Overview
Villetta Amabile is a delightful home where a couple or a small family can get to know the heart of Puglia. From your base at this charming villa, enveloped by olive groves, you can easily visit nearby towns, historic attractions and amazing beaches.
The villa is set on one level and has an open plan living and dining room with a double sofa bed, a dining table and a TV. This room opens onto the beautifully landscaped garden, so you can pop outside onto the terrace to sip your morning coffee as you listen to the birds in the trees. Adjoining the living space, there is a suitably equipped kitchenette for cooking light meals, or maybe you would prefer to fire up the barbecue and dine al-fresco.
When settling in for the night, there is one spacious bedroom with a rather tempting jacuzzi. If you are travelling with your children, the sofa bed in the living area can sleep two further guests.
Outdoors, the excellent design details continue, and you will find yourself on a chic, covered terrace with a dining table and comfy outdoor sofas. With such a great climate, you are bound to spend lots of time out here, and if you get a little hot during the heat of the day, you can cool down with a dip in the private pool, which overlooks the stunning tree-filled fields around the home.
Although you are set within serene farmland and olive groves, the villa is not isolated, and you do not need to drive for a long time to reach the closest amenities. You can find a good selection of eateries, shops and supermarkets in the village of Pezze di Greco, 2.5km away and even more shops, restaurants and lots of cultural attractions in the town of Fasano, only 5km away by car.
When you wish to go out for the day, you will be spoiled for choice by the staggering array of beaches and towns just a short drive away. The closest beach is Torre Canne which is 10km away and is a lovely sandy beach. You can visit the ancient seaside town of Monopoli which has some gorgeous beaches and an impressive castle which you can visit. Monopoli is 20km away from the villa. Just next door to Monopoli is the famous town of Polignano a Mare, 28km away. This vibrant coastal town has some of the best beaches in the whole region, an atmospheric old town, and some terrific bars and restaurants, so you should definitely pay the town a visit while staying at Villetta Amabile.
What you should know…
- This little country home is the perfect place for a couple to enjoy a romantic break, although there is space for two children when using the sofa bed.
- As the house is located amidst fields and olive groves, it is recommended you bring a car to explore more of Puglia.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villetta AmabileYou will find Villetta Amabile, just 10km inland from Puglia’s beautiful coastline and nestled in lush farmland. This quaint masseria is an idyllic place for a relaxing break where you can walk in the surrounding hills, visit nearby villages and spend the day unwinding on the sweeping sandy beaches.
The closest amenities to the villa are just 2.5km away in a village called Pezze di Greco. In the village, you can find a range of restaurants, shops and a supermarket which are handy to have so close to home.
Puglia has breathtaking beaches, and the closest are around 10km from the villa. Torre Canne Beach is a great choice for a day of relaxation with soft sand and clear water. The beach is also located next to a lighthouse and a lively harbour. Plenty of other beaches are dotted along this stretch of coastline, from rugged coves to hidden swimming spots, so there is something to suit everyone, no matter which beach you like. While staying at Villetta Amabile, you are also well-placed for a day trip to the popular seaside town of Polignano a Mare, which is 28km away by car and is home to some incredible beaches.
If you would like to visit a larger town, then Fasano is only 5km away. Fasano has Roman origins but was taken over by the Knights of Malta in the 15th century, before decades of battles with the Turks. This dramatic history can be seen in the diverse architecture and exhibitions in local museums and at several fantastic archaeological sites. Some of these archaeological sites include the Museo Archeologico Di Egnazia, with vast ruins and Parco Rupestre Lama d'Antico, which is home to an amazing village of cave dwellings which you can wander around. These staggering homes are filled with frescoes, carvings and vaults. Both of these sites are set a few kilometres outside of Fasano town. Back in the centre of Fasano, you can explore the charming old town on foot with ease; the ancient narrow lanes are lined with cafes, shops and restaurants and lead to bustling piazzas where you can visit museums and historic churches. In the summer months, you can join in with community festivals and watch parades such as a medieval festival where the locals dress in period costumes and enjoy dances and competitions in the town squares.
Another lovely place to visit for the day is Locorotondo which is 14km away. This pretty hillside town is a wonderful place to visit to see some of Puglia’s famous cone-shaped Trulli buildings, and it is less busy than nearby Alberobello. Locorotondo is a gorgeous town built around its central church. Here you can take a leisurely stroll around the town and the surrounding hills, looking at the ancient gateways and floral displays. The town is also a fabulous place to stop for lunch because you can find authentic, family-run trattorias here for a tasty meal.
Although many visitors head to Puglia for its beaches and beautiful towns, the region is also packed with natural attractions such as the magical Grotte di Castellana. This incredible cave system is a must-visit location which is only 28km away from the villa. Here you can head into 90-million-year-old caves with a local guide who can point out stalactites, stalagmites, fossils and rock formations.

Every single aspect was a 10/10!
I couldn’t possibly say enough about our stay at Villetta Amabile. Every single aspect was a 10/10, from the amenities to the proximity of the location. In fact, the home was so beautiful that we opted out of two nights of dinner reservations just to spend more time by the magic of the pool and lights. We cooked at home quite a bit, which was made even more special by all of the fresh produce the owner Lucy brought up. I would be remiss to not mention the world class olive oil made right there on the property - we ended up packing two liters home with us. I’m blown away. I have a hard time believing we’ll have another stay of this quality any time soon.

