Step inside and you’ll find interiors that are both inviting and thoughtfully appointed. The spacious living room offers a comfortable setting for relaxation, complete with elegant furnishings and a warm, welcoming ambiance. A fully equipped kitchen, finished with high-quality materials and modern appliances, provides everything needed for preparing delicious meals. The villa also includes a stylish dining area, perfect for gathering with family and friends. The ground floor also features seven beautifully designed bedrooms, each with its own unique character and serene views of the surrounding countryside, whilst on the first floor, an additional two bedrooms can be found. Throughout the home, traditional Apulian craftsmanship is evident in the details, from the graceful staircase to the carefully chosen décor, ensuring a harmonious blend of heritage and contemporary comfort.

The estate’s expansive gardens are a true highlight, featuring more than one hundred ancient olive trees, almond trees, pomegranate trees, and aromatic herbs such as sage, rosemary, and lavender. The terraced landscape offers a picturesque setting for leisurely strolls or quiet contemplation. At the summit of the property, guests can unwind in the infinity pool, soak in the hot tub, or rejuvenate in the sauna; all perfectly positioned to capture the sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside.

The famous whitewashed town of Ostuni, known as the “White City,” is just 11 km from the villa; a short twentry minute drive or a pleasant walk through the countryside. The picturesque villages of the Valle d’Itria, including Cisternino and Martina Franca, are within a twenty to thirty minute drive, offering charming streets, local markets, and authentic Apulian dining, whilst the Adriatic coastline, with its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, can be reached in under half an hour by car.

About the area

Puglia

Average weather

Italy’s sun-kissed south is remote and quiet, with a gorgeous coastline and perfect summer weather that make relaxing in your villa that teeny bit better. Go beyond the lazy villa days, and this southern beauty has a wealth of culture and history that’s just waiting to be explored. Towns here are UNESCO-listed and its tiny trulli houses are world-famous. Discover an olive-tree studded countryside, relax in rural masserias, admire mysterious works of architecture and spend every day indulging in the most simple, but soul-stirring, food.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Please note that there is a European tourist tax payable on arrival. Further details will be advised prior to arrival.

Having a barbecue in Italy is one of the best ways to cook your food but you may find that due to long drought periods in high season barbecuing may be restricted in some areas. You will be informed if this happens by your house staff or local representative.
