Home description
This is a beautiful newly built villa in its own grounds made with local stone and with beautiful “trullo style” arched ceilings. Situated 4km from the lively and characterful town of Cisternino and set in the wonderful Puglian countryside dotted with olive groves. The property has a very large open plan lounge and kitchen dining area, three bedrooms (one master bedroom with en suite bathroom), one double bedroom and one twin bedroom and second bathroom. The house has an outdoor terrace, garden and has garden furniture with outdoor dining area to enjoy the views. The circular pool is 1.5m deep. The property is approximately 14 km from the coast and there are beaches and a coastal nature reserve at Torre Guaceto to enjoy. The pretty hillside towns of Cisternino (4km) and Ostuni (10km) both have historic centres and great local osteria where you can enjoy the Puglian cuisine and wines very inexpensively.

The Puglia/Molise region
Apulia is a traditional Italian holiday area with a great reputation for its local cuisine. Eating out is a wonderful experience at the characterful "Osteria" in all the surrounding historic towns (especially the antipasti). Food and drink is much cheaper than the UK.
Other places to visit include Castel del Monte, a Swabian castle listed by UNESCO and built in 13th century with good views and situated near Bari. It has been restored and you can visit the inside. Egnazia - These are the ancient roman ruins of the town dating back to the 6th century which are situated on the coast, south of Monopoli. Trulli villages of Alberobello & Locorotondo These villages are a bit touristy but you will be able to see over a thousand trullo, cone shaped houses and a trullo church, all in one place. Head west from Ostuni and they are about a 20-25 min drive away. Parco Nazionale dei Gargano. If you feel like a long drive and some beautiful scenery then we would recommend this area which is about a 2-3 hr drive north from Ostuni. It is full of pine covered slopes and sandy coves. It is directly north of Bari and the best beach area is the little fishing port of Peschici on its north coast.
Ostuni / Cisternino area
Things to do: There are lots of things to do in Puglia. The beautiful town of Cisternino is only 5 mins away with great views. Ostuni is perched on a hill 10km away with an old historic centre with very old cathedral and central plaza. Fasano - is lovely little old town with a pretty central square and a safari zoo for children Lecce - a beautiful historic city with an old historic centre and beautiful churches and little curiosity shops and great delicatessen ( an hour’s drive). This has a market on Friday mornings.
Martina Franca - another lovely town with a historic centre about 12km away (15-20 mins) – lots of little boutiques. This has a very famous music festival in July and early August. Gallipoli - a coastal town with a beautiful harbour (just over an hour’s drive away) Otranto - this is quite a touristy seaside town but has a lovely old centre and great walk along the harbour walls with lots of sea view restaurants.
Monopoli - this is an unspoilt little walled, historic town right on the coast with a lovely little sandy beach, high castle walls and a reasonably priced fish restaurant overlooking the coast just south of the town. Just head up the A379 in direction of Bari and you will come to it.
Polignano a Mare - another lovely little unspoilt walled town right on the coast.
The villa is a 15 minute drive from the coast and 4km from the nearest historic town of Cisternino. The nearest beach is Torre Canne and the coastal nature reserve of Torre Guaceto is about 18km away with footpaths and secluded beaches.
