Villa Subbiano

Villa Subbiano is set within a 5.3-acre olive grove, which immediately creates privacy and a feeling of simplicity and calm. When you enter the building, a formal lounge leads to two large bedrooms with king-size beds, en-suites and doors leading directly to the garden. All of the spaces have been furnished and detailed with a simple yet elegant touch that meets guests’ needs.

If you continue through the lounge, you’ll arrive at the open-plan kitchen and another relaxed living area with a fireplace. Double glass doors lead to a large covered terrace where there are an outdoor kitchen and alfresco dining area shaded by pergolas, with views across the olive grove and beyond.

A short walk through the olive trees leads to the swimming pool that’s framed by lavender on one side and a spacious sunbathing area on the other. A curved wall around the pool creates seclusion and there are two outdoor showers for freshening up.

A few yards from the main house is a large studio bedroom for two, complete with an en-suite and private terrace.

The house features: Air conditioning - Central heating - Kitchen with high tech modern facilities (oven, 6 ring induction hob, double fridge and freezer, dishwasher, Nespresso Machine etc.) - Traditional outdoor kitchen with cooking area - WiFi - Alarm system - laundry service - general housekeeping - cleaning of pool - single level house without stairs - large parking area in front of main house.

The kitchen is fully equipped with high-tech modern facilities, including a six-ring induction hob, double fridge and freezer, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine. It’s just 10 minutes to Ceglie Messpica where you’ll find a good selection of grocery stores with everything you need or we can organise meal services if you prefer.

There’s wireless internet throughout the house, as well as air-conditioning and central heating. We offer a full laundry service and daily cleaning on request (otherwise it’s every four days) and can organise car transfers. Yoga classes, massages and personal training sessions are also possible.

Ostuni is one of the most beautiful towns in Puglia and just 20 minutes’ drive from the house. Torre Guacheto is also just 30 minutes away and offers some incredible beaches. With its ceramic industry and stores, Grotaglie is also a “must” — you’ll find plenty of pieces to take home.

Ceglie Messapica is right on your doorstep and has an amazingly well-preserved historic centre that dates back to the 15th century BC. Lecce is also well worth a visit, as is Martina Franca for its Baroque architecture. If you’re interested in seeing Puglia’s unique Trulli buildings, then head to Alberobello, or you could visit Oria, Ostuni and Monopoli, all of which have retained an authentic Italian reality based on tradition.
