The villa
Otium — the art of doing nothing, beautifully. Among century-old olive trees in the sun-warmed countryside of Ugento, just minutes from the Ionian sea, this private villa is a world of its own. Days unfold around the pool at the heart of the garden; arched loggias and wooden pergolas trace the hours — breakfast in the shade, an aperitivo at golden hour, dinner by the glow of the garden. Light pours through walls of glass, four serene bedrooms and living spaces of marble and stone. And from the terrace, the sea. Rented exclusively, for up to eight guests.
