Il Cubo | Stubenrauch Biondini Architettura

Located only 5 km from the sparking Ionian Sea, Il Cubo is nestled in a peaceful courtyard in the historic center of Nardò in the magical Salento region of southern Italy’s Puglia (Apulia). Arches and vaulted ceilings give this gem of a property its unique character. From a cobblestone lane, you entering the courtyard through an ancient Roman arch. An imposing two-leaf glass door leads directly from the courtyard into the open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Particularly impressive and romantic is the suspended sleeping loft below the historic arches. Simply close Il Cubo’s massive wooden doors to retreat in this spacious airy light-filled space with a nod to the past and a peaceful minimalistic interior. The bathroom has been thoughtfully located on the sleeping loft level. On the rooftop, the private terrace is the perfect place for a quiet dinner under the stars with the distant sound of church bells.
