Location:
Casotto Nuovo is located in the small village of Spongano, midway between Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca, approximately ten kilometres off the Adriatic coast.
House:
The Casotto Nuovo is one of the three, newly restructured, small houses spread out across the spacious property of Bacile di Castiglione. The main building on the property is the Palazzo Bacile, a 16th century manor house. It has a beautiful typical Salentino garden, consisting of various ornamental trees and large expanses of citrus groves. An old tower, which used to house homing pigeons, overlooks the swimming pool and there are many other charming details to be discovered here. The Casotto Nuovo is located in this historic garden.
Inside, Casotto Nuovo is a small house with two bedrooms (a master bedroom and a twin room with single beds), each with its own modern bathroom. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a fireplace as well as a dining and living area. The house opens onto a lovely terrace (with table and chairs) that is covered in greenery, providing the perfect area to relax and dine.
Personal note:
The owners have ensured all comforts and the casotto is perfect for a family. If travelling with other friends, it is also ideal to rent it along with one or two of the other cottages (see Casotto di Caterina, and Casotto di Martino), giving guests the ideal situation of spending time together while at the same time keeping one’s independence.
