About the home

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 3kms 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. Set in front of the villa is a 12m x 6m luxury swimming pool and jacuzzi, diving board and outside solar heated shower.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The kitchen is very well equipped and includes a fridge/freezer, oven, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, kettle and toaster.

There is a full range of cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils. The bathroom was refurbished in 2007 with a new Turkish steam shower, WC and sink. Bedroom 1 has a double bed whilst bedrooms 2 and 3 have twin beds. A cot and highchair are available on request.

The lounge has a two seater sofa, three armchairs, dresser, 20" flat screen TV, DVD player, Playstation 2 and a working open fireplace. All towels, bedding and linen are included. The property is cleaned weekly with all linen and bedding changed.

Further details outdoors:
The villa is set in an acre of private and peaceful countryside. The private swimming pool is 12 x 6m with diving board and jacuzzi. There is also a solar heated shower, sun loungers and parasols for 6 guests as well as two separate dining areas.

The villa also has a wood-fired pizza oven, a family barbecue and a roof terrace with further seating for 6.

Villa Gemelli is located near to many beaches, some with bars and facilities, others with nothing but warm sea and sand. The nearest beach is a 15-20 min drive. It is important to understand that this side of Italy’s coast line offers both small coves and bays as well as long stretches of beach.

The stunning town of Ostuni is 3km away and sits like a white beacon on 3 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.

The average daytime temperatures in July/August are about 32 degrees and a little less in June and September.

With two seas around three sides of the area, the air does not feel too oppressive during the summer months.
With sunshine for most of the year and olive groves which stretch along a beautiful coastline, it boasts one of the cleanest seas in Europe. Italians have long made it their favoured holiday destination and now with more cheap flights from the U.K. it is rapidly becoming a hot destination for gourmet travellers who are looking for something different to the more well known holiday destinations.

Visit oil and wine making Fattorias , see beautiful Greco-Roman cities and mysterious ancient Trulli. Enjoy wonderful local cuisine and rich strong wines which are becoming known throughout Europe.

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.

The 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 both small coves and bays as well as long stretches of beach.

Guestbook for Villa Gemelli

I enjoyed my phone chats with Steve. He and Colleen both have very affable and engaging personalities which I found reassuring and very pleasant. As it happened we did not need to contact them in Italy in any emergency, but knowing that they were 'on hand' and easily approachable was always a comfort. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Gemelli and cannot really fault it.
C Boyd August 2011

We had a fantastic time and have already recommended Villla Gemelli. We really appreciated the local maps and books of the area, as well as the novels -we added to your collection.
