Puglia & Basilicata, Italy
A small, smart and contemporary house with a large pool and extensive gardens, this very private villa in Puglia is a rare find. With excellent restaurants nearby, it’s just a couple of kilometres from sandy beaches and beach clubs.
Comfortably accommodating four guests, but making a romantic retreat if booked just for two, Villa Egnazia is a glass fronted house, with crisp white décor and an uncluttered style. Outside, a brick-laid driveway leads to very extensive and beautifully lawns, punctuated with old olive trees, and screened for privacy with high hedges and white walls draped in bougainvillea. Inside is an open-plan living area, the clean lines of a contemporary kitchen raised three steps above the sitting/dining room, where floor to ceiling windows look out to the garden and pool. The monochrome interiors are spiced here and there with mustard highlights; local ceramics and there are two bedrooms, a double and a twin, and a chic shower room in bronzy earth tones. A door from the kitchen leads out to a furnished decked dining area, shaded by a huge tree with lighting and overlooking the pool; the sitting room opens on to the lawns, with seats; and there are ample sun loungers and an outdoor shower on the paved poolside terrace. This is a very private spot and in an excellent location -within 2.5km of beach clubs with restaurants and non-motorised watersports in Savelletri and Capitolo and further restaurants are within easy reach. The villa is also just 4.5km from Fasano, for trains to Lecce (98km away).
Please note that there is a European tourist tax payable on arrival to the Property Manager. The amount per person is Euro 2 per night and is set by the local council.
An additional 2 people can be accommodated on the sofa bed in the sitting room at no additional cost.

If a building can be a symbol for a whole region, then the trullo stands for Puglia—also known as ‘Apulia’ in English. Think of a Puglia villa holiday and those round, whitewashed limestone buildings with their comical, conical roofs always spring to mind. But there’s more to the region that is the narrow heel of Italy’s boot than trullo country around Alberobello. Discover baroque beauty in Lecce, Emperor Frederick II’s mysterious architecture at the Castel del Monte, and total relaxation on a Puglia villa stay in a rural Masseria.