What a dream
The most magical place between the olive trees - everything was absolutely perfect. The owner was so responsive and incredibly attentive to every detail. The villa was immaculate - clean and inviting with everything you could need for your stay (and more... the basket of goodies from their farm, including fresh olive oil!), and was the perfect home base for day trips to Ostuni, Polignano a mare, Monopoli, Alberobello, and more. What a dream. We cannot wait to be back.

Didn’t want to come home!
Didn’t want to come home! Thank you to the owner and her family for creating this piece of paradise set amongst the olive trees! What a perfect place to spend my birthday week. Despite a delayed flight meaning we didn’t get to the property until 1am Lucy and her family stayed up for us to welcome us! The villa is first class and the surrounding area is peaceful and private making it the ideal spot to unwind and relax. The family clearly take pride and ensure bins are emptied, pool is clean and grill clean everyday when you aren’t looking to protect your privacy at all times. Lucy provides so much local information so you can tailor your stay with the best restaurant recommendations. On my birthday they even left me a bottle of local, sparkling wine which was incredibly kind. I would return in a heartbeat.

Paradisiacal
We immediately felt at home and were also surprised with the delicacies from the owner's garden. The pool and garden are paradisiacal and invite you to spend the day here. The location of the villa is perfect to explore the surrounding area. You can reach in a short time the popular beaches and places of interest such as Ostuni, Alberobello, Monopoli and Polignano a Mare. Lucy is very hospitable and takes great care of the guests.

The house is simply fabulous
The house is simply fabulous, beautifully situated in the middle of old olive trees. Here you can simply relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle. The pool is fantastic. Everything is lovingly cared for. There is a good grill. You can tell that it is important to the owner that her guests feel comfortable. She gives helpful recommendations and is always available. Simply super friendly hostess. We would book this country house again. Everything corresponded exactly to our expectations. Monopoli, Pogliano a Mare, Ostuni, Alberobello, Martina Franca can all be reached quickly by car. Lecce and Gallipoli are also within reach.

The Villa is fantastic
The Villa is fantastic. The pool is great. Location was quiet and peaceful and so relaxing. The owner was a great host. Met us at the property, always available if required. Even booked the restaurant for us, for our anniversary. Loved all the amnesties, especially the outside shower, and the hammock!!! Just the best place to relax. Would thoroughly recommend.
-
Wow! What an amazing villa
Wow! What an amazing villa, it exceeded all expectations and was truly a magical setting to relax and enjoy the beauty of Apuglia. Easy 10/10. The owner was very responsive, accommodating and friendly — a great host that made our stay one to never forget!
-
Very much recommend!
Undoubtedly one of the best spots to stay in Puglia. An outstanding host always ready to provide good tips about the region. They received us with a basket of tasty vegetables from their own farm. A priceless experience if you are looking for a good mix in your trip between a calm "masseria" in the beautiful countryside in Puglia that is still very close to most of the beaches (15 minutes away by car). Very much recommended!
-
We loved our stay!
We really loved our stay here! The house has everything you need and is close to the most beautiful places of Puglia. Also, the host and her family are really kind and were very helpful during our stay! We would definitely recommend this to others.
-
Wonderful stay
Very cute little house in the middle of picturesque olive groves. Easy access to travel in Puglia and very sweet hosts who have a functioning farm on the property. They are a very sweet family and we enjoyed getting to know their farm. Hosts very accommodating in making our stay as comfortable as possible.
-
Everything we needed and more!
We couldn’t recommend this high enough! My husband and I had a fantastic time staying in the villa. It has everything we needed for our stay and everything was super tidy and clean. The host is fantastic and super responsive to any questions we had. The produce they kindly offered us was so good too. Thank you so much! We hope to be back one day :)

Thank you for having us!
We had the most amazing time at Villetta Amabile which makes it really hard to even put into words how wonderful everything was. The house is located in the middle of olive trees and I couldn‘t imagine a better place to switch off from everyday life. Everything is even more beautiful than in the pictures and the jacuzzi and the outdoor shower were a real game-changer! (The water pressure was the best I ever had in an accommodation I’ve stayed at in Italy!) The house is very well decorated and equipped with everything you need (hair dryer, shower gels, iron, travel guides, coffee, tea, some biscuits for a little breakfast) during your stay. Upon our arrival the host gifted us the most amazing homegrown veggies, self-made Tarelli and Olive Oil (Somehow everything tastes better in Puglia!). The host even had chilled apperitivo, water and ice cubes waiting for us in the fridge/ freezer when we arrived.
We enjoyed everyday to the fullest, having drinks on the terrace while watching the sunset. The whole property was very clean and the parking super convenient for those exploring Puglia by rental cars. The check-in and check-out times were very flexible as we could always communicate via whatsapp which was very convenient as well as being able to reach her at all times when we would face any kind of difficulties around our stay. Even though you feel like living in the middle of nothing at Villetta Amabile, supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations and bakeries are only a few minutes car drive away. Other than that it is the perfect location to explore gems like Polignano a Mare, Monopoli and Locorotondo (all 20-30 minutes by car). Thank you for having us! We wouldn’t hesitate a second to come again. -
Heaven on earth!!
Villetta Amabile is the heaven on earth!! The host provides you with every little detail and even more than you need at Villetta Amabile. Everything is new, super clean, so much love to details and you will not be missing anything! Perfect pool, outdoor and indoor areas. Thank you so much again! We will definitely come back :)
