Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This villa has all the features and character of a traditional Apulian lamie, including bright, open interiors and extensive outdoor spaces, making it the perfect choice for a country escape. You're certainly spoiled with the size of the pool area – surrounded by loungers and olive groves, it's the perfect place to spend lazy days. However, you might be equally impressed with the expansive kitchen (you'll be cooking up Italian feasts in no time), and there's more than one lounge area for cosy gatherings – our favourite being the snug reading bench under the conical ceiling. Halfway between Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica, you've got plenty of culture on your doorstep, too.

Local guide
About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
