Villa Ulivo stands as an enchanting early 20th-century estate perched atop the rolling hills of Valle d'Itria, where panoramic views sweep across Puglia's countryside from its elevated position near the white village of Ostuni. This traditional stone masseria accommodates up to eighteen guests within nine uniquely designed bedroom suites, offering an exclusive retreat surrounded by over 11,000 square metres of gardens and ancient olive trees—a sustainably renovated property that showcases traditional Apulian craftsmanship with stone façades and vaulted ceilings.
Ideally positioned in the heart of the Apulian countryside, the villa balances seclusion with convenient access to the region's treasures. Brindisi Airport lies just 45 minutes away, whilst the baroque jewel of Lecce, a UNESCO World Heritage site, sits 8 kilometres distant. The fortified town of Acaya is practically on the doorstep at 1 kilometre, and the WWF nature reserve "Le Cesine" lies 6 kilometres away for nature enthusiasts. The stunning Adriatic beaches are 8 kilometres from the property, whilst the baroque town of Nardò (20 kilometres) and the charming coastal town of Otranto (20 kilometres), with its historic castle and seaside views, offer perfect day trip destinations. The villa's location within vast olive groves ensures complete privacy and tranquillity, enhanced by historic features including a 16th-century colonnade and rare underground olive presses that speak to centuries of agricultural tradition.
The interiors showcase high-quality furnishings in earthy tones with sumptuous fabrics and antique elements, creating spaces that honour the building's heritage whilst providing contemporary comfort. Stone façades and vaulted ceilings reflect authentic Apulian architecture, whilst modern amenities include renewable energy systems throughout. Each of the nine bedroom suites features either Super King or King-sized beds, private entrances, and contemporary ensuite bathrooms—designed to offer both independence and luxury.
Outside, the infinity swimming pool commands the hilltop position, allowing guests to float whilst gazing across olive groves that stretch towards the horizon. Wellness facilities include a sauna and hot tub strategically positioned to overlook these ancient trees. The terraced gardens, home to over 100 venerable olive trees, also feature pomegranate trees and native herbs including sage, rosemary, and lavender that perfume the evening air. An outdoor kitchen facilitates al fresco dining and entertaining, whilst the expansive grounds provide numerous quiet corners for reading, contemplation, or simply absorbing the peaceful Apulian countryside. Personalised concierge services assist with arranging wine tastings at local vineyards, exploring the Valle d'Itria's distinctive trulli houses, or curating bespoke experiences throughout this authentic region.
