Casa Cicerali

ADD TO WISH LIST

Italian Villa with private pool

The white washed simplicity of this Italian holiday villa for four, surrounded by beautiful countryside, creates a stylish and relaxed retreat. Lazy days by the pool or days exploring Puglia’s highlights followed by sundowners on the terrace make for the stuff of dream Italian holidays.

The Location

Set, surrounded by five acres of open countryside, fruit trees and olive groves, close to the village of Cisternino one of the region’s (if not Italy’s) prettiest villages. The house offers seclusion without being remote and whilst attached to another property the house and grounds offer privacy. Venture out and explore the alleyways, piazzas and café culture of ancient Cisternino which also has some superb restaurants.

Ostuni is also nearby which boasts an absolutely beautifully cathedral. Go a little further and there’s the historic city of Brindisi less than an hour away with its waterfront promenades and stunning architecture. Sandy beaches are easily reached for a day on the shores of the bluest of blue Italian seas

Fly to Brindisi or Bari airport each about an hour away, or Naples which is a little further at approximately three hours. A car is essential not just to enjoy this location, but for some of the practicalities of holidaying somewhere this secluded.
