Overview
Surrounded by olive trees and Mediterranean flora, Pietra Di Fuoco is a wonderful two-bedroom holiday home in the Carovigno countryside, a short drive to the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve. Just a stone’s throw from Puglia’s beaches and sleepy hilltop villages, the villa is ideally placed for a holiday getting to know the South of Italy.
Characterised by a minimal and refined style, the holiday home is spread over one floor and can sleep up to six guests in comfortable surroundings. Once inside the villa, guests will be greeted by the open plan living area, full of sunlight and furnished with comfort in mind, and the equipped kitchen area. If dining al-fresco in nature is more your style, head out to the back patio, where you'll find a large dining table and barbecue. Two air-conditioned bedrooms can be found down the hallway, one furnished with a double bed and the other with twin beds.
The outdoor space at Pietra Di Fuoco is equally impressive, with a large swimming pool and an expansive terrace with comfortable loungers, perfect for relaxing and soaking up the Italian sun. There are also outdoor sofas and shaded spaces for unwinding with a good book and a glass of Italian wine. Or, head up to the roof terrace for panoramic views of the sea and surrounding countryside.
When you need to pop to the shops for essentials or fancy dining out at a nearby restaurant, the small and ancient town of Carovigno is just 8km away by car. Guests can also stroll through the alleys of the famous medieval villages of Ostuni (20km) and Cisternino (35km).
The villa is a 10-minute drive from the nature reserve and beaches of Torre Guaceto, the State Nature Reserve and Marine Protected Area, an oasis rich in biodiversity and Mediterranean scrub. Birdwatching, snorkelling, trekking, cycling, hiking, and walking across the reserve are some of the many activities in the Torre Guaceto area. For the sandy beaches and sun addicted, Torre Guaceto’s beach Punta Penna Grossa is a must for swimming and sunbathing.

Carovigno's historic landmarks, including its castle, churches, and other historic landmarks, are also worth exploring. Tuck into local cuisine in one of the many restaurants and cafes. One of the most popular dishes is ‘orecchiette con le cime di rapa’, a type of pasta with broccoli rapini. Another local favourite is ‘panzerotti’, a deep-fried pastry filled with tomato and mozzarella cheese. Carovigno is also known for its excellent olive oil and wine. Local wineries produce various red and white wines, including the popular Primitivo di Manduria and Negroamaro.
Guests can easily discover nearby attractions like Brindisi (20km), the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Alberobello, famous for its Trulli, and traditional dry stone huts with conical roofs.

Dunes surround the nearby beach of Punta Penna Grossa, and the sea has shallow waters, making it an excellent option for families with children.
