Typical Salento house with swimming pool 6 km from Gallipoli

Casina Gidò is a unique emotional experience, immersed in the Salento colors and scents. It is one of those places where the meeting between sun and shadow, between the white of the Lecce stone and the yellow ocher of the carparo come together in a single body, talking about themselves and their history, tickling the traveler to experience them with the touch of hands and above all to walk barefoot, where the past meets the present until it merges into a timeless balance.
Its spacious and shiny structure does not, however, make him lose the idea of living in a refuge surrounded by nature where nothing can harm you ... it is the same nature that takes care of the guest with its luxuriant greenery, and the fresh relaxation of the open-air whirlpool and chromotherapy pool and the emotional shower under a reed.
Crossing the interiors, one observes the care and simplicity in the preservation of the countryside work items and the holiday rites that bring thoughts back to the sound of ancient voices, dialects and superstitions of the past.
All this was the result of a selection of skilled craftsmen from Salento, who forged iron, carved stone and wood using ancient materials and techniques to recover and give a new life to Casina Gidò.
A stylistic, material and chromatic continuity of the exteriors is found with the interiors, where the immense fireplace dominates the central solone and communicates with the typical Salento masonry kitchen where a pilozza dug into a block of Lecce stone is perfectly integrated.
Adjacent there are two cozy double bedrooms made with natural materials such as oak wood of the supporting beam supported by elegant stone barbicans, and elegant drapes of natural fiber allow the light that filters through the windows to pass through.
The presence of a large bathroom allows you to live unforgettable moments of relaxation and harmony, thanks to an enveloping cascade of water immersed in a tub made of Trani stone. The warm color contrasts of the cement tiles decorate the interiors in white lime.
The careful attention to detail that has characterized the eclectic owner of the structure, in order to totally revive the daily life of the peasant life, has strongly wanted the construction of a large wood oven to savor the ancient tradition of sharing of the bread and products of the typical gastronomy of the area using the raw materials collected directly from the vegetable garden.
