This incredible villa in Ostuni was built in 2013 leaning up against a ‘trullo’ (a typical country house of the Region of Puglia in southern Italy). This region of Italy is becoming more and more appreciated for its excellent seaside and beaches, its traditional art and exquisite food.

The gorgeous designer house is surrounded by a zen garden with olive trees and statues, perfect for relaxing and sunbathing. In the garden there are also a parking space, a heated swimming pool, an outside cooking and eating space and a basement area with a gym.

The relaxing outdoor space is undoubtedly the best feature of the house

The entrance of the house opens on to a large lounge with fireplace and dining area, and the modern and fully-equipped, open plan kitchen leads onto the dining room. The three bedrooms on the property all have French windows that open onto the garden. Every room has an en-suite bathroom and spacious walk-in wardrobes.

In terms of design, the house aims to achieve new highs of comfort, while at the same time maintaining a tasteful and sophisticated result. The wooden floors are all in teak, the historical stone comes from the Trani area of Apulia, the fireplace came from an ancient Indian house, while the windows and doors are all of the highest quality available on the market.

What’s more, the total amount of energy required by this house on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site, making this a sustainable, environmentally-friendly house to live in. All in all, this house combines the best of contemporary living and style with ancient wisdom and peace.
