Overview
Take a step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax into the Italian way of living at Villa Amedeo. Where the sun shines, the fresh air rustles in the tall trees, and the olive oil is fresh.
As guests arrive at their new home away from home, they enter a little slice of paradise. A modern home, that is bright, spacious and welcoming. The main living space has large double doors, opening to the outdoor space and overlooking the lush surroundings. Relax into the cosy couches with a good book, or simply all get together to talk about the day. There’s a secondary living area off the main lounge, where guests can settle in for film night, or have a meal around the dining table. There is also a games room, complete with a pool table and a spot to play cards or board games. It’s the perfect place for a family game night, or as somewhere to send the kids.
Meals can be prepared in the modern kitchen, which has everything you need to create a tantalising feast. Enjoy these inside or take your tasty morsels outside to the dining area that’s accessible from the kitchen.
Of course, exploring all day is exhausting so guests desire a peaceful and comfortable place to lay their heads - and there are plenty of rooms to pick from. The villa offers four bedrooms, all of which offer air-conditioning, perfect for the balmy summer days. The villa also has a guest bathroom with a tub, which is perfect for a soak after a long day and handy for those travelling with smaller children.
When a villa has such a special location, it’s no surprise the outdoor area is unforgettable. Spend your mornings with a coffee or tea accompanied by fresh pastries and look out over the lush surroundings. Days can, and should, be spent relaxing poolside, topping up your tan on one of the pool loungers and getting some much-needed shelter when the time calls for it under a parasol. The outdoor dining and living space is perfect for, well anytime. Local wine and a platter will go down quite nicely as you take an evening dip - after all, you are on holiday.
All of this sits just outside the town of Casarano. It’s just a 20-minute walk or 5-minute drive into the centre, where you will find cafes, bars, restaurants, and other necessities like a food market.
