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.

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...
