This luxury villa in Puglia with pool incorporates some incredible cutting edge 21st century technology, some of which is almost mind blowing in its ingenuity. For example, the blinds on all the windows move automatically so that on cooler days, they let the sunshine in to warm the interior whilst on hot sunny days, they close without you needing to touch them to keep the warmth out. A separate system makes sure that there is always clean air in the house, bringing fresh air in from the outside and taking the dirty air back out, all without making a difference to the internal temperature. Internal lighting is controlled by clever wall panels and solar panels on the roof provide all the hot water that the house needs. A weather station positioned on the roof of the house controls a lot of this technology and there is also an unbelievable system of computers kept behind closed doors in the basement.

The interior of this luxury villa in Puglia with pool is beautiful. It is modern, contemporary and stylish throughout and, with all the rooms on one floor, it's a great option for those with young children or for the elderly or infirm.

Cream sofas provide a relaxing place to sit and large sliding doors lead to the outdoor terrace and pool area. Moving through the house, there is a beautiful dining area equipped with a large dining table and contemporary white chairs.

The gardens at this luxury villa in Puglia with pool are just as impressive as the interior of the house. There is a heated swimming pool which can be used in the Winter as well as the Summer months.
