This striking villa is set in a breath taking location, with dramatic views over the rolling hills of the Itria Valley and its vast stretches of olive grove and Mediterranean scrub. The villa is located in the heart of the Itria Valley, close to the beautiful historic towns such as Ostuni, Alberobello, Martina Franca, Ceglie Messapica and Cisternino. The quaint Trulli hamlet of Pascarosa is a two-minute walk away, with a pizzeria in the small square by the old stone church, a lovely pool side bar and gardens open to the public, and a further restaurant - all within easy walking distance from the villa. There is also a small convenience store/bar and petrol station just a short drive away. This architect-designed villa is of recent construction and was built using traditional techniques and local craftsmen. It boasts tufo vaulted ceilings and local stone floors throughout. A large and shady veranda to relax under, with exceptional views over the valley and pool area, leads to an airy and bright open-plan living room and kitchen area. The kitchen âislandâ and the hand-painted kitchen tiles give a modern and Mediterranean feel to the space. Leading off the living area are four double bedrooms, two of which have ensuite-bathrooms with shower. All four bedrooms have French windows leading out onto their own private pergolas with seating area to enjoy a moment of calm; two of these have views over the pool and valley. There is a spacious third bathroom with bathtub and shower. The roof terrace is accessible via a large stone staircase to the side of the house - the perfect place to enjoy the sunset, practice yoga or enjoy a few sundowners! Its stunning private pool with infinity-edge, and framed by dry-stone walling, is unusually large for this area (75 square metre). It has exceptional and unique views over the olive groves. A spacious wood pergola offers a shady space for relaxing and eating outdoors whilst overlooking the pool and the countryside. The large sundeck, pool-side pergola and veranda are all clad with beautiful local stone paving. The villa is set in a hectare of land, a mix of olive grove and Mediterranean scrub, giving much privacy both to the house and the outdoor areas. The entrance has a spacious shaded car park. The house has gas central heating, air-conditioning, alarm system, and all amenities one would expect from this quality of property. All furniture is included in the price.
