Masseria San Giovanni - Tenuta Le Masse - Ostuni - Apulia

4 Bedrooms - Swimming Pool

Location and Surrounding Area. Located in one of the most appreciated areas in Southern Italy, just a few kilometers from the marvelous Adriatic coast and out the charming town of Ostuni, this exclusive four-bedroom villa is ideally situated to offer complete privacy and tranquility to its guests, providing a perfect retreat for those who want to explore this diverse region which is home to historic towns, incredible landscapes, excellent food and some of the best beaches in Southern Italy.

In just ten minutes by car, you can easily reach Ostuni, also known as “the white city”. With its ancient cobblestone streets, grand churches and quaint white houses, Ostuni boasts remarkable history that goes back to the Stone Ages. The Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace are especially striking, but there are many other architectural gems to be found, including the old homes of the nobles: you would not be mistaken for thinking that you are actually wandering around a lovely Greek village.

The villa is just a stone’s throw away from Martina Franca, the largest town in the Valle d’Itria. Being in the heart of the valley, Martina Franca is a great base from which to explore this wonderful area, but spend some time exploring its old center, an interesting mix of golden baroque and Greek-like white architecture with many grand palazzi and churches, and a maze of narrow side streets perfect for aimless wandering.

In less than forty minutes by car, you can easily reach the Adriatic coast and Polignano a Mare, one of Apulia’s most picturesque seaside towns. Spectacularly positioned on the Adriatic coast, the town is popular amongst tourists who come to visit its charming historic center and enjoy its unique beaches. Beneath the old town is Cala Porto, a small white pebble beach surrounded by cliffs with clear emerald waters.

In less than an hour by car, you can also reach Alberobello, perhaps the most famous town in the Valle d’Itria due to its typical trulli: the conical rooftops coupled with charming cobblestone alleys and whitewashed houses are a simply magical sight. The old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, consists of a maze of lovely streets and steps lined by trulli. Alberobello is considered a unique and enchanting place, and despite the fact that you may find it a bit touristy, it is definitely worth a visit.

Tenuta Le Masse is 37 km from Brindisi Airport (also known as Salento Airport) and 97 km from Bari Karol Wojtyla International Airport. Ostuni is just 4,1 km from the villa, Cisternino is 20 km, Martina Franca is 28 km, Locorotondo is 30 km, Alberobello is 39 km, Monopoli is 43 km, and Polignano a Mare is 50 km.

The Property. Immersed in a landscape of exceptional beauty characterized by red soil and olive groves, Tenuta Le Masse is the result of a perfect balance between Italian tradition and contemporary style, providing a unique retreat for those seeking complete privacy and pure relaxation in one of the most appreciated areas in Apulia. This magnificent property can accommodate up to eight guests, offering four double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom spread across two modern structures surrounding a trullo, a traditional Apulian dry stone hut-shaped building.

Surrounded by olive groves and immersed in a land of eight hectares, the villa boats a magnificent infinity swimming pool and a spacious poolside area equipped with comfortable sun loungers to bask in the sun: offering a peaceful atmosphere, this exceptional paved area beside the pool represents the perfect place for enjoying wonderful moments of relaxation in the company of a good book and a glass of prosecco. The garden also features an exclusive outdoor kitchen, and a generous al fresco dining and lounge area under a pergola where guests can intimately spend time together while enjoying traditional Italian food and unforgettable sunsets.

Accessed by the garden, the interior living space is uniquely furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs offering plenty of seating, while large windows create a luminous and airy atmosphere dominated by light colors. Linear, technological and functional in its minimalism, the spacious fully-equipped kitchen boasts a rigorous and modern design, while ceilings and walls made from a volcanic stone called tuff give the dining room a warm and traditional look. The rustic-meets-modern vibe continues in the four bedrooms of the villa, which feature en-suite bathroom with shower and a warm atmosphere.

The villa also features a service bathroom at the guests’ disposal to ensure the most comfortable stay. Wi-Fi Internet connection throughout the villa, air conditioning and heating make this property complete and perfect for even the most demanding international guests.
