4 bedroom luxury villa near
Adriatic coast, with pool, flexible start dates
This lovely spacious villa
is located under 2 kilometres from the Adriatic
coast, and 3 kilometres from the delightful town
of Polignano. It is built on two levels with
views to the sea from the upper level terrace.
The new kidney-shaped pool is set in ample patio
areas, the land extending to just under a hectare
in total, affording privacy as well as space.
Being so close to the sea the villa offers the
best of both worlds, a relaxing country retreat
and sampling the beaches and seafood restaurants
of the pretty town of Polignano. The villa’s
upper level has four spacious bedrooms, two with
access onto the front terrace overlooking the
pool. A large upper landing area could provide
additional sleeping accommodation if required.
Downstairs there is a large lounge, spacious
indoor dining area and well-fitted kitchen.

ample patio and veranda areas, and ample parking.

The villa lies in
countryside just a couple of kilometres from the
sea and delightful Polignano a Mare, famed for
seafood restaurants. Its fascinating historical
centre, with narrow whitewashed alleyways, sits
on cliffs overlooking the blue Adriatic and
undercut by caves. Just along the coast is
Monopoli, again with an interesting old centre
with churches and cathedral, plus a castle
overlooking the harbour dating from Roman times.
Past Capitolo with its fine sandy beaches, is
Egnazia, with a superb museum and well-excavated
Graceco-Roman town. A few kilometres inland from
the villa in the hills is Concersano, with a
centre dating from Norman times, with a fine
cathedral and abbey. Nearby are the famous caves
of Castellana Grotte, with spectacular limestone
formations. Famed Alberobello, capital of the
trulli, is also nearby, and the towns of Martina
Franca, Locorotondo, Cisternino and Ostuni, known
for their wines and olive oil as well as their
beauty.
The rental
accommodation consists of : A wide
external staircase leads to the main entrance.
Inside the entrance lobby leads to the lounge to
the left and dining room to the right, with
adequate seating in both areas for 8 people. The
kitchen is well-appointed, with a separate
laundry room. Past the downstairs bathroom an
elegant staircase leads the upper area, with a
spacious landing with then a corridor leading to
the bedrooms and bathroom. The main bedrooms have
access to a terrace overlooking the garden and
pool area, and with views toward the sea over the
surrounding countryside. Externally the focus of
attention is a large patio, with outside dining
provision, leading to the sculpted swimming pool.
There is ample parking, both in the designated
two-car port and on the driveway. the gardens are
mostly set to grass. We ask for children to be
supervised at all times given the large garden,
steps and swimming pool, and request no smoking
inside the house.

General: Puglia gets close to 300 days
sunshine a year with the warm weather pretty-much
guaranteed in May and going right through until
the end of September. The hottest months are July
and August but with two seas around the area the
air does not feel too oppressive during these
months. Spring and autumn is glorious- sunny and
warm with wild flowers in abundance. In the main
summer season the towns are filled with
entertainment, with seasons of all sorts of
music, dance and theatre. Add to that religious
festivals and historical pageants and
there’s something going on most of the year.
Visit a cantina to sample the local wines, or
taste the olive oil, and don’t forget the
Puglian culinary specialities ranging from
seafood to healthy vegetarian dishes.
