Surrounded by olive trees and stone walls, this villa is a peaceful spot in the Apulian countryside, just a short drive from Castellana Grotte. The pool is a real highlight, with loungers, a shady patio, fruit trees, and the bonus of an outdoor shower and bathroom for easy pool days. Inside, you’ll find a beautiful mix of traditional and modern style. The main bedroom stands out with its dome roof and stone walls, while the kitchen has glass on three sides so you can cook and dine with a garden view.
