Location and Surrounding Area. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the bright walls of this striking villa glisten in the sunshine and the bright interiors are elegantly styled in restful whites and beiges. Offering a calm atmosphere, Property 1651263807 is an exclusive retreat for those seeking complete relaxation in one of the most evocative corners in Southern Italy. Famous for its whitewashed towns, excellent food, gorgeous coastline and beautiful beaches, this area of Southern Italy features all the ingredients for the perfect vacation.

The property is just a stone’s throw away from the centre of Manduria, a fascinating old city with a long and ancient history that is still in evidence today. Wander through its narrow lanes to admire historical treasures from bygone ages and taste wines that have been produced in the area for hundreds of years. Its most famous wine is Primitivo di Manduria, a red wine made from Primitivo grapes. Learn about its history at the Museum of Primitivo Wine and enjoy a tasting session in the winery the museum is housed in.

Ceglie Messapica, a tiny village in the Valle d'Itria that is frequently overshadowed by well-known locations like Ostuni, Locorotondo, and Alberobello, is only a few kilometres away from the masseria. For those who wish to see the more grounded side of Apulia, Ceglie Messapica is a bit of a godsend. Regarded as Italy's culinary centre, the village consists of a central village with a castle, piazza, and historic palaces, and an outer area dotted with white-washed trulli.

Porto Cesareo sits on a prestigious part of the Ionian coast, enjoying a long stretch of beach and sparkling clean seas. The popular seaside resort has an amazing 17 km of golden beach facing an archipelago of low-lying islands that form a protected bay. The water is calm and clear. Porto Cesareo is also the home of a nature preserve that is a marine protected area rich in flora and fauna with very rare species. Underwater excursions allow for viewing of the unique coral formations, turtles, sea horses, and other marine life.

White-washed Ostuni is chic and sparkling, a fairy tale town that is all covered in white. With its ancient cobblestone streets, grand churches and quaint white houses, Ostuni boasts remarkable history that goes back to the Stone Ages. The Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace are especially striking, but there are many other architectural gems to be found, including the old homes of the nobles: you would not be mistaken for thinking that you are wandering around a lovely Greek village.
