About this property
Villa Lucertola is a peaceful countryside retreat set among ancient olive groves in the rolling landscapes of Puglia. Designed in traditional Apulian stone and surrounded by nature, this elegant villa offers a relaxed setting for families or friends looking to enjoy the slower rhythms of southern Italy while remaining within easy reach of the Adriatic coast and the whitewashed town of Ostuni.
The interiors combine rustic character with modern comfort. Soft, neutral tones, natural materials and bright living spaces create a calm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the home. The open living and dining areas provide a sociable hub for gathering together, while the well equipped kitchen makes preparing leisurely holiday meals a pleasure. Comfortable bedrooms offer restful spaces to unwind after days spent exploring the surrounding countryside or nearby beaches.
Outside, Villa Lucertola truly comes into its own. The private swimming pool sits at the heart of the grounds, framed by sun loungers and shaded terraces where guests can relax in the warm Puglian sunshine. Mature gardens, fragrant Mediterranean plants and centuries old olive trees create a tranquil setting that feels wonderfully private.
Long summer evenings are best spent dining outdoors on the terrace, enjoying local produce and regional wines as the sun sets over the surrounding countryside. The peaceful setting invites slow mornings by the pool and relaxed afternoons beneath the shade of the pergola.
Perfectly positioned for exploring the region, Villa Lucertola offers easy access to the historic streets of Ostuni, the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea and the charming villages that define this beautiful corner of southern Italy.
Surrounded by the peaceful countryside of Puglia, Villa Lucertola enjoys a tranquil setting just a short drive from the region’s most iconic towns and beaches. Located close to the historic hilltop town of Ostuni, often known as the “White City”, guests can easily explore its maze of narrow streets, sun-bleached buildings and lively piazzas filled with cafés, restaurants and artisan shops.
The Adriatic coastline is also within easy reach, offering a choice of beautiful sandy beaches and rocky coves with crystal clear waters. Beach clubs and relaxed seaside restaurants make it easy to spend a full day by the sea, enjoying fresh seafood and the laid-back rhythm of coastal life. The nearby shoreline is dotted with charming fishing villages and scenic stretches of coastline that are perfect for swimming, sunbathing and long seaside walks.
This part of Puglia is also known for its olive groves, historic masserie and picturesque countryside roads that wind between traditional stone walls and fields of ancient trees. Exploring by car allows visitors to discover some of the region’s most atmospheric towns, including Martina Franca, Locorotondo and the famous trulli houses of Alberobello.
For food lovers, the surrounding area offers countless opportunities to enjoy authentic Apulian cuisine. Local markets, family run trattorias and countryside restaurants showcase the region’s simple but flavourful dishes, from handmade pasta and fresh vegetables to locally produced olive oil and regional wines
