Perla Saracena, a luxury resort in Puglia facing the sea at Torre Pali, is the setting for six small villas and three suites with a panoramic upper level designed by the architecture firm Effkey helmed by Francesco Maglie and the engineer Luigi Verardi. Immersed in the Salento landscape, these residential solutions take their cue from the rural charm of the local pajare, small pearls of interior design wrapped in technological comfort. Pale, luminous rooms stand out, featuring water-blade showers for upper back massage, trompe-l’oeil Kerlite panels painted by hand, and antibacterial floors, dry stone walls, Mediterranean wood varieties, local vegetation and natural stone.
