Soleto

Salento, Italy

Upon entering the house through the gate, guests are greeted by a charming courtyard, ideal for breakfast or dinner, sheltered from direct sunlight. From here, the main living room and fully equipped kitchen await, providing all essentials for meal preparation. 

Behind the kitchen lies a former chapel, now a media room with a 4-meter sofa, doubling as two single beds for extra guests. The media room includes its own powder room and outdoor shower. Adjacent to the living room, the grand dining room and serene garden room, featuring a 3-meter sofa, offer perfect spaces for relaxation and gathering. 

The upper floor is accessed via a staircase from the courtyard. To the right, guests will find the green room leading to a street-facing bedroom with an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. On the other side, a master bedroom with a garden-view terrace boasts a luxurious bathroom with a cast iron clawfoot tub. To the left of the staircase lies another spacious bedroom with a cozy living room, equipped with a sofa bed, and a large, tiled bathroom.

The house's charm was carefully preserved while modern touches were added. The original floors and kitchen were kept wherever possible. Domingue Finishes provided the beautiful plasterwork, adding both texture and smoothness to the walls. Collaborating with skilled artisans, like Tullio Cardinale and Alba Falegnameria, ensured authentic restorations, from bathroom fittings by Valadares to custom doors. Antique furniture, rugs from Armadillo, and unique artwork by Eleanor Herbosch were incorporated. Other elegant design choices included bespoke ceramics and soft linen upholstery, blending history with contemporary simplicity.

What’s on

Soleto: A Timeless Gem in Salento
Soleto is a charming, small town nestled in the heart of the Salento region in Puglia. Just 20 minutes from the baroque splendor of Lecce and 5 minutes from Galatina, Soleto feels like a place lost in time. Children play in the streets, old men engage in lively debates on the steps, and grandmothers lovingly craft homemade pasta. Part of the Grecìa Salentina, where some elders still speak the ancient Griko language, Soleto is steeped in history. Its centerpiece, the Chapel of Santo Stefano, built in 1347, boasts frescoes reminiscent of Giotto's style. Adding to its historical significance, the Soleto Map, discovered in 2003, is believed to be one of the oldest maps in Europe.
