Welcome to Casa dei Limoni, a one-of-a-kind retreat housed within a 16th-century heritage building in the oldest part of Nardò, just steps from the castle and the town’s lush botanical gardens.

This exclusive property reflects everything we love at AREA 8: total privacy, independent access, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and a magical citrus garden filled with centuries-old lemon, orange, and bergamot trees.

Once a mechanic’s garage, Bergamotto has been meticulously restored to its historic charm in collaboration with master local artisans. Every detail reflects a deep respect for tradition, with modern comforts layered in discreetly.

The main suite spans 50 square meters and features soaring ceilings, an ancient fireplace, walk-in wardrobe, and a generously sized bathroom. Natural light pours in through windows on three sides, creating a calm, airy atmosphere.

A separate guest bedroom offers its own private garden and outdoor bath, perfect for relaxed, sun-soaked privacy.

On the ground floor, you’ll find spacious living and dining areas that open onto the spectacular citrus garden, where a 1970s-style conversation pit invites you to unwind over long, lazy afternoons or intimate dinners al fresco.

Furnished throughout with our signature XXC Italian design pieces—handpicked from across the country—Casa dei Limoni offers a truly unique and deeply personal stay.
