THE VILLA

Our Story

Villa Donna Eleonora is more than a place to stay, it’s a way of experiencing Puglia as it is, simple, warm, and deeply connected to the land.

Once an old pagliara dating back to the early 1900s, the villa has been carefully restored by the Ferilli family, preserving its original character while making it comfortable for modern stays.

Surrounded by dry stone walls and centuries-old olive trees, it remains rooted in the landscape of Salento, quiet, understated, and shaped by tradition.

What began as a family project has become a place where guests are welcomed not just to visit, but to experience a different rhythm of life.
