Nearby you can visit the dunes, marshes and rocky coastline of Torre Guaceto nature reserve, go horse riding through the hills, visit a range of incredible beaches and go wine tasting all under 10km away! Plus, if you have any keen golfers with you then make sure to visit the superb Savelletri golf courses which are 30km from the villa.
Another natural attraction which is well worth the 63km drive is Grotte di Castellana. This stunning 90-million-year-old cave system is a must see, it covers over 3000 metres and is filled with fossils, stalactites, stalagmites and magical rock formations.

When you wish to visit a historic town or village, you will be spoilt for choice as there are so many in this area. The nearest town to the villa is a small historic town called Carovigno which is just 6km away. Settled since pre-Roman times, the town is filled with interesting architecture and buildings from a number of different eras. The castle which dominates the landscape is a great place to start, you can explore at your own pace or take a guided tour if you would like.
Additionally, the town has a cathedral, medieval arches and palm lined piazzas to wander around. Carovigno is also known as the town of flags so you may stumble across performances or parades of locals in costumes waving colourful flags, this religious practice has been going on in the area for 1000 years in devotion to Madonna del Belvedere. A few kms from town you can also visit a sanctuary in a cave also dedicated to her, a hidden gem with much revered fresco paintings of the Virgin Mary.
Just 13km from the villa you can visit the city of Ostuni, one of Italy’s most beautiful places. This awe-inspiring white-washed city is incredible to see as you approach it and is just as picturesque when exploring the winding streets on foot. The historic walls wrap around the old town and contain plenty of bars, restaurants and pretty churches including the amazing Gothic cathedral which is the star attraction. Further attractions include a brilliant archaeological park, the civic museum and medieval gateways. Taking a guided walking tour is a good way to see everything and learn more about the area.
