Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re looking for a stunning holiday home to spend quality time with your loved ones, this one hits the nail on the head. You can sweat away in the sauna, followed by a plunge in the private pool – which even comes with a swim-up bar. We love the rock features inside the villa and talking about rocks – there’s a fifty-meter deep grotto to explore on the grounds. You’re only a walk away from some great Italian cuisine and there are plenty of towns well worth visiting nearby.

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...
