A hidden place in the middle of a typical small town in southern Italy. A hot tub on the roof, a homely view of the village, an ancient mulberry tree, refreshing pool and the original beauty of ancient architecture. The luxury of diving into Apulian life within walking distance.

Salento in Puglia...
heritage of a precious past,
rich history,
an explosion of culinary highlights,
turquoise blue sea and a natural paradise!
Borgo Gelso is a exclusive holiday villa in Puglia, which was completely renovated by the owners to restore the old architecture to its original beauty. Borgo Gelso consists of four independent buildings, each with luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms and its own kitchen.
In July and August, Borgo Gelso is only rented as a whole (for a maximum of 12 people), so you can exclusively use all rooms and luxury facilities. Outside these summer months, you can also rent one of the four independent accommodations (we will provide you with prices on request). They then share the swimming pool, garden and various terraces.
It is halfway between lecce and Capo di Leuca And if you want, you can call it home. The name Borgo is reminiscent of an autonomous structure surrounded by walls with 19th century charm and located right in the city center; a place where peace and wellbeing reign.
The estate pays homage to the mulberry tree, a century-old tree whose history is interwoven with Norman cultures and the vicissitudes of the Chinese emperors three millennia ago. It is the heir of a precious past and today provides shade and peace in a hamlet in the historic center of a small town in Salento.
Borgo Gelso is an ideal starting point: secluded yet centrally located, surrounded by an agricultural garden but equipped with all modern comforts. Starting with the organic mattresses, which give you new energy, to the mechanized window frames and the retractable lights, the modern furniture, the modern kitchens and services and — last but not least — the floor heating and cooling.
The 19th-century building typical of the area is reminiscent of a masseria with its renovated stone and tuff walls; a huge mulberry tree shades the largest courtyard and a small lemon grove is near the swimming pool and spa.
bedrooms and bathrooms
The 6 bedrooms are spread over the four independent buildings. Most rooms have stone vaulted ceilings and concrete floors typical of Puglia. Everywhere, you'll find a combination of modern design, eye-catching colors, and interesting elements that make every room unique and personal. There are also 6 luxurious bathrooms, most of which are en suite. The bathrooms are equipped with walk-in showers and sometimes even a spacious bathtub. All rooms have floor cooling and heating. First-class mattresses and high-quality bed linen and towels are also available.
Living areas and kitchens
Each independent building has a cozy living room with relaxed sitting areas, fireplaces, and modern kitchens. The kitchens are each equipped with an oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer, espresso machine, kettle, hob or stove and other hob or stove and other cooking utensils. On request, a private chef can come to Borgo Gelso and enjoy an Apulian meal with a Primitivo wine from the cellar.
Outdoor area & pool
Outside, you'll find several retreats or places where you can meet up with other guests. Around the pool, you'll find several sun loungers and even a large Balinese lounger. There is also a dining table and a barbecue. Finally, there is a spacious roof terrace with a hot tub and a wonderful view over Surano. There is no better way to enjoy the beauty and charm of Apulian Dolce Vita!
