This sumptuous dwelling, summer residence to the Guarini Dukes since the 19th century, is currently owned by the Guarini descendent, Anne Guarini, who has preserved its splendor.
The villa overlooks the Adriatic Sea : its private alley lined with century old trees leads down to the small port of Tricase with its multi-colored fishing boats and to a swim in his clear waters.
Of classical style, the white villa stands out amidst a layered landscaped filled with pine, olive and palm trees. A vast arcaded loggia with its immense shaded terrace opens out onto a view of the sea. The central part of the villa is composed of three dome shaped reception rooms built of stone. The kitchen, washing area and service quarters are located in the rear. Two lateral staircases lead up to the master bedrooms and guest apartment located in the left tower. The villa contains three king size bed suites, a room with two beds, all with their own bath plus an additional twin bedroom.
We propose the main Villa even if there are Two additional and separate accommodations located in the lower courtyard, composed of three bedrooms (one double bedroom and two rooms with two beds), plus two bathrooms. Ask for details.
In the main villa the three reception rooms, two weeding suites and the first room with two beds are air-conditioned.
The Villa is one of those exceptional sites where Italian civilization comes alive each summer. A welcome dinner with traditional cuisine and fine wine from the Domaine Guarini is offered to guests. You could ask to visit the cellars, 500 years old and have an evening of wine testing.

The Villa is located at Tricase Porto on the east coast of Salento with its magnificent cliffs hovering over its turquoise sea with grottos and creeks, and the west coast offers 50 kilometers of white sand beachs from Santa Maria di Leuca to Gallipoli. From Tricase Porto one can roam throughout Salento, ancient meridional province of Pouilles across from Greece : the city of Lecce, pearl of Italian baroque, the fortified ports of Otrante and Gallipoli, Santa Maria di Leuca, “finibus terrae”, as well as the other typical villages of Salento. All around there are many lovely restaurants with typical “cucina salentina” as well as artcraft shops of ceramics and fabrics.
A bit further, one can visit the legendary towns of Tarente with its Hellenistic museum, Alberobello, with its numerous “trulli” (local architecture), the “sassi” of Matera, the sublime Castel del Monte, the Normand churches of Bari, Trani, Barletta and Ruvo.
