About this property

Modern 4 Bedroom Villa, with private pool, set within secluded Olive Groves

VILLA ULIVO, or the Villa of Olive Trees, takes its name from its location, being nestled within nearly 2 acres of its own private olive groves, famous within this region of Italy. With its own private swimming pool.

Set back from a quiet road, behind a private gate and down its own private drive, it is located under 30minutes drive from the modern Brindisi airport, and an hour from Bari. Although the villa is believed to date back to the 1930's it has recently been completely remodelled, creating a wonderfully versatile, spacious, modern and stylish property.

With four double bedrooms and three shower-rooms, air-conditioning throughout, it very comfortably sleeps up to eight adults. In addition to the modern, well-built and well-appointed kitchen, it also has a generous lounge that opens out directly onto the 40 ft terrace overlooking the pool, and BBQ - fantastic for al fresco dining in the summer!

There is also a large pagoda below the pool area where you can enjoy views across the land. A private massage under the pagoda can also be arranged at your convenience by the villas local visiting masseuse. (payable locally).

The villa also has a private chef available to cook for you at the villa, or you can enjoy a cookery lesson outside in the outdoor kitchen for a local charge.

As Puglia's popularity has grown to be all year destination we have recently installed modern gas central heating as well as an open functioning fire place, which means the villa can be enjoyed all year around, whatever the weather.

For the more active and working with the local stales horse riding can be arranged on site and further afield, again payable locally.

Villa Ulivo is only 3 kilometers from an area known as Torre Guaceto and its location in a nature reserve makes it one of the best beaches in the Puglia region. The towns of Carovigno, Ostuni are within an easy ride and are renowned for their culinary excellence.

This is comtemporary living in True Italy!

Fabulous week in Puglia!
We have just returned from a fabulous week in Puglia. Villa Ulivo was the perfect base in which to explore this lovely region. Very close to the likes of Ostuni, Brindisi as well as the beach and a nature reserve! The villa itself is beautiful and stylish. We were met by Antonio who manages the villa and he was extremely hospitable, kind and professional. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he clearly takes great pride in his work in managing the villa, which we found to be extremely comfortable – a real tranquil haven to retreat after a busy days site seeing. The kitchen is well equipped and modern, we found the four bedrooms very spacious and the large lounge enjoys a fabulous view over the grounds and olive trees beyond. We even managed a BBQ during a stay which was lovely this time of year. A couple of evenings it was a little chilli – so the villas central heating system was welcome and very effective. The owners have clearly invested in the property given the condition and we appreciated the little touches like the welcome basket on arrival. We would whole heartily recommend Puglia and without doubt Villa Ulivo as the perfect base to enjoy this fabulous region! We can’t wait to come back to Villa Ulivo and Puglia.

Disappointing
The villa was unfortunately not at all what we expected and certainly not as reflected in the website photos. It has clearly once been beautiful and I am confident that with a little love and care it could be so again but this is certainly not the case currently. On entering the villa there is a terrible smell of sewage, which we discovered was due to the toilet in the small bathroom not being sealed correctly. This meant the bathroom was unusable and left us with only 2 for 5 people. The inside walls need re-painting and a number of things need fixing or replacing - the door to the pool bedroom does not close, the main bathroom shower tray is cracked as are some of the tiles which provides a breeding ground for germs, the bathroom mirror is rusted as is the broken bin. The sofa in the living room was very worn and had tears in the leather. All of the towels provided were old and faded. The kitchen was modern with new appliances and very well equipped. Regarding the outside of the property, the villa looks tired and needs repainting. The garden/pool furniture was very old and worn - two of the sun loungers were badly torn with age so were unusable which left us with only 4 for 5 people. The bed under the pergola was dirty and damp, as were the chairs by the outdoor cinema screen. When we reported these problems to the owner, Russell, he was very responsive and said that he would look into it. He also covered the cost of our meal on the first night, which was appreciated. Antonio, the property manager, was very helpful in trying to sort out some of the problems and even arranged for his wife to prepare a traditional Puglia meal on our first night to make up for the private chef not being available. He also came to our rescue quickly when we were without hot water and heating for the first 24 hours. The heating remained not working for the duration of our stay so on the chilly evenings we had to use the air conditioning units to warm the rooms slightly. The bedrooms would benefit from some duvets or extra blankets for this purpose. I don't like leaving negative reviews but feel obligated to share our experience so anyone considering booking this villa in the future is aware of the problems we encountered.

What a treat!
A lovely house, with a fantastic pool, for a great holiday! We spent two weeks here in August. The house is well equipped, - with plenty of the things you need to cook, BBQ, relax and entertain yourself on holiday. The setting is fantastically private - the only person we met anywhere near the house was a local farmer asking if he could harvest some carob pods from under the tree! And it is well laid out, so that you can choose to be in the full sun by the pool, or use the verandah at the back of the house which provides deep shade and comfortable seating all day. The house is very well located. Only 10 minutes drive to a lovely supermarket with beautiful fresh veg, meat and fish. Also 10 mins drive in the other direction to local beaches and towns for pizza and gelato. The local manager Antonio couldn't do enough to help us. One day we experienced a huge electrical storm that blew the hob in the kitchen out of service. He had replaced it less than 48hrs later! Thank you so much for having us, and highly recommend it to others looking for a base as they enjoy this region.

Loved it!
My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at Villa Ulivo - it’s beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s so easy to get around and explore all regions of Puglia - Ostuni is a 20 minute drive up and it only took us around an hour and 30 minutes to get to the southern region. Russell is friendly, responsive and very accommodating. Although we very much enjoyed exploring Puglia, we had a great time lounging by the pool, having barbecues and enjoying the sunset at the villa! I would definitely stay here again :)

The proud father of a young family, I enjoy nothing more then splashing around in the pool with my daughter, as my wife leisurely reads from a sunbed (avoiding the odd splash for our 4 year old) on the pool side, before enjoying the view (and a glass of wine) from the terrace ahead of heading out for dinner in a local restaurant

Why they chose this property

Tranquility, space, modern facilities. the villa is set a beautiful and authentic part of the world, which makes you feel miles away from the busy modern day, yet the villas facilities, (including wifi, sky TV, outdoor kitchen, pool), and services are second to none - including on site horse riding, cookery lessons and private chef, as well as a private message on site (all bookable locally and subject to a fee)

What makes this property unique

Outdoor kitchen, 2 acres of Olive Groves, spacious modern, large pagoda, fantastic curation of services including personal chef, massage and horse riding all available at the villa (payable locally)
