What sets this house apart from others is the outstanding view of the sea over olive groves, the attractive garden veranda and the stylish yet simple interiors. The spacious garden, quiet courtyard and the generous swimming pool are perfect for outdoor living. Situated between the two historic cities of Ostuni and Carovigno, it is in an ideal location for exploring all the delights of the Puglia area. The house is equipped for relaxing in the shade and eating outside, whether on the roof terrace, the courtyard or veranda. Serious cooking is also possible with a proper selection of pans, utensils and local cook books. There is a BBQ in the garden. Despite the heat in July and August the fact that the house stands at 300m means that there is often a sea breeze. The original two bedrooms are light and airy high vaulted rooms with their own bathrooms and air conditioning. Recently we have added a third room to the side of the house - in the old style - that is used as a third bedroom or a second sitting room.. It has its own bathroom and air conditioning. Santa Caterina is a distinctive and beautiful holiday home that has been restored with a rare appreciation of the simplicity and charm of the original ‘saracen’ trulli. Saracen trulli have the same vaulted interiors as those with the conical roofs but the roof is either domed or flat. Our lovely trulli was improved about 100 years ago by the addition of a more imposing front elevation. In the restoration from a ruin 15 years ago the windows were added and the two trulli joined with a stone arch to create the kitchen/dining area and the sitting room. Since then we have added a further bedroom and bathroom in the local style. All the bedrooms are light and airy high vaulted rooms and have their own shower room with toilet, bidet and sink - all have air conditioning. The kitchen includes a gas hob and electric oven as well as a proper range of saucepans and implements. The crockery is from Grottaglie with a classic local design. There is a designer Italian dining table and chairs in the kitchen - fine for 4 or 5 but the table can easily be altered to take 8 in comfort. The sitting room has a comfortable Danish sofa and plenty of other seats with Moroccan influenced cushions. The veranda has a stone table with large stone benches (and cushions). It is covered to provide shade from the midday sun and is also a perfect place to dine in the warm summer evenings. On the roof terrace there is also a stone sofa as well as a table and chairs – perfect for romantic dining. On the other side there is a quiet courtyard with a curved stone seat framed by bougainvillea. The courtyard also has a dining table and chairs suitable for up to 8 dining. The individually designed swimming pool is entered from large steps from one side (the first being very wide and only a few cm deep for children to play in) and on the other there is a sunken seating area. The pool is 10m x 4m and the depth runs from 1m to 3m. Around the property there are no other buildings close. The garden of the property is large and there is also an orchard adjoining which can be used by residents. The land around is otherwise either olive or almond groves. The track to the property is a dead end with a group of three villas (all owned by one family) further down on the opposite side of the road. There is therefore no traffic danger or noise. Santa Caterina has been carefully designed to create high quality accommodation in a visually stunning setting. N.B. This property is less suitable for small children who cannot swim as the pool is only fenced on one side. Accommodation includes... • Welcome pack which includes enough for a simple supper and breakfast (including two bottles of wine) • Weekly Linen change - beds made for you of course • Linen, Towels and Pool Towels • Electricity, Water, Gas for cooking • Swimming Pool with Loungers • Covered seating area • Second dining area - seating for up to 8 • Barbecue • Television & DVD player \* WiFi - hi speed unlimited included • Bose sound system with Bluetooth • Private Entrance and Parking • Washing and Ironing Facilities Accommodation details... • Master suite double bed and en suite shower room • Second Bedroom with en suite shower room with space for an extra bed. This bed is a narrow single but is suitable for an adult or child. This is NOT a cheap Zbed but a Danish designer creation. The two singles can be made up as a double. • Third bedroom can made up as a sitting room with coffee tables and two large comfortable sofas. This would be done automatically if there were 4 or less occupants. It has its own bathroom with WC, basin and shower enclosure (complete with radio). • All mattresses have memory foam toppers • Kitchen/Dining room with seating for 4 -8 • Kitchen equipped with hob & oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher • Washing machine • Sitting room with comfortable sofa (converts to full size double bed but we do not usually allow more than 7 people + baby), other seating and original fireplace. • Television & DVD player • Sound system • Private parking and gates • Swimming Pool with sun loungers • Hammocks • Covered dining area • Secluded sitting area beside house • Barbecue facilities • Roof terrace with stone sofa as well as table and chairs • Wonderful views from the roof, the pool, the dining area. Children facilities include: • Cot available together with high chair • Car seat (2x) • Buggy • Child's swing • Other useful items including a couple of toys, plastic plate, cutlery and a potty. For the pool safety the gate can be closed but the fence can be circumvented by walking round the other way - out into the car parking area and back across part of the garden, or climbing over the wall around the stone table on the veranda. The other safety point is the roof. The outside staircase is rudimentary and the parapet on the roof fairly low so we do not allow small children up the stairs. There is of course a rope rail so that it is fine for all but toddlers. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

He is very helpful and respond rapidly to every query. The house is beautiful and very well equipped with all you might need. The three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, offer big independent spaces for everyone. The setting is wonderful and the roof top terrace is truly magical. The neighbouring towns are beautiful and there is lots to visit within 1 hour. We would highly recommend. ##### Karine E.

