This charming, country home was built in the 1600s by a local prince as a rural retreat and though the house has been modernised, the villa is still a serene escape where you can get away from it all in the Puglian countryside. The home is spread over two floors; on the ground floor you will find the main living space, which is a vast room with plenty of comfortable seating where you can gather together in the evenings. There is also a large dining room with antique furnishings and a fully fitted kitchen for preparing drinks and meals. There is also another living room upstairs which would be great for the kids to spend time together away from the grown-ups.
When you wish to turn in for the evening you can choose between six bedrooms. There are 3 bedrooms on the ground floor and 3 on the first floor; each of the rooms is well-equipped and beautifully decorated with a warm and inviting colour palette, comfy bed and en-suite bathroom, so you are sure of a restful night whichever room you have.
One of the finest features of the villa is its incredible garden which sits behind the original garden walls. Amidst the lush planting, trees and cacti you will discover a number of seating areas, dining spaces and spots for reading a good book in the shade. When you wish to cool down on a hot day, why not take a dip in the gorgeous private pool before firing up the barbecue and opening a bottle of local wine.
If you would like to go out for breakfast or need to pick up some groceries, the nearest village is located just 5km away. Savelletri is a pretty fishing village where the sea view restaurants serve the fresh catch of the day. The harbour is where you will find some brilliant sea food restaurants, though you can also tuck in to local pasta dishes if you prefer. There are shops, cafes and historical sites as well as some lovely beaches. Whether you favour a sandy beach or a rocky cove where you can take part in water sports, both are available here.
When you wish to see more of the area, you can easily reach the lively town of Fasano which is 5km away, the stunning Trulli town of Locorotondo which is 16km away and the glamorous seaside town of Polignano a Mare which is 21km away.
