Ostuni Estate, Puglia

Description

Lovingly brought to life by two brothers passionate about creating a special place for family and friends to enjoy, a stay at this timeless one-of-a-kind retreat offers unforgettable authentic culinary and cultural experiences.

Ostuni Estate is a luxury villa in Puglia – in fact, it’s three separate dwellings that come together to form an exclusive-use complex that’s an exceptional example of local rural architecture. Reached by a pathway through olive groves, the sun-kissed estate is packed with character, each residence sensitively restored to enhance its original charm with high-spec facilities using the modern principles of bio-architecture.

You’ll find gorgeous verandas, large outdoor dining tables, a pool house and wide-open spaces that encourage everyone to unwind together. Your experience here can totally be tailored to your preferences, with an excellent range of add-ons including cheese making, wine tasting and folk events.

Closest to the shimmering swimming pool lies The Trulli, with its thick stone walls, round rooms and pointed-dome roofs. It’s a charming cocoon sleeping four guests in two en-suite double bedrooms. There are shared sociable spaces here too – as well as a well-equipped kitchen, a new living and dining area overlooks the swimming pool.

Adjacent to The Trulli you’ll find The Lamia, a fully renovated stone farm building with four individual en-suite bedrooms consisting of three double bedroom and a quadruple bunk room. Tucked away at the edge of the estate, The Saraceno completes the trio. This impressive trullo has one bed nestled in an arched stone nook directly off of the living area, its own kitchen, separate double bedroom, separate bathroom and a cosy and private courtyard where you can sit and watch the wildflowers swaying in the breeze at Ostuni Estate, Puglia.
