Corte Kalìnora (from the Greek "Kalì n'òra" literally "Court of the good hour") is a historic residence dating back to the late 18th century, restored to its original architecture after a careful and patient renovation that has restored its former splendor and given it an essential and contemporary style that characterizes it today.
The heart of the house is the typical "Salentine courtyard" which is accessed through the characteristic "simportu", a covered atrium with a star-shaped vault made of limestone and white tuff.
Two ancient staircases, also made of limestone, lead to the guest rooms, all located on the first floor, and to an outdoor terrace, an ideal setting for a fantastic blue sky during the day, illuminated by stars at night.
Corte Kalìnora has three rooms with independent access and private bathroom:
- two standard rooms (Kalìmera and Kalìspera), both with king-size double bed, wardrobe and writing desk console;
- one superior room (Kalìnitta), larger in size, with king-size double bed, wardrobe, relaxation area with a large sofa bed, coffee table and large sideboard.
Corte Kalìnora also offers a daily rental service for two beautiful electric pedal-assist bicycles (Pedelec) Mercedes Smart e-Bike white & grey model.
The rooms at Corte Kalìnora are designed to offer maximum comfort and well-being through a choice of quality furnishings, deliberately minimalist in style and with a simple yet refined design.
They are all equipped with a silent air conditioner with air ionizer, 32" LED monitor, safe, bedroom mirror, mini fridge bar, professional hairdryer, centralized heating, wifi connection, and mosquito nets on the windows.
The furniture, with defined geometric and linear shapes, is handcrafted in fine solid wood, as are the external fixtures and internal doors.
Together with the white "raw" plastered walls, the natural grain of the wood and the soft colors of the textiles, each room gives guests the feeling of a warm embrace and a pleasant sense of lightness.
To ensure the best rest, all beds are large in size, with pure latex mattresses with an energy hypoallergenic coating, 4 soft cloud-effect pillows, and orthopedic slatted frames.
The mini fridges are noise-free with zero emissions, and the air conditioners, in addition to being extremely silent, are equipped with a device that ionizes the air, purifying it from impurities and allergens.
The bathrooms are all equipped with clean design sinks and sanitary ware with essential lines, transparent glass shower cabins with a large rain showerhead, and chrome-plated faucets.
The textiles, both for bedding and bathroom, are all made of pure cotton.
