Villa Archidea features Wi-Fi, as well as a centralized heating and cooling system throughout the house. Additionally, the heated swimming pool and indoor fireplace provide extra comfort and enjoyment during the cooler months. THE LOCATION As mentioned, Villa Archidea is nestled in a quiet rural setting, away from the hustle and bustle, offering a beautiful view of the town. It is located near Provincial Road 76, which connects the towns of Specchia and Presicce. The charming village of Specchia, known for its distinctive historical center with a medieval charm, has been included in the prestigious list of the most beautiful villages in Italy. THE HOUSE Villa Archidea is set on a plot of approximately 4,000 sqm and combines the comfort of a modern villa with a swimming pool, alongside the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the Salento countryside. This ideal blend offers the perfect setting for a rejuvenating holiday in close contact with nature, while enjoying all the comforts you need. The entrance leads into a spacious and airy living area.

It is divided into a dining area and a relaxation area, and includes: \- A kitchenette with a comfortable peninsula, fully equipped with an induction hob, coffee pod machine, dishwasher, electric oven, and microwave. \- A large, air-conditioned lounge featuring a large sofa and a 55" smart TV.

Finally, the villa boasts a convenient laundry area equipped with a washing machine and dryer. OUTDOOR AREA While Villa Archidea offers large and comfortable indoor spaces, the outdoor area will likely be the most enjoyed part of the villa, especially during the summer months.

NEARBY The heart of Specchia is the central square (Piazza del Popolo), situated at the highest point of the town and surrounded by several notable buildings: \- Risolo Castle, a 16th-century noble palace once owned by various aristocratic families, and currently owned by the Risolo family. \- The Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in baroque style, typical of most churches in Salento. \- The unique Palazzo Baronale Ripa, with its distinctive and evocative portico, which now serves as a meeting point for the young people of Specchia. Among Specchia's many wonderful attractions, the ancient underground oil mills, dating back to the 16th–18th centuries, are also worth mentioning. These are rooms carved into the living rock where olives were once processed to produce what has always been a source of wealth and pride for the Salento region: extra virgin olive oil. Finally, the Borgo Cardigliano, a "ghost" village expertly transformed into an eco-village, is also of considerable interest. It is energetically self-sufficient while perfectly integrated into the architecture and natural environment of the area. One of the reasons to choose Specchia as your holiday destination is its strategic location. Situated halfway between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, Specchia allows easy access by car to several interesting Salento locations, including: \-Santa Maria di Leuca (22 km away), the "heel of Italy," known for its charming 19th-century villas, scenic seafront, and the Santa Maria De Finibus Terrae Basilica Sanctuary. \-Marina di Pescoluse (16 km away), known as "The Maldives of Salento," with its golden, fine sandy beaches.
