Casa L'Ulivo

In the heart of Puglia’s Valle d’Itria, nestled among 2 hectares (5 acres) of olive trees, lies this luxury villa rental. This charming farmhouse has been lovingly restored by a renowned Australian fashion and interior designer. Situated between the charming towns of Ostuni and Cisternino – an area that remains true to the “typical’ Apulian landscape with whitewashed towns, roads lined by stone walls, centuries-old olive trees and trullo cones dotted throughout.

The interiors are bright with natural light and are a beautiful blend of traditional local architecture and modern amenities. This home captures the essence of its surroundings wonderfully through its simple, elegant décor and soft, neutral color palette.

The main house consists of a living room, fully fitted kitchen with dining area, a master en suite bedroom as well as two additional bedrooms that share an independent bathroom. The fourth bedroom, with its en suite bathroom and private terrace, is situated in the guest cottage.

The kitchen and dining area opens onto the main courtyard that has a wonderful outdoor lounge, shaded outdoor dining area and wood burning pizza oven. A few steps from the stone courtyard, through the olive trees, you will find the large inviting swimming pool. Next to the pool is a gazebo with an outdoor lounge, ideal for happy hour al fresco while watching the sunset.

Swim among the olive trees, take a pizza making class in the stone courtyard and explore the nearby picturesque villages and sandy beaches. This beautiful countryside villa is the ultimate Apulian retreat.
