Casa Mela by Rentbeat

In the most authentic and poetic heart of Grottaglie, nestled among white stone alleyways that whisper centuries of history, lies Casa Mela — a charming holiday home suspended between Mediterranean tradition and contemporary elegance.



This warm and refined dwelling opens onto a spacious living area, where every detail has been carefully chosen to offer a relaxing, evocative, and welcoming stay. The open-plan space is centered around a modern dining table, ideal for romantic dinners or slow breakfasts with a view of the stone architecture. The kitchen, sleek and fully equipped, is perfect for guests who enjoy cooking even while on holiday — perhaps using fresh ingredients from the local market. Next to it, a comfortable double sofa bed provides additional sleeping space, accommodating up to four guests without ever compromising on style or comfort.



The entire space is enhanced by high ceilings, graceful arches, and stone walls, which preserve the memory of ancient homes and reveal, in every corner, the authentic character of historic Grottaglie residences. At the same time, each element has been reinterpreted through a modern lens: clean lines, warm tones, and soft lighting come together in a unique and harmonious design that tells a new love story between past and present.



A discreet and romantic staircase leads to the sleeping area — a suspended, peaceful haven where time seems to stand still. Here, a double bedroom, minimalist yet refined, welcomes guests into an embrace of calm and serenity. The private en suite bathroom, featuring modern finishes and thoughtful design touches, completes the interiors, offering a serene, intimate space where even the simplest daily rituals feel like moments of wellness.



Casa Mela is more than just a place to sleep — it’s a true living experience, crafted for those who wish to discover the genuine beauty of Southern Italy while enjoying the comfort of a home designed with heart and intention.



Located in the historic center of Grottaglie — a town world-renowned for its artisanal ceramics — Casa Mela invites guests to become part of the local culture. Just steps away, you’ll find artisan workshops, cozy cafés, art galleries, ancient baroque churches, and picture-perfect corners. Throughout the year, Grottaglie hosts a wide range of cultural events, local markets, exhibitions, and festivals that celebrate art, wine, cuisine, and Apulian traditions.



The home’s location is ideal for exploring the entire region. Within less than thirty minutes, you can reach the crystal-clear beaches of the Ionian Sea, while a short drive takes you to some of Southern Italy’s most treasured destinations: Alberobello, with its fairytale trulli, the white city of Ostuni, the majestic Matera and its Sassi, and Lecce, the Florence of the South.



In every season, Casa Mela offers a romantic, authentic, and unforgettable experience. Whether it’s for a weekend escape for two, a relaxing holiday, or a journey through art and nature, this home welcomes you with the warmth and soul that only a truly lived-in place can offer!
