Specchiaruzzo, , House for rent from $259.01 USD

Listing Highlights

This 2-Bed 2-Bath House can accommodate 2 guests for a minimum of 1 night.

One storey summer villa, surprising and innovative architectural choices, making use of the natural light and energetic space. From the wild natural landscape is generated a magnificent panoramic pool, decked by sun umbrellas and loungers, a wide staircase to reach the upper sundeck for a far-reaching perspective of the estate where you can enjoy the views of the boundless skies, and puzzle together the conical buildings that dot the countryside and view the hilltop town of Cisternino. Location From the villa you have a bird’s eye view of the hilltop town of Cisternino, (4 kms) its whitewashed houses and narrow cobbled streets, crammed with a staggering selection of restaurants, bars and curious boutiques. The Villa is a short cycle or walk to the labyrinth of winding country lanes of the surrounding and all-embracing Valle d’Itria. If tempted, a vehicle ride brings you the outlying boroughs towards the baroque town of Martina Franca, the white wine headquarters of Locorotondo, the often overlooked (but please don’t!) Ceglie Messapica and the great ‘White Town’ of Ostuni. There is much to explore further afield, our Guide Michele, suggests visiting the spectacular sights of perhaps the octagonal shaped Castle ‘Castel del Monte’, built by King Frederick the II in the 1300s; Gravina in Puglia where the iconic 007 made his grand leap off the Roman bridge; Matera – a fascinating complex of cave dwellings; the port and riviera of fine restaurants in Trani; the sweeping views and charming old town of Otranto, and one of our favourite cities of all Italy, Lecce, need we say more…

Family & Friends Long Winter weekends, Spring breaks, longer stretches of time in Summer and Autumn to linger; to spend some time in the Villa, is to be sheltered from everything, at any time of the year. A place to think of more genuine pleasures and bring small families and friends together. The Interiors The semi-openair dining room is a natural viewpoint from which to observe one room to another or overlook the elongated poolside.

The Villa has bold, strong lines, highly fucntional with a modern elegance. A practical kitchen, adjacent to the dining room, is well-organised, with large fridge, oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, equipped for fesivities and small company. It connects to the backyard through French double-glazed windows and the breakfast patio. The lounge, that celebrates light and nature, is comfortable and contemporary, furnished with a sofa and smart working corner. A perfect place for curling up with a book after a long day outdoors exploring. Two bedrooms, each with their own private shower room, one accommodating a double bed, the second a french sized double, with soft spirited colouring and cooling fabrics. Desgined for creative simplicity. Exteriors A covered breakfast terrace flanks the dining room, with views over the poolside, not with mentioning the extraordinary back drop created by the white terraced village of Cisternino, in the distance. A grand mixture of great outdoors, BBQ, Al fresco Gazebo and swimming pool. The Villa serves many purposes of a holiday home, but most of all, to promote well-being and relaxation.
