Casa Soleto offers a truly authentic experience of the village life in the heart of Salento, Puglia.

The noble palazzotto has been lovingly restored by Studio Andrew Trotter and Marcelo Martínez. They took time with the renovation to carefully preserve the historic features of the house, while bringing it into the twenty-first century. Having kept most of the original floors, the nonna’s kitchen or the internal doors (two of them being 300 years old), Casa Soleto has all the charm and character you would expect of a house from the seventeenth century.. This is a truly authentic experience. A haven to relax during your trip. A barefoot luxury.

  • Occupancy: up to 9 people, but cozy for small groups or couples

Ground floor

From the gate you enter the house through a courtyard, which is the perfect spot to have breakfast and dinner as it has no direct sun. From that courtyard you will find the main living room and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare a nice meal. Behind the kitchen you will discover what once was the old chapel, which has been turned into a media room, with a 4 meter sofa (that can also be turned into two single beds for extra guests). This room has its own powder room and outdoor shower.

Connected to the living room you will discover the majestic dining room with another powder room and, on the opposite side, the garden room with a 3 meter sofa, the perfect place to relax and read a book. Outside there is a garden with a 3x2m plunge pool, to take the sun or cool off during hot days.

Most of the ceilings on the ground floor are over 5 meters high.
