The Villa in Ostuni

The Saracen Trullo for you vacation in Puglia, dating back to the seventeenth century and recently restored, is made up of a central room with two smaller side alcoves with internal shells, truncated conical, with the limestone ashlar exposed and the floor in "chianche", slabs, of local stone. The three lamias, made more recently, are instead square and rectangular, two of them "embrace" the trullo in order to create, with the covered patio, an open space where, as the day passes, they follow each other, between the large arches in stone blocks, the sunlight and the shadows of the foliage of the ancient olive trees that surround the buildings. The third lamia is separated from the others by the courtyard, paved in limestone, which is dominated in the centre by the presence of an old wheel, also made of natural stone and the remains of an ancient millstone for olives. The last room with direct access from the covered patio is intended for the living room / kitchen, with another bathroom / laundry, also equipped with a shower.

At the rear of the residence, there’s a small relax area between the two old walls in local stone, made up of the old tuff and limestone chippings, expertly carved to transform the site, where once the branches of the olive trees were burned after the annual pruning, in a corner dedicated to meditation and rest surrounded by the Mediterranean scrub.

The villa is immersed in a "little oasis” of greenery and tranquillity: large open spaces, areas for flower gardens with typical plants of the Mediterranean and areas with old, tall trees of the original agricultural structure.
