Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Nestled in the picturesque Valle d'Itria, this historic home is a real gem. It's surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and offers views of nearby Ostuni, only a five-minute drive away. On a summer's day, there's no better spot to unwind than beside the private pool. Afterwards, tuck into an alfresco dinner on the terrace – your host can arrange cooking lessons and chefs for a fee. We're big fans of the traditional features inside – think exposed stone and arched doorways – yet with a collection of en-suite bedrooms, everyone will have plenty of space and privacy.

Local guide
About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
