About this property

Shadows of Stone - Historic Mansion

  • Ombre di Pietra is an exclusive holiday home where the history of Salento blends with sustainable architecture. Located right next to an ancient underground olive mill, the structure literally rises from the earth that hosts it: every stone block used in its construction was quarried directly from the excavation of the oil mill below.
    ​Its cool, bright rooms create a captivating interplay of light and shadow, offering a relaxing and timeless atmosphere. The interiors combine the rustic charm of raw materials with modern, comfortable design, offering guests an authentic experience steeped in the legacy of olive-growing tradition and the allure of Salento stone.
    Ombre di Pietra is the perfect retreat for those seeking peace and comfort. Nestled in silence and completely removed from the hustle and bustle, this holiday home welcomes you with a relaxing porch, ideal for enjoying the cool evening air on warm summer nights.
    ​Its strategic location is its true strength: just a stone’s throw from the sea, it allows you to reach the beaches in just a few minutes without sacrificing the convenience of having the town within easy reach for any needs or a night out.
