is perfect for families with its sand and gently shelving water. The beaches north of Otranto are also beautiful with long stretches of sand near Baia dei Turchi. The Alimini lakes are also a very special place to visit.
For scuba diving and snorkelling, there are multiple water sports centres, including Scuba Diving di Levanto Stefano and Orca Diving. Underwater exploration is so accessible in the calm, warm seas of southern Italy.

It is not only packed with rides and pools in every design imaginable, but the park also puts on shows, holds competitions and has lots of games that anyone can participate in.
