The Century Oak

Holiday Rental Description

Set within 5000 square metres of grounds, this place is an Italian paradise. Centuries-old oaks cast welcome shade over the gazebo with its dining area, as well as the lawn bordering the private swimming pool. Dotted around the gardens, you’ll find fruit trees such as apricots, figs, medlars and apples. Speaking of food, there’s also an outdoor kitchen, complete with a wood-burning oven and barbecue. Inside, there’s a rustic charm to the interiors and there are several seating areas. If you manage to explore all of the land here before you leave, then you may have time for some excursions. The town of Ceglie Messapica is 1 kilometre away, while Ostuni is just over 10 kilometres from this home.
