Description
Beautiful Masseria with pool, just a few minutes away from some of the most renowned beaches of the Ionian coast. Masseria Cirase is located in the countryside on a little hillock overlooking the bay of Gallipoli. Renovated keeping the architectonic characteristics of the original building, while being contemporary in its décor, it consists of one main unit, built around the ancient XVI cent. tower (that in previous time was instead the residence of a community of Basilian monks); and of 4 annexes, which were probably used as storage in the past, now turned into 4 independent suites.
Outside there is a vast garden, encompassing the main body, the annexes and the pool. The property’s grounds also include an olive grove where there are also some typical stone quarries, and an ancient trullo still in good conditions.
From the rooftop terrace of the main unit one can enjoy a stunning view on both sides: over the olive trees and the countryside, and on the other side off towards the sea of the Gallipoli bay with its unforgettable sunsets.
Ground floor of the main unit: spacious living area with fireplace, giving access to a TV snug, a reading room, then to the breakfast area and the fully-equipped kitchen, and to 2 service shower rooms; a French door allows to get out onto the courtyard equipped with table for al fresco dining, and where a staircase departs leading up to the roof-top terrace.
