Beneath vaulted ceilings and stone archways, every inch of this Italian villa feels like a sacred sanctuary. About two thousand years ago, these olive trees were planted – and this palatial home now honours them. Just a short drive away from the white-washed city of Ostuni, the design here follows local tradition, but the elegant interior elevates it completely.
Drive up to a gated entrance – see the trim lawn and romantic cobblestones – and feel a sense of grace and grandeur as soon as you arrive. Underground, you'll find the old mill – a preserved place that is perfect for dinner parties and wine tastings. Above, there's a relaxing massage room and a peaceful living space where you can unwind.
Behind wooden shutters, every bedroom boasts outdoor access – plus, refreshing rain showers in the en-suite bathrooms. If you don't fancy heading out to nearby Costa Merlata, take a dip in your private salt pool instead. Before a barbecue lunch, why not sip Nespresso coffee under the pergola?
Consider hiring a private chef, so all you need to do is gather your loved ones around the dining table. On your doorstep, you'll discover a surf school, tennis courts, and horse-riding lessons. Even better, you can have it all arranged for you through the booking services available.
