SALONE
A spacious living area with large balcony.
A welcome retreat after a day’s sightseeing. The living room takes its cue from the classic southern Italian ‘salone’ with rich textiles, local materials and carefully curated mid-century design pieces, artwork and sculpture. While rich in detail, the space is still spacious & comfortable to relax in. Enjoy the modern comforts too with flat screen smart TV, high speed wifi and air conditioning.
Touches of revered local design feature throughout the apartment including Antonio D'Andrea's unique Art Deco lighting. Lovingly restored 'cementine' (local tiles from the Salento region) accentuate the large balcony off the living room. Enjoy the art and design books amongst a display of local ceramics in the welcoming living space.
eat in KITCHEN
Large fully equipped kitchen & dining space.
Staying in never looked so good. The extensive kitchen features luxe oak cabinets with accents of natural brass and handmade tiles. The large bench top in local travertine marble is a veritable cook's paradise.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Casa Rosa, including a 5-burner induction stove top, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and full size fridge and freezer. For everyday convenience there is also a Nespresso coffee maker, kettle & toaster.
A daily ritual for locals is lunch with family, almost always served at the kitchen table. Casa Rosa is the perfect place to get into the habit of the long lunch with artisanal dinnerware made by local artists. The dining space features beautifully restored local art nouveau chairs and large walnut wood door which acts as the room’s pièce de résistance.
BEDROOM 1

A calm and private oasis, the large main bedroom is accented with local artwork and sumptuous textures. This perfect retreat features a comfortable queen-size bed, with memory foam mattress and luxurious Italian linen creating a cozy feel to unwind.

bathroom
A seamless bathroom experience.
The luxuriously modern and fully equipped bathroom comes with premium Italian-made fittings and materials. Every detail has been considered in the bathroom, including the ease and comfort of a walk-in shower, ample bench space and adjustable lighting options. The modern bathroom is punctuated with a mix of natural metals, contrasting with the high gloss red tile vanity.
STUDY
Tranquil Small Study Retreat.
A quiet nook off the living room, perfect for reading or maybe catching up on some work. The studio is a separate space connecting to the living room, allowing for some privacy away from the rest of the apartment or a convenient corner to forget about when you are not in work mode.
If you'd prefer to do your remote working from Lecce, the studio has plenty of natural light and double doors connecting to the front balcony. The high speed fibre wifi will make light work of those emails.
