A Barefoot Escape in the Olive Groves of Ostuni
Inspired by Mediterranean seaside escapes, this carefully curated retreat under Puglia’s blue skies near the famed white village of Ostuni was created to shimmer. And its brightly whitewashed architecture, its sparkling infinity pool, and its designer interiors selected for their timelessness do just that.
A Marriage of Tradition and Design in an Ancient Stone Trullo Retreat
Unfolding room by room, this designer retreat offers three bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms plus a half bath, both indoor and outdoor kitchens, and an infinity pool.
Inside the original trullo part of the home, two bedrooms are carved into alcoves of the ancient stones. One bedroom is a larger queen room under curving ceilings with a bathroom (shower). The other is an Apulian classic, an intimate queen bedroom under a classic conical trullo roof that shares the bathroom. The third bedroom is also a queen with an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.
In the common areas, sleek Italian design comes into focus. There’s a black kitchen that contrasts with the villa’s white walls, a lounge with a pair of sofas and designer lighting and minimalist furniture, and oversized French doors that open to a shaded gazebo, a full open-air kitchen and alfresco dining room and the 40-square-meter infinity pool with its own lounging gazebo furnished with couches. An outdoor shower completes the picture, with ancient olive trees and wild Mediterranean gardens offering insulating privacy.
Experiences
Concierge services available include private chef, driver, wellness and spa treatments in villa, private yacht or boat charters, exclusive tours and custom-tailored guided excursions, grocery shopping, yoga sessions at the villa, babysitting services, wine tastings and sommelier services and tours, and securing local restaurant and event reservations.
Around
The villa is located in Contrada San Benedetto, a rural region renowned for its ancient olive groves. The historic center of Ostuni, a town of labyrinthine alleys, whitewashed buildings and vibrant, flowering piazzas, is only three kilometers from the home. The Adriatic coast is a 15-minute drive, with pristine beaches such as Villanova, the Costa Merlata and Torre Pozzella regional favorites. The gastronomical capital of Ceglie Messapica is about 20 minutes away, promising great local farm-to-table meals from simple to white tablecloth quality. Alberobello, is also nearby, for architecture enthusiasts and history buffs. The UNESCO World Heritage town is famed for its thousands of trulli, transformed as homes, shops, and cultural outlets.
