Villa Tafuri
ABOUT
Villa Tafuri dominates in silence the splendid Salento countryside.
It can be defined one of the oldest villas in Salento.
It was born as a watchtower in the Middle Ages, while during the Renaissance period it underwent a considerable expansion, commissioned by the noble Tafuri family, in order to transform it into a splendid country villa (Maniero), between vineyards and olive trees.
In the past it was used as a summer and autumn residence in order to control the harvests.
Born on an area rich in historic houses a few minutes from the sea, it has a strategic position among the towns of Galatone, Galatina and Nardò, offering numerous cycle routes between dry-stone walls and typical Salento vegetation.
