Villa Vallegna sits in the heart of the countryside, near to the resort town of Ostuni, on the south coast of Italy. The nearest international airport is Brindisi, a scenic thirty five minute drive to your holiday home from home. The charming sparkling white town of Ostuni is only a five kilometres away, with its historic centre, narrow streets, convivial squares, and impressive Romanesque cathedral.
The nearest and best beaches are a twenty minute drive to the protected coastal marine area of Torre Guaceto, with dunes and crystal clear waters that are great for swimming; Pilone, with golden sands, and organised clubs; and Rosa Marina, the longest stretch of beach in the area, with public and private sections. Whilst you are there enjoy paddleboarding, wind and kite surfing, or a boat trip along the coast.
Keep fit with a cycle through the countryside, or hike a local trail through olive groves and historic sites. Tee off at the San Domenico Golf Course, or play a game of tennis at the nearby club. Take a tour of the many wineries, and sample a glass of Puglia’s famous Primitivo.
Visit the local villages, or go further afield and head north to the holiday hot spot of Monopoli, or south to the ancient town of Brindisi.
As dusk falls sip cocktails, and wine and dine in the Piazza della Liberta, the main square in Ostuni, then dance until dawn at one of the beach clubs, which transform themselves into lively nightspots.
