In the open countryside of region Puglia, where silence is broken only by the rustle of the wind in the leaves of the olive and almond trees, or by the birdsongs, you can find this amazing villa with trulli and lamia.
Located close to Ostuni “the white town”, it is an excellent holiday rental property with additional private apartment, perfect if you’re looking for a life change.
The Villa
The villa has been completely renovated to be an eco-friendly home. The materials used are all natural such as stone, wood and water-based plaster. Electricity is produced by a photovoltaic system and almost all devices, including the water lifting pump and the heating system, work with electricity produced by the photovoltaic panels.

The bigger apartment is for the guests, it’s arranged over two floors and it includes a spacious and bright living room with fireplace, a kitchen and a guest bathroom, as well as a large room, normally used as a yoga room. On the upper floor there is a sitting area arranged over the mezzanine and 4 spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathroom.
A smaller apartment on the first floor is the owner’s private home, with sitting room, studio, bedroom and bathroom. Downstairs there’s another small area for guests with a kitchen/dining room, as well as a bathroom and a spacious bedroom.
In order to guarantee maximum comfort in terms of internal temperature and energy saving, the house has been provided with insulated walls and roof, as well as with thermal glasses for the windows. An air conditioning system gives the guests the possibility to have cool or warm air according to their preferences.
The Annexes
The area covered by the trulli is about 65 sq.m. and this building features 5 cones with living area, where a small kitchen has been arranged, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. This dwelling is also used for the holiday rentals and it’s very charming because it features the typical conic roof with chianche.
Internally you can see the archetypal features of this kind of dwellings, with stones and white plaster.
The lamia measures ca. 50 sq.m. and it’s also used for the holiday rentals being composed of a living area, bedroom and bathroom.
For both buildings, the current owners have opted for minimal décor, but very much in line with tradition, so guests feel warmly welcomed in this special space.
The Land
The property develops over 1.5 ha of red grounds, typical of region Puglia, with 250 olive trees to produce your own organic olive oil, as well as 50 fruit trees, to produce homemade jam.
A little bit detached from the buildings, there’s the 7x4m pool. Currently it’s out of the ground, but you may apply for an inground pool.
Last but not least, the current owners have dug the ground to find water and now the property enjoys a well, as well as a water tank, so they can be fully independent in terms of water supply, especially in the summer.
The Location
Ostuni is a worldwide known town, famous for its small and white lanes winding around the perimeter walls. It is a lively town, especially in the summer, when all restaurants, bars and osterias get decorated with flowers and fairy lights, and tables are brought out to let people dine or enjoy an aperitif in the open air.
Ostuni is also famous for being a classy place, where you can relax or just enjoy a walk around, yet close to the coast. As a matter of facts, if you wish to enjoy a day by the beach, getting to the coast is just a matter of 10min by car.
The location of this amazing property is extremely strategic because it’s in the middle of an important triangle in Valle D’Itria: Ostuni, Carovigno and San Michele Salentino. Also Ceglie Messapica and San Vito dei Normanni are not far away. This makes the area where the property is located very attractive for tourists, because in 10 minutes they can get anywhere and make different kinds of experiences.
