For over six centuries, this imposing holiday villa in Puglia has dominated vineyards and olive trees and is now available for rent for a lovely Italian vacation. This historical residence, originally built in the 15th century as a medieval tower, is now an elegant mansion, representing a real reflection of the greatness of Baroque architecture and sophisticated design details. The external façade of the house, embellished by decorations engraved in local stones, accentuates the importance and noble origins of the founder family of this manor.
The inner spaces are decorated by frescoes, vaults and arches, and representations of noble emblems as well. This villa is the perfect getaway for a special villa stay filled with calm and peaceful countryside, surrounded by nothing but citrus groves, centuries-old olive trees, and a scenic landscape extending as far as the eye can see. The outdoor park is a quiet oasis where guests can pamper themselves with leisurely swim retreats in the wonderful private pool or just soak the sun on cosy lounge chairs.
The mild climate allows to spend lovely days outdoors and organize alfresco activities through the colder seasons as well as to enjoy the beauty of Puglia and its captivating nuances during all year. Guests will also have the chance to taste organic seasonal products grown around the villa.
A cozy living area is warmed up by a fireplace to create a sense of privacy and calmness that only a home can provide. In the same open space, the large dining area is brightened by a floor-to-ceiling window which offers direct access to the garden. Featuring a long rustic wooden table and the same style chairs, this is the ideal space to gather with loved ones during special meals.
The four bedrooms on the first floor lead off a beautiful central upstairs sitting room. Pared-back elegance means that the original features, such as the high ceilings, an ornate alcove, stone floors, thick distressed plaster walls and shuttered windows, take centre stage. Colourful headboards and lampshades add drama while the deep mattresses provide comfort. There are two doubles and two bedrooms that can be made up as twins on request. There are two large bathrooms, both of which honour the architectural space with integrity. One has a huge fireplace and a sculptural tub alongside it, while the other has a shower within an alcove.
There is an additional bedroom and en-suite bathroom separate from the main house that can be made available for a larger party then 8 guests (at extra cost).
Villa (182 sq. m) comes with an additional highlight related to its fantastic location: with just a few minutes' car drive, sea lovers will be able to reach the most pretty beaches on the Ionian coast and famous white sandy beaches brightened up by crystal-clear waters. For travelers looking for city tours and ready to dive into history and architecture, the villa is located among several baroque towns filled with historical mansions and authentic Apulian Masserias.
