Step outside to the estate's natural wonderland, where ancient olive trees and a private forest invite you to meditate and unwind. Wander through fragrant gardens adorned with aromatic plants and fruit trees and find the perfect spot for a picnic on a sunny day. Seasonal organic fruits can be plucked at your leisure, all while gazing upon the picturesque hills and the boundless sea on the horizon. The crowning jewel of the property is the dazzling white swimming pool on the terrace, a true oasis for relaxation.
For a truly unique experience, the property includes an ancient Trulli, a symbol of the Itria Valley's heritage. Lovingly restored by Apulian stonemasons, each cone houses a bedroom, private bathroom, a cosy living room with a fireplace, and a secluded courtyard with a dining table and barbecue.
