Villa Philemon

Villa Philemon is a charming original Trulli house located near the village of Ostuni, on the sunny south coast of Italy. The villa is a clever combination of the marriage of a traditional home with modern comforts. This one-storey, ninety square metre, detached villa stands as a classic example of a meticulously restored local stone Trulli. The three spacious double bedrooms offer a tranquil retreat for up to six guests, ideal for a family holiday, or a group of friends’ sharing. This rustic villa is set in its own private grounds, set in nature, surrounded by ancient olive groves, with a centrepiece saltwater swimming pool.

Enter the villa, where you will be welcomed by a large, light and airy, open plan living space, with a double set of patio doors, which open out onto the pool terrace and gardens. The seating area has a light, comfortable white sofa and matching armchair, arranged around an open hearth fireplace and facing a flat screen television. The adjacent super spacious kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest SMEG appliances that you will need to cater for your holiday, including an oven, hob, microwave, and fridge freezer. There is a useful preparation island, and a separate breakfast bar with tall stools. A separate service room houses a washing machine, iron, and the electricity box.

Leading off from the living space are three well-appointed double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, bedside cabinets, a wardrobe, and an ensuite shower room equipped with a hand basin, bidet, and WC. Bedrooms two and three offer equally inviting king-size beds, bedside cabinets, wardrobes, and a shared shower room with modern amenities.

The exterior of the villa reflects the tranquillity of the Italian countryside, surrounded by fenced-in grounds populated with olive trees. The private saline and saltwater, step-entry swimming pool is the star of the show. Sun loungers, relaxing chairs, and a cooling down outdoor shower complement the pool area. A shaded veranda hosts a six-seat alfresco dining set and a barbecue, inviting guests to feast alfresco under a Puglian sky.

Facilities at Villa Philemon cater to modern needs, with air conditioning offering both heating and cooling options. Wi-Fi, a safe, and private parking. The added value options to hire baby amenities and request a private chef, or airport transfers can be arranged.
