This is a magnificent luxury Puglia villa rental sleeping up to 24 guests in 12 bedrooms and with not one, but three private pools to enjoy. These include a heated rooftop plunge pool. The decor is simply stunning. This property offers the ultimate in elegant, refinement and luxury for anyone looking for a truly special stay in Italy.

This luxury Puglia villa rental is comprised of a main villa (sleeps 14), a trullo (sleeps 2), and two separate villas (sleeping 6 and 2 respectively). In total there are two swimming pools on the estate as well as a third heated jacuzzi pool on the roof of the main house. Guests have exclusive use of the whole estate and will enjoy complete privacy during their stay.

You enter the grounds of this luxury Puglia villa rental through secure electric gates. Moving through the driveway, you pass through a walled garden up to the beautiful main villa.

Guests enter the property into a large entrance hallway and living area furnished with two sofas. There is a fully stocked bar area here and guests are welcome to help themselves to any drinks which will be charged to your account to be settled on departure. For younger guests there is also a Sony playstation in this room with wall mounted TV.

Three king-sized bedrooms lead from this living area, all with ensuite bathrooms with shower, stone sinks and toilet. Bathrobes and slippers are provided for all guests. All bedrooms on this floor also have patio doors leading to a small courtyard area. The fourth bedroom on this floor is the largest of the sleeping rooms and also boasts a large ensuite shower room. If guests prefer, this room can also be accessed from the outside. All bedrooms are tastefully furnished in a simple but elegant style using natural resources with handmade olive wood designs on the walls. Finally there is a separate WC on this floor.

A flight of stairs leads to the first floor of this luxury Puglia villa rental. This has a large living and dining area with open plan kitchen. This is a well equipped and beautifully designed space with natural wood units, large American style fridge freezer, large stone sink, dishwasher, two electric ovens and five ring gas hob. Windows look out over the gardens. There is a large handmade dining table. The living area has an open fireplace with 50 inch TV around which are arranged comfortable sofas.

Doors lead from the living room to a balcony and covered pergola where there is a large outdoor table seating up to sixteen guests. The canopy provides such welcome shade from the sun during the hot Summer months. For those that enjoy al fresco dining, there is a gas BBQ in this area too.

Two steps lead up from the living room to the remaining three bedrooms in the main villa. Again, these all have kingsized beds and all are exquisitely designed with the same natural feel as the rest of the property. And again, all have ensuite bathrooms with shower and all open up onto a veranda with outdoor seating and views across the pool to the children's play area. There is also a separate WC on this floor. At the end of this corridor is a glass door leading to a herb garden where you are welcome to help yourselves to the homegrown herbs here including basil, thyme and sage.

A separate trullo situated about 75 metres from the main villa sleeps a further two guests. This is a great space for a couple who are part of the travelling group but who wish for a certain degree of privacy. The trullo has a small kitchen area with electric hob, coffee machine and fridge. A cleverly designed table and two chairs is arranged in a small nook. There is also a double bedroom and ensuite bathroom in the trullo. The trullo is a good size and keeps cool even in the peak of the Summer due to the thick stone walls.

Just above this trullo is another trullo which serves as a wine cellar. Guests are welcome to help themselves to the selection of local wine stored here and will simply be charged on departure based on usage.

In the grounds of this luxury Puglia villa rental, sitting below the main property, there are also two other villas. The first villa sleeps six guests and the second sleeps two. Both have air conditioning throughout (with the exception of the bedroom on the lower ground floor of the larger villa).

The smaller villa is ideal for a couple and has a stone kitchen (equipped with gas hob, electric oven and large fridge / freezer), living area, bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The design again makes the most of the natural, local resources on offer and has beautiful barrelled ceilings giving the villa a traditional, modern and spacious feel.

The larger villa has two double bedrooms on the ground floor and a third bedroom on a lower level. This bedroom has access to a small courtyard area offering some welcome shade from the heat of the sun. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms with showers and all are again immaculately presented in neutral tones. There is also an open plan kitchen, dining and living area. A dining table seats six comfortably and there is also a sofa offering more relaxed seating. The kitchen is equipped with dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, oven and hob. There is a TV with satellite channels.

There is plenty to keep the children entertained at this luxury Puglia villa rental. Outside, there is a park area with swings, slide, climbing frame and table tennis, all arranged on immaculately kept lawns. There is also a pool (4m x 11m) near the main villa which has a depth of just 30cm at the shallow end going down to 1.5 metres at the deep end as well as a second heated pool of the same size nearer the smaller villas. However, if they are looking for entertainment away from the sun, inside the main villa there is a large wall mounted TV with playstation that they can enjoy.

There is plenty of space for the grown-ups to relax, as well as plenty of areas to explore including a walled garden and orchard with a variety of fruit trees.

For those that can drag themselves away from this stunning luxury Puglia villa rental, the nearest beaches are only 8 km away and the nearest restaurant for those who enjoy dining out is just 3 km away. The property is also situated just a few miles from Ostuni. Known as the 'White City', Ostuni is a lively town with an excellent range of shops, restaurants and bars. The villa is also perfectly placed to explore the Valle d'Itria and its towns including Alberobello, Cisternino and Locorotondo. We would also recommend driving North to explore the caves at Castellana and the seaside town of Polignano a Mare. Of course, it's also an easy drive down to the South of Puglia from here too where you can visit Otranto and Lecce.
