Property 10560

Location and Surrounding Area

Located in one of the most appreciated areas in Apulia, just a few kilometers from the Adriatic coast, this nine-bedroom masseria is ideally situated to offer complete privacy to its guests, providing an opulent retreat for those who want to explore the Valle d’Itria and its countryside, dotted with characteristic trulli, dry-stone walls, vineyards and olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see. Famous for its whitewashed towns and beautiful beaches, the Valle d’Itria features all the ingredients for the perfect vacation.

The villa is just a stone’s throw from Ostuni, which shines out against the surrounding verdant landscape. Its hilltop center takes in a panorama that ranges over a hinterland rich in art and tradition to the turquoise shades of the distant sea. The villa is less than an hour from Martina Franca, the largest town in the Valle d’Itria. Being in the heart of the valley, Martina Franca is a great base from which to explore the area, but spend some time exploring its old center which boasts beautiful Baroque architecture and quaint streets.

The villa is just a stone’s throw from Locorotondo, a whitewashed hilltop town designated as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy, and from Cisternino, often listed as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. After you have visited the historic Chiesa di San Nicola, you can get charming views of the surrounding countryside from Piazza Garibaldi, across the street from the church, and the Torre Civica, the tower which helped to protect the city.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Savelletri, a pretty port town with beaches and great dining options. Known for the quality seafood, Savelletri offers a traditional fishing village atmosphere. Enjoy some fresh fish just brought in by the fishermen and stroll along the charming seafront. There is a lovely waterfront church with Templar symbols, which is dedicated to the patron saint, celebrated in grand style on the second Sunday of August with a procession by sea of boats.

Crystal clear waters and cliffs pitted with caves carved by the sea give Polignano a Mare its uniqueness. Known as the pearl of the Adriatic, Polignano a Mare is the ideal place to plunge into uncontaminated waters and explore a picturesque historic center by the sea. In just half an hour by car, you can easily reach Alberobello, famous for its trulli houses. The conical rooftops coupled with charming cobblestone alleys and whitewashed houses are a simply magical sight.
