Description
Part of a beautiful country resort close to the iconic ‘white’ city of Ostuni is Villa Anfora, a spacious and family-friendly holiday home. Surrounded by olive trees and lush countryside, this villa offers idyllic views within a relaxed and tranquil setting. The interior features traditional flooring and vaulted stone ceilings for a charming, authentic feel throughout.
There’s a private garden to soak up the peaceful atmosphere as you lie back on a pool-side lounger and listen to the sounds of nature. Also enjoy long walks within the grounds to discover the area’s natural beauty. There’s even the chance to meet the resident donkey and horse!
The main living area is found in a bright and air-conditioned veranda with direct garden access via patio doors. A comfortable sofa and armchairs are positioned around the television for unwinding after enjoying a meal at the adjacent dining table for four. The fully-equipped kitchen comes with every appliance and convenience you could need. A laundry room with washing machine is external to the villa. There are two double bedrooms and one single bedroom at Villa Anfora, with one having its own ensuite bathroom. There’s also a well-appointed family bathroom for the use of all guests.
Within the lawned garden is a private swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and a variety of typical Mediterranean plants. The views from the pool across the countryside are incredibly picturesque. Rest in the shade of a leafy tree before enjoying an al fresco meal on the dining patio with built-in barbecue, stone oven and table for six.
The city of Ostuni is less than a 15-minute drive from the villa, with the coastline and its stunning beaches a further 10 minutes away. Take in the lush, olive grove-dotted landscapes of Parco Dune Costiere by car, bike or on foot - all the way to the beach. Here you can relax on immaculate sands and swim in the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Also within easy reach is the wider Valle d'Itria area, which is characterised by traditional trulli, ancient towns and rolling hills. Perfect for an unforgettable day trip is the city of Lecce, with its wealth of baroque architecture and culture.
***For larger parties it is possible rent sister properties Casa Azzurra (sleeps 10-12), Casale Pratelli (sleeps 4) and Trullo Joel (sleeps 4) on the same estate - please follow links for more information.
