This villa is a brand-new property, opened in July 2019.
Nestled in 1 hectare of extensive grounds dotted with olive and fruit trees and Mediterranean vegetation, this villa is the perfect gateway to indulgence and relaxation.
It imbibes all the traditional, rustic charm of a restored historic dwelling with top grade finishes for every contemporary comfort.
Uncluttered minimalist design and unique personality, together with the architecture of the villa’s original structure, give the space a relaxed and elegant feel.
The villa is made of 2 main units, one of which is an old “lamia”, a typical Apulian dwelling which was used by farmers working their land. Adjacent to the lamia is an old trullo. The ideal accommodation is 6 people, so that all Guests can enjoy their own private bedroom with its en-suite bathroom. However, for larger parties, a double sofa-bed in the living room can accommodate 2 more people for a maximum of 6+2 Guests.
With its sun-drenched terrace by the swimming-pool, a 50 sqm gazebo offering a fully equipped kitchen and a lounge area and more lounge areas with small tables and chairs scattered along the garden, this villa makes for an excellent relaxation destination, a real peaceful oasis.
The gardens are expansive, brightly flowered, with an array of Mediterranean plants, cacti, olive and fruit trees. An incredible setting that encourages lazy days: from the outdoor gazebo, onto the sun deck to the immaculately maintained lawn, the outside of the villa is a superb area for spending leisurely hours and is the perfect place for families with children.
The villa is located in the countryside of Ostuni Citta’ Bianca, yet within driving distance from Ostuni’s city center.

The Interior
The interior design of the villa – curated with superb care, is a stylish blend of old – the whitewashed stone, the trulli and the lamia on one hand, and new – contemporary furniture and sleek fittings, on the other. Ceramic objects have been custom made by the artisans of Grottaglie, a small town a few kilometres from Taranto which is famous for its “pottery district”, a creative place where sophisticated terracotta works are produced.
The central lamia includes a comfortable open space with a living room and a kitchenette and 2 bedrooms, both with their en-suite bathroom.
The living room offers a lounge TV area featuring comfortable intimate seating for up to 6 Guests with a sofa and two armchairs. A Nespresso machine is available for Guests for sipping a good Italian coffee and enjoying an authentic slice of Italian life.
The kitchenette offers everything Guests may need to make their stay comfortable and relaxed and may serve as a dining room on those few days when the weather is less than perfect. The dining area features a comfortable design table seating up to 8 people, with a base made of natural barked hornbeam trunk sections and a top in waxed iron plate. The cooking area is adequate for the number of people it accommodates.
The queen bedrooms are provided with luxury comforts, such as the finest mattresses and high-end premium linens, and they offer comfortable wardrobes, flat screen TVs, a safe and an en-suite bathroom. The 2 beds in the main lamia are both equipped with a storage base which is perfect for creating extra room for your clothes. All bathrooms are provided with large showers and hairdryers. All bedrooms are equipped with mosquito nets and blackout curtains.
The adjacent trullo, with its own independent entrance, adds to the original charm of this home featuring a real suite with a queen-size bed and en-suite bathroom located in an open alcove. The bathroom is a real “gem”: carved into the stone of the ancient trullo, it offers a double shower and an unparalleled cosy atmosphere.
