About this property
Cliffside retreat with breathtaking views
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea and enjoy an amazing 180° sea view from this stunning vacation rental property. Located on the cliffs around 100 meters above sea level, this unique property offers an absolutely unparalleled location. Wake up to the stunning sunrise on the sea in the morning and bask in the breathtaking view from one of the large panoramic terraces.
For those who love to explore, right below the house is a stunning panoramic path that leads down the cliffs through Mediterranean plants, offering spectacular views on the cliffs and the sea. The area is usually deserted, even in summer, giving you a sense of peace and tranquility that you wouldn't expect. The house is on two levels, each with its own huge, partially shaded terrace with a spectacular sea view. The two levels are connected both from the inside and the outside.
The lower level of the house features a comfortable dining and living room, a large and fully equipped kitchen, one WC, and one small room with a double sofa bed that can be used as an office. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge with freezer, toaster, and all the essentials you need to prepare a delicious meal.
The upper level features three bedrooms, two with a double bed and one with two single beds which can be joined if needed. Each bedroom has a fantastic sea view and access to the terrace. There is one large bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub, as well as a WC.
Outside, there is a private garden with a nice shaded area with a table, benches, a stone barbecue with a pizza oven and fireplace. The perfect spot for hosting your own pizza party! There are also two outdoor showers (cold water only) available for your use.
This property was built in the 80s and although it's not super modern, it is comfortable and equipped with everything needed for a wonderful stay. There is air conditioning in each bedroom and heating in winter. Stay connected with free WiFi, available with a premium business contract and unlimited traffic. Ideal for work as well!
The house is located in a calm area just a few kilometers away from the vibrant town of Santa Maria di Leuca, with its shops and restaurants. While there is no sea access below the house, the closest sea access points can be found in Santa Maria di Leuca, which offers a small sandy beach, and Ciolo, a spectacular, well-known fjord with access to the sea from the rocks. Long sandy beaches, such as the ones found in Pescoluse, can be reached in approximately 15 minutes by car.
Book your stay now and experience the breathtaking beauty of this Mediterranean paradise!

Zunächst möchte ich dem Team von WowHomes ein sehr großes Lob aussprechen. Insbesondere Mégane und Olivier antworten nicht nur schnell, sondern kümmern sich auch wirklich gut und zügig um alles. Besser geht es nicht. WowHomes ist auf jeden Fall uneingeschränkt weiter zu empfehlen !!!Nun zu dem Ferienhaus:Die Lage auf dem Felsen und der Ausblick sind phantastisch! Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist befestigt und gut befahrbar. Es gibt mehrere eigene Parkplätze. Die Lage ist außerdem sehr privat. Nur ein Nachbar könnte (theotetisch, es war niemand anwesend) auf die Terrassen schauen.Das Haus ist sehr groß und sauber, aber in die Jahre gekommen. Die Raumaufteilung ist gut; die Ausstattung ist zwar nur zweckmäßig, aber Mietpreis ist für diese Lage günstig. Fazit: volle fünf Sterne für WowHomes und gute vier Sterne für das Ferienhaus.

Le logement d'Olivier offre une vue simplement splendide, je le recommande avec enthousiasme. Toute une série d'information est en outre mise à disposition concernant les ressources de la région : randos, excursions, restos, etc. Merci à lui et à son équipe.

La casa è in una posizione tranquilla con una vista mozzafiato sul mar Adriatico. In pochi minuti di auto è possibile raggiungere S. Maria di Leuca e spiagge stupende. La casa è pulita e funzionale, a disposizione degli ospiti c’è tutto il necessario per una piacevole permanenza. L’host è sempre molto veloce nel rispondere ad ogni dubbio sulla casa.

Traumblick auf das Meer
Der Ausblick war unglaublich grandios - ebenso, wie die Lage.
Dadurch, dass eine Brücke der Küstenstraße gesperrt war, war die Straße kaum befahren und unglaublich ruhig.
Die Küste ist malerisch und es fühlt sich teilweise wie in einem Film an.
Im Haus wurde sehr viel wert auf Details gelegt und alles war im gesamten sehr sauber!
Durch das regnerische Wetter wurden sehr viele ‚Baumängel‘ deutlich. (Feuchte im Bad und im Schlafzimmer an den Decken und in der Küche gab es ebenfalls Feuchteprobleme)
Da wir bestimmt vier, fünf Mal mit dem Staff zutun hatten, mit Dingen, die das Wetter jedoch nicht betreffen, müssen wir zugeben, dass hier Nachholbedarf besteht.
Dinge wie Gas nachfüllen oder Lampe austauschen sind kein Problem. Themen aber, wie dass das Wasser beim Duschen stoppt und die Wasserbrausen nicht wirklich funktionierten oder dass eine Terrassentür zum Garten nicht abschließbar war, sind Grundthemen, weshalb wir sagen, dass diese unbedingt vor Neuvermietung überarbeitet werden müssen.
