Nestled in the tranquility of the Salento countryside, Villa Sofia welcomes its guests into a familial atmosphere filled with warmth, simplicity, and genuine hospitality. Located in Novoli, just a few kilometers from the stunning Baroque city of Lecce and away from the hustle and bustle of crowded beach resorts, this establishment serves as the perfect starting point to explore Salento in complete relaxation. Its strategic location, situated between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, allows for quick access to some of the region's most picturesque beaches, offering a blend of beach days, culture, and local traditions.
The villa features newly constructed spaces designed to ensure comfort, privacy, and independence. All rooms are located on the ground floor and have independent access and private bathrooms, allowing guests to enjoy their stay with freedom and peace of mind. The double rooms, ideal for a romantic getaway, can be arranged with either a double bed or two single beds and are enhanced by a private patio of approximately 15 square meters, furnished with a pergola, table, and chairs, perfect for relaxing or enjoying breakfast outdoors. The Menta room can connect to the triple Basilico room, a particularly favored option for families or groups of friends.
The triple room Basilico comfortably accommodates small families or groups, featuring a double bed and a single bed, while maintaining the same focus on comfort and independence. The furnishings, inspired by the simplicity of the Apulian countryside, create a bright and relaxing environment. The spacious and functional quadruple rooms, Rosmarino and Salvia, can host up to four people with a double bed and the option to add two single beds, making them ideal for families with children or for stays with friends.
Villa Sofia is born from the passion for hospitality of Giuseppe and Maria Grazia, along with their sons Angelo and Davide, who have transformed their home into a place where guests truly feel welcomed rather than just travelers. The atmosphere resembles that of an authentic residence, where every stay becomes an opportunity for connection and sharing. Guests, including their four-legged friends, are received with care and attention, receiving helpful advice to make the most of their time in Lecce and the surrounding area.
Great attention is given to breakfast, designed as an experience of taste and well-being. Served directly in the guests' private space, it features fresh, selected products with customizable options to accommodate specific dietary needs. A highlight is the freshly baked pasticciotto from Salento, accompanied by brioche, artisanal cookies, small tarts, assorted yogurt, seasonal fresh fruit, jams, honey, and toasted bread. Coffee made with the moka pot, fragrant teas, milk, and juices complete an authentic and relaxing awakening. From spring to autumn, breakfast is served outdoors, under the flowering wisteria pergola, where the morning light and the scents of the countryside make every day’s beginning a special moment.
