The Puglia/Molise region

Puglia's whitewashed ancient towns rising from acres of silver olive groves, to some make it look more like Greece or even Morrocco than other parts of Italy. But here you can have an authentic experience of southern Italy. The land today is cultivated for it's olives, fruits and vines, as it has been for centuries. Narrow lanes twist through a landscape of ancient olive groves, vineyards, orchards and pastureland. Towns and villages stud this landscape, often upon rocky outcrops. Among the most striking and worth a visit, are nearby Ostuni, Cisternino, Locorotondo, Alberobello and Martina Franca, all have beautiful old cathedrals, churches and ancient houses.

Nearby Grotaglie is the home of ceramics in the region. There are many workshops to visit, located in caves each one having its own style of decorated work. You can buy or browse, it's very relaxed.

For swimming and sunbathing you are spoilt for choice with two coastlines nearby, the Ionian and Adriatic, both with crystal clear water and sandy beaches. The closest and one of the best is Torre Guaceto (19km), a nature reserve, with it's sweeping bay of pale, fine sand and backed by beautiful sand dunes and pine forest. In high season most beaches have facilities where you can rent sun beds and umbrellas; buy drinks and delicious food.

Further afield there are many possibilities for excursions. Among our favourites is the spectacular baroque city of Lecce, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Matera and the beautiful coastal towns of Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Gallipoli, and Otranto.

When planning your days itinerary, It's worth remembering that the siesta is taken seriously in this part of Italy. Most shops, churches and museums (apart from large supermarkets) close for 4 hours at around 1:00pm. As restaurants do stay open, you can use this time as an opportunity for a leisurely long lunch.

The Ostuni area

Ceglie Messapica (4km) is dominated by the medieval castle and is a gastronomic centre. It has a quiete provincial feel, but is home to some of the best restaurants in the area. There is an excellent food market every Saturday morning.
There are also numerous small, very reasonably priced Osteria to discover, tucked away in Ceglie's ancient winding narrow streets. Delicious rustic food is the speciality here, washed down with the local Primitivo or Negroamaro wine.

Nearby Ostuni (10km) is regarded as an architectural jewel, and is commonly referred to as "the White Town" ("La Città Bianca", in Italian) due to its typically white-painted architecture. In the summer months it is a sophisticated tourist destination. The most popular activity here, is to just stroll around watching and greeting people, shopping for souvenirs (olive oil?), occasionally stopping at the numerous cool bars for a drink and then maybe, ending up at an intimate restaurant or outdoor pizzeria for a delicious lunch or dinner.

Ostuni hosts a large local market every Saturday morning (on the edge of town, south west of the center). There is also an antiques market on the second Sunday of every month (In the center, around the park).

You could just lose yourself in the quiet country lanes, or perhaps take a short drive to the coast for a seafood lunch beside the harbour at Villanova, before a swim in the afternoon at Torre Guaceto nature reserve, or the pretty, natural beach at Monticelli, which has a cool laid back beach club.

“Great villa , relaxing location” We booked last minute for a week and received great support and help with that . The villa itself is well laid out with high quality fixtures and fittings and is the perfect venue for a few days chilled relaxation. Outside is a superb pool area and plenty of space to sit and read or dine.
