Surrounded by ancient olive, almond and fruit trees lies this charming holiday villa. A beautifully restored lamia (a traditional Apulian country house) that is set among 5 hectares (12 acres) of olive groves.

The home is private and secluded yet ideally located to explore the nearby whitewashed villages of Ostuni, Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Polignano a Mare and the beautiful coastline and its sandy beaches.

The interiors are a minimalist’s dream – simple, modern and refined. The entrance leads to the open-plan living room complete with a fully fitted kitchen, sitting area and an antique wooden dining table by the fireplace. The two bedrooms (and two bathrooms) are situated off the main living area making the home ideal for a family holiday or couple’s retreat.

A large garden surrounds the home including a pool terrace and an inviting courtyard where you can read a book in the hammock, have a glass of wine at sunset by the outdoor lounge or enjoy a lovely dinner al fresco.

This idyllic retreat is the perfect base to explore the beauty of the region – walk in the Dune Costiere nature reserve, swim the Adriatic sea, visit the pretty villages of the Valle d’Itria and enjoy the lively ambiance and local cuisine. If you’re looking for a relaxing holiday in an authentic setting, this is a fantastic Apulian getaway.
