Nestled amongst olive groves and vineyards, this villa – not far from the ancient town of Alezio – provides modern comforts in concert with rural charm. You’ll enjoy a slower pace of life as you rest by your pool with a book by Dante or Calvino. As the night creeps in, you may want to head over to a sunbed in the large Solarium and enjoy a glass of local wine, safe in the knowledge that hundreds of years of local expertise are behind every glass. Disappear for a while in your own private pine forest and park, covering over 50,000 square feet of land. Come back and enjoy quality time with your family or friends in the vast communal areas, before cooking your group something special in the kitchen and serving it up in the outside dining area. If you find yourself wanting to break from the seclusion of the villa, you’re just a short car’s journey away from some of Italy’s finest beaches. Fancy eating out for dinner? Head to the ancient city of Alezio for fine Italian cuisine.