Three good sized bedrooms with private showers and plenty of seating areas outside. There was everything we needed; coffee pot, cooking utensils, sun loungers, towels, toiletries, etc. Beaches, supermarkets and historic towns were easily reached. Monopoli and Lecce were two favourites of ours. Thank you to Edmund and Angelo for the generous welcome pack and for sorting out a problem we had with one of the showers quickly. A lovely property in a beautiful place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele L. 16 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely experience in Puglia This property was perfect for our stay in Ostuni area. The home and amenities are exactly as described, and Edmund was so helpful with directions and information to ensure our time there went smoothly. We loved the outdoor space and the pool. Every evening we would have an aperitif on the rooftop terrace, just so lovely. The kitchen was well equipped, and we cooked some excellent steaks on the outdoor barbeque. The neighborhood was tranquil situated among acres of olive trees. Many nice memories were made. ##### Michele L.

Perfect for a summer getaway where you love outdoors. Pool and facilities are perfect, plenty of lounge chairs and shade, with the sea in the distance. Along country lanes accessing popular Ostuni and divine Carovigno. Lanes are perfect for wondering or riding bikes but alas the bikes offered were unrideable . Hot water on and off but otherwise lovely property. And hopefully will return. ##### Pamela B.

Including a couple of bottles of wine and food on arrival. Very much needed after late late-night journey. The villa itself is down winding lanes in the countryside but that means it is very quiet and you have an amazing view of the sea. Well worth the drive from Ostuni which is still only 10 minutes away and has everything you need for a great holiday. All in all would recommend it! ##### Guy S.

The property really is wonderful and is exactly as described and as the photos show. A very tranquil and relaxing place to spend the days, and evenings. We stayed in and cooked (in the very well equipped kitchen) on a couple of occasions - something we would never normally do on holiday but we found it hard to drag ourselves away on some days! Edmund was extremely helpful at all times and the Welcome Pack was very appreciated and superior to any we have ever received elsewhere! On the days we did leave the villa, we especially liked going to Ostuni which had a lovely atmosphere, both by day and night and was very easy to get to in under 10 mins. It really was a special week and we wouldn't hesitate to return. ##### Frances W.

A haven of peace in the middle of soothing countryside, a beautifully restored house with all the necessary comforts. We raced to get into your gorgeous pool after visiting the various villages and towns around you! :) Thank you Edmond for all your help. Linda, Natacha, Katia, Claire, Erin and Robin ##### linda e.

It is precisely as pictured. While the kitchen is generally well stocked, it’s a bit tight for doing a lot of prep work or making gourmet meals (if that’s your thing). There is however a nice grill, with a great view, outdoors. The owners have put together a fantastic list of resources, suggestions and recommendations for the local area. ##### Kelli B.

A beautiful location. Rural, surrounded by olive groves, narrow roads bordered by rough stone walls. A unique part of Italy, so very different from what I have experienced in the north re atmosphere, temperament, and everyday pace of life. The home has majesty, charm, and paradoxically a hewn-stone high-vaulted intimacy: an aesthetic that was a joy to wake up to every morning. The pool and patio, provided areas of sun and shade, with an Adriatic vista, although our weather in late April to mid-May tended to be rather blustery. The pool will be a joy in warmer months. Beds are quite comfortable, with the luxury of ironed linens. Baths are modern, nicely designed. We did a good deal of cooking, and found the kitchen area, although small, well-equipped, and most serviceable. The villa is an easy 10 minutes by car to either Ostuni or Carovigno. In addition, we enjoyed long walks in the area. In all my considerable VRBO experience, Edmund ranks among the very best VRBO hosts: gracious, congenial, quick to offer advice re what to do in the region, and perhaps most importantly, immediately responsive when there was any sort of unexpected logistical/ technical complication. The communication channels were first-rate. Bottom line: our month at the Ostuni villa was one of great and memorable pleasure. Highly recommended. ##### John O.

A key requirement for us, with 3 young boys, is a good quality pool. The pool is a great size but on the day of our arrival, it was full of hundreds of dead woodlouse and there was no way we could dip a toe in it. To find this on day 1 was a real disappointment. We would have thought that the pool would be cleaned on changeover day. The owner was responsive but told us that the pool will have been cleaned on Saturday at the latest (2 days prior to our arrival). I spent a couple of hours most mornings netting the woodlouse so our boys could swim; due to this, we spent many more days at the beach than we otherwise would have done. The woodlouse were also very apparent within the villa itself and we had to place poison down, particularly in the kitchen area. We are seasoned travellers and to be told that we were 'in the wild' we found somewhat patronising. It was such a shame as the villa is lovely, well-equipped and homely. Ostuni is beautiful, as is Martina Franca, and we thoroughly enjoyed Monticelli beach and it's cool beach club (as adivsed by the owner). Sadly, we will not be returning and obviously cannot give it any sort of recommendation. ##### Colin M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walter B. 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Der Vermieter war äußerst hilfsbereit, wir bekamen jede Menge Tipps und Hilfe, die Beschreibungen waren sehr detailliert.
