Exclusive seafront villa in Castro with direct sea access

Welcome to Castro Marina! A coastal village of rare beauty located in Salento, featuring a perfectly preserved medieval historic center and a breathtaking coastline defined by cliffs dropping sheer into the sea.

Here you can immerse yourself in Apulian culture and history, discovering the remains of the ancient Messapian civilization and exploring the historic sea caves that characterize this area. Renowned highlights include the Grotta della Zinzulusa, with its impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations, and the Grotta Romanelli, which offers a unique experience for snorkeling or scuba diving to explore its submerged cave system.

Would you like to step out onto a terrace and feel as though you are suspended over the sea, letting your gaze wander into the infinite space where sky meets water, or meditate seated on a bench surrounded by nature?

We offer you the chance to experience this evocative sensation with a truly magical villa.

Nestled in a delightful 4,000 sqm cliffside garden filled with native flora, this villa spans approximately 180 sqm across two levels. The entrance opens into a welcoming atmosphere where a bright open-plan living room and kitchen both lead out onto a spacious, enchanting terrace, with views sweeping across the waves.

The lower ground floor holds further delights, featuring a hallway that reveals three bedrooms—one with an en-suite bathroom—a comfortable walk-in closet, and a second bathroom. Furthermore, both the hallway and every bedroom offer direct access to the garden.

You can also host a couple of friends in the characteristic stone pagghiara, perfectly integrated into the unspoiled natural setting and offering a lovely sea view along with complete privacy!

The property’s true uniqueness, however, lies in the stone staircase leading down to direct sea access. Each level along the path holds a secret: a large stone-paved area (aia) with built-in seating facing the water, an expansive garden, and finally, further down, the direct access to the sea—conceived as your own private beach club!

Completely renovated in 2020, the house features underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, air conditioning, thermal insulation coat, double-glazed wood/aluminum window frames, and a solar thermal panel system for domestic hot water with a 300-liter storage tank.

Located just a 5-minute walk from the town center of Castro (offering restaurants, pharmacies, medical offices, etc.) and 10 minutes from Castro Marina, where you can rent boats or moor your own vessel. It is 5 km from Santa Cesarea Terme, famous for its historic Roman-era thermal baths, and 12 km from the hospital in Tricase.

If you are seeking a seaside destination, Castro Marina is a location where every wave brings echoes of a glorious past and the charm of a vibrant present… a hidden gem in the heart of Salento!
