Villa Gemelli (villa)

Home description

**Special Late Offer - June available at only £950.00 per week**

Our beautiful 3 bedroom villa is set in an acre of land boasting olive, fig, hazelnut, chestnut and an abundance of fruit trees. The villa is in the quiet and secluded district of Lamacoppa, just 3km from the picturesque hillside town of Ostuni, known locally as the ‘White City’. The villa offers a good level of comfort for up to 6 people whilst retaining the charm and rustic features typical of the area. Outside there is a roof terrace, a covered veranda ideal for eating al-fresco style, a family sized BBQ and a traditional working pizza oven with a further outdoor table and chairs seating 6. The villa has air-conditioning and heating throughout. Newly completed in 2005 and set in-front of the villa is a 12m x 6m luxury swimming pool and jacuzzi, diving board and outside solar heated shower.

The Puglia/Molise region

Puglia, or Apullia as it is sometimes known, is the heel of Italy's boot and is bordered by two seas, the Adriatic to the East and the Ionian to the South. Italy's deep south is little known to foreign visitors but those that do visit are regarded with an unforgettable experience. Uplifting natural beauty and a near tropical sea combine with the strange conical-roofed stone houses, the Trulli, unique to Puglia. The region is a food and wine-lover's paradise, no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to eat badly. A proportion of Italy's fish is caught off the Puglian coast and locally grown fruit and vegetables can be found on many a street corner. In addition Puglia has 23 D.O.C. wine regions, the best know being Salice Salentino.

Ostuni area

The stunning town of Ostuni sits like a white beacon on three hills east of Martina Franca. The seemingly disordered tangle of narrow cobblestone streets recalls a north African Arab medina, an ideal place to get agreeably lost. There are a plethora of restaurants and bars just off the Piazza della Liberta, heading upwards towards the sombre brown stone of the 15th century Gothic Cathedral.

Villa Gemelli is located near to many beaches, some with bars and facilities, others with nothing but warm sea and sand. It is important to understand that this side of Italy’s coast line offers, small coves and bays rather than long stretches of beach.

How to get there

The two nearest airports are Brindisi, a 30 minute drive and Bari, a 75 min drive.
Ryanair fly to both airports from the UK, www.ryanair.com, and BA fly to Bari from Gatwick, www.ba.com.
We would recommend hiring a car for your stay as the nearest town, Ostuni, is only 3km away but is a good 60 min walk. We usually use Hertz via the Ryanair website.
If you do not intend to hire a car there are always local taxis available at the airport or we can arrange for you to collected from the airport.
