Hey from Eleonora

Member since April 2025 | 2,527 hits

Welcome! We are Eleonora and Nando, and for the past six years, we have been passionately managing this establishment, continuing the work that our father Carlo started. We strive to honor the sacrifices of my mother Maria as well, always putting love and dedication into what we do. Nando is a great enthusiast of billiards and music, while I, Eleonora, have a passion for cycling and basketball. Our philosophy is to make our guests feel at home by providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We moved from Turin to Nardò just five years ago, and we are constantly working to ensure that every visitor can appreciate our hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you with enthusiasm and readiness to help. A warm hug,
Eleonora and Nando.

A nice and well-kept property located in front of the beautiful sea of Salento and in a strategic position (a few kilometers from some of the most beautiful towns and beaches of Salento). An ideal place for those who want to relax and get away from city stress. Nando and Eleonora, the owners, are delightful people. With their courtesy and availability, they make the stay at Villa Desiderio an experience to repeat and recommend.

Seafront property. The villa is very well maintained, especially outside. The outdoor breakfast area is fantastic and very fresh. Excellent location, close to Porto Cesareo and its wonderful beaches. Recommended property. We will return.

Grazie sig.ra Abbruzzese, questo non può che farci piacere..

How to describe Villa Desiderio? It is an oasis of peace and relaxation overlooking the wonderful sea of Sant'Isidoro. For four years it has been our "seaside home", a place that welcomes us every summer and from which we always leave with a bit of nostalgia. It is really easy to feel at home here. Eleonora and Nando are extraordinary people: welcoming, thoughtful and always attentive to every detail. With their kindness and availability they manage to make every stay truly unique and special. Days start in the best possible way: the silence, the sea breeze, the scent of coffee and the delicious breakfasts lovingly prepared by Nando bring a smile from the first awakening. And then there is the sea of Sant'Isidoro: crystal clear, enchanting, capable of rejuvenating body and mind. What more could one wish for? This year too the time to say goodbye has come. We leave this little corner of paradise with our hearts full of wonderful memories and with the certainty that we will return again. In the meantime, we have already started the countdown to next summer. We recommend Villa Desiderio to anyone who wants to slow down, unplug and treat themselves to a few days of true serenity. We take a piece of this place with us in our hearts, waiting to return once more to our "seaside home". ❤️ See you soon! Enrico, Michela and Francesca.

A delightful discovery! The villa is located a few meters from the sea and 40 meters from a cove with very clean water. A few kilometers from the best-known beaches of Porto Cesareo (less than 6 km) and Porto Selvaggio, it is in a very quiet area ideal for relaxing. Also very close are other destinations such as Nardò and Lecce, and a few minutes away is the small center of Marina di Nardò where you can find bars, supermarkets etc. The hosts are extremely kind and very helpful and the rooms are clean and functional. We will definitely return!

Buongiorno Manuela Grazie mille per le tue bellissime parole di conforto, cercheremo di migliorare sempre. Vi aspettiamo nuovamente. Saluti Eleonora e Nando Villa Desiderio

Fantastic location, seaside, breathtaking view and absolute tranquility. The structure is not brand new and, if we want to be picky, some details in the rooms could be improved a bit. However, all this takes a back seat to the kindness and hospitality of Nando and Eleonora, two wonderful people who are always ready to do anything to satisfy the customer. They made us feel absolutely at ease, also providing us with excellent suggestions for great dinners both seafood and land. Breakfast with warm pasticciotti and sea view, great stuff!
