Villa Ostuni

The experience begins when you enter through the wrought-iron gate. Lavender, rosemary and ancient olive trees form a welcoming committee while white limestone paves the way to the courtyard. Here, you’ll find lemon and mandarin trees, along with the characteristic prickly pear cactus — as emblematic of Apulia as trulli and orecchiette. 

In the courtyard basin is a sculpture created by a local artist that invites you to pause. Its title, “The Weight of Nothingness,” gives a hint of the value of the days to come.

Continuing on, you enter the casa via the living area, which features a unique star-vaulted ceiling made of light sandstone. There’s an open-plan kitchen (crafted by a local carpenter and fitted with high-quality appliances), a lounge with an open fireplace and a spacious dining area. 

In each of the two wings, there are three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms – all different in size but bright and full of details. Every room can be accessed from both inside and outside. 

A door leads onto the terrace with its dining and lounge areas, where you’ll be greeted by the turquoise waters of the 13-metre-long infinity pool (complete with a large “beach” area). The outdoor kitchen and bar (along with the lounge and dining area) are all designed in the trendy “Ibiza meets Ostuni” style – light, casual and full of zest for life.

Starting in March 2025, a yoga pavilion and whirlpool will also be added within the 1.4-hectare olive grove.

Upon request, the Villa Ostuni team can clean the villa daily or just once a week, stock the fridge with local delicacies, provide great local tips or organise private tours in the surrounding area. Massages, airport transfers, a fine selection of wines – everything is possible.

For those who wish, Chef Angelo can spoil them with a refined Apulian dinner, brunch or fantastic cocktails. Wine tasting and yoga classes can also be arranged on request, as can bike tours and a vintage car tour with Gigi in a Fiat 500 (1970).

The villa also features an EV charging station directly powered by the photovoltaic system. Amenities within the casa include soaps and creams from traditional Italian manufacturers, kimonos to wear around the house and postcards for use on-site. We also provide beach bags, hats, umbrellas and yoga mats.

Torre Pozzella is my favourite beach, with its crystal clear waters, pure nature and combination of sandy and rocky coves. It’s 15 minutes' drive from Villa Ostuni.
