Torre Piccola

Torre Piccola is a historic tower house with modern interiors in the old town of Nardo, Apulia. This heritage-listed tower has been converted into a holiday apartment, which expertly combines the historic substance of the building substance, an open spatial concept, and minimalist design. Two large skylights flood the loft-like high tower room with daylight. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a dining area with a fireplace, and a living area. A filigree staircase leads up to the sleeping gallery with a double bed. On this level you will also find a single bedroom with an historic vaulted ceiling and the bathroom. One more staircase up you reach the roof terrace, a grand outdoor living room which extends over two levels. Equipped with sun loungers, a dining area and a barbecue, it’s the perfect place to enjoy la dolce vita – both during the day and in the evening.

What to do

Nardo is a lively town with a baroque centre. You can also visit the towns of Lecce, Otrano, Gallipoli nearby – and the protected coastal area of Porto Selvaggio. The beaches are 5 km away and can be easily reached by car, Vespa or bicycle. The Salento region offers a variety of leisure activities, including swimming, sailing, golf, hiking, cycling, cultural treasures and a rich culinary scene, a great variety of wines and ancient olive groves. 

Why we like this house

A perfect mix of historical flair, modern architectural elements, and lovingly selected furnishings.

This house is great for

Couples and small families. Not suitable for small children.

Wir waren zu zweit Mitte Juni 23 im Torre Piccola. Wir reisen häufig nach Italien. Der Torre Piccola ist einer der schönsten Häuser, die wir bislang bewohnt haben. Voller schöner Einrichtungsgegenstände, einer gut ausgestatteten Küche und vielen interessanten Designideen. Das Haus liegt am Rand der historischen Altstadt in einer freundlichen Nachbarschaft. Man erreicht alle Einkaufsmöglichlkeiten und viele Restaurants fußläufig. Parken ist kein Problem. Highly recommended!

Der Torre Piccola ist eine der schönsten Unterkünfte, in der wir bisher Urlaub gemacht haben. Nicht nur sehr stilvoll und Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, sondern alles auch von allerfeinster Qualität und Funktionalität. Hier lässt es sich in heißer und sicher auch der kühleren Jahreszeit ohne Weiteres länger aushalten, dank der super ausgestatteten Küche und Dachterasse (inkl. Grill, Kamin). Die Dachterasse ist das absolute Highlight, wo man sich wunderbar zurückziehen kann und trotzdem eine einzigartige Erfahrung der über den Dächern von Nardò hat. Auch das Städchen selbst ist charmant und bietet gute Restaurants und Architektur. Wunderschöne Strände sind mit dem Auto gut erreichbar! Wir sind sehr begeistert und kommen gerne wieder!
