Villa Artistica

Although guests will find it hard to venture outside this stunning home which has every detail covered, there is so much on offer in the region. Nature lovers will enjoy taking guided hikes through the surrounding hills and woodland, or - with the sea so close by - sailing and diving is always an option.

Villa Artistic is in the “heel” of Italy, in the very heart of Apulia with its beautiful soft light and far-reaching horizons; with the Ionian Sea on one side and the Adriatic on the other, there are miles upon miles of golden beaches. The Valle d’Itria is known as being one of the most beautiful areas of Puglia where the cities of Bari and Brindisi can easily be reached.

The region is known for its olive oil production, as evidenced by the surrounding stretches of olive groves as well as its distinctive white-washed hill towns, centuries-old farmland and hundreds of kilometres of Mediterranean coastline.

The capital Bari is a vibrant port and university town, whilst Lecce is the ‘Florence of the south’ - known for its baroque architecture and “Trulli” - stone huts with cone-shaped roofs that were initially homes; today they can be visited in their preserved form, and provide something of a fairy tale-esque experience for younger members of the group!
