Overview
Villa Recitano is a newly built home located in Puglia in the South of Italy; Puglia is known for its expanses of Mediterranean coastline, pretty whitewashed towns and wide open countryside. This modern villa is close to lovely beaches and 6km from the nearest large town, making it ideally placed for a holiday.
Villa Recitano is a stylish, relaxing home set out over three floors. The main living spaces are open plan, allowing for evenings spent together over a meal or playing board games. In this area, there is a large dining table, comfortable sofas and a modern kitchen. Downstairs there is another living room and a small kitchen which can be utilised by those staying in the two bedrooms in this part of the house; this set up is perfect for if two families or groups of friends are sharing as it offers privacy if needed.
The bedrooms of the villa are cosy and well-decorated, perfect for retreating to after a long day in the sun. The house has five bedrooms, including a master suite with a roof terrace and en-suite bathroom.
Due to its setting outside of the town centre, the house sits in a spacious plot filled with lawned areas, patios and rich planting with fruit trees and herbs. The focal point of the garden is, of course, the large pool which has a shallow area and also hydro massage jets. The poolside sun loungers, outdoor kitchen and al-fresco dining areas mean you can enjoy the garden well into the evening and eat outdoors as the sun sets.
Villa Recitano is ideally located for visiting the beach and the nearest is just 1km away. The local beach has fine white sand and the clear Adriatic Sea for you to enjoy, it has also been awarded Blue Flag status so you can be assured of a clean and stunning beach on your doorstep. This beach is just one of dozens which can be easily accessed from the villa including small pebbled coves, beaches offering water sports and rugged natural beaches with limestone cliffs.
When you need to buy some ingredients to cook up an Italian feast or if you would rather eat out, there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. The eateries and small shops along the seafront are within walking distance of the villa and the larger town of Monopoli is located a mere 6km away. Monopoli is a pretty medieval town filled with historic monuments and buildings alongside modern shops and restaurants and is great to have nearby.
If you want to explore more of Puglia’s culture and history then head to the city of Lecce which is just over an hour away and is filled with stunning Baroque architecture including the Castle of Charles V.

The villa is located 6km away from the busy centre of Monopoli, yet is also on the edge of a quieter residential area with a selection of restaurants and shops. Many of the eateries are on the seafront and offer amazing views. This area is renowned for its seafood, especially the squid, so this could be a good place to try it!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesPuglia is like the ideal playground for children; it is surrounded by coastline and beaches which kids will love visiting and there are plenty of natural sites, museums, caves, castles and archaeological attractions for children to explore in this area. Less busy than Tuscany but equally beautiful, Puglia is a great place to take kids.
There are several beaches nearby where children can paddle in the sea and make sandcastles all day long before heading to a beachside restaurant for a delicious pizza, with so many beaches and places to shop and eat close to the villa you are able to spend many lazy days making memories without going very far.
Of course, there will be days when the kids need to burn off some energy, and this location is great for outdoor activities; nearby you will find cycling, trekking, horse riding lessons, water sports and even swimming with dolphins!
One of Puglia’s best-loved attractions is just 25 minutes away by car and is a magical experience to have with children. This is the Grotte di Castellana which is a breath-taking cave system formed nearly 100 million years ago! Children and adults alike will be taken aback by the incredible stalactites, fossils, caves and caverns which can be seen along the 3km route and is a truly unique experience.
