Casa a Corte
All the boxes of a Baroque-look tick list are checked at Casa a Corte, a stay as Apulian as they come. Spanning six centuries, this ornate home-from-home is one of the oldest in largely tourist-free Nardò. But it’s not peaked yet – thanks to owners Anne and Sylvain, the casa’s newest iteration continues to charm with coo-worthy original details (corner buttresses decorated with chubby cherubs, Neretini arches, patterned floor tiles, and exposed stone walls), modernist and contemporary touches (mid-century furnishings, integrated tech and dusty-pink plaster) and distinctly timeless pleasures, like lapping up Salento’s sun from the citrus-scented courtyard pool.
You’ll find Casa a Corte nestled deep inside Nardò’s historical centre, an olive’s throw from some of Puglia’s most picturesque beaches and a 20-minute drive to Lecce, the province’s capital.
