Set in a converted 18th-century countryside villa, a 10-minute drive from Carovigno and 5km from the nearest town, San Vito dei Normanni, Villa Magnolia offers four spacious en-suite double bedrooms, a private outdoor pool, extensive grounds and an outdoor dining area.
The rooms have high ceilings, some with the unique stone star vaulted detail which is a feature of the area.
They are decorated with antique Italian furnishings in keeping with the 18th-century style.
Original stone details were preserved during renovation and form an integral part of the bathrooms.
Original tiles and stone flooring have been preserved throughout the villa.
Each room has garden views and a bathroom with walk-in shower and a hairdryer.
Bed linen, bath towels and pool towels are provided for your stay. The kitchen is a recent addition, no longer the outside wood fired oven! It has all the equipment to make your stay easy and as enjoyable as possible (dishwasher, washing machine (outside line for sun drying), stove, oven, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle, coffee machine (Nespresso), microwave and other basics.
There is a table and eight seats (two bar stools at counter) in the kitchen if the weather is not ideal but we expect you will want to eat outside and enjoy the gazebo area with BBQ (Weber gas), wood fired pizza oven and seating area under the fig tree and vines. Free WiFi and private parking is available on site.
We have four mountain bikes for your use, if anyone is sporty and wants to do the morning dash for pastries to San Vito dei Normani (5km).
The back gate has direct access to the small roads winding through olive trees and on to a cycling route.
Additional bikes can be rented in San Vito. Popular places to visit from the villa are Ostuni 16km, Lecce 49 km, Alberobello 46 km, Polignano a Mare 65km and Taranto 49 km.
The closest beach is Torre Guaceto, a 15-minute drive from the property.
When we visit Lecce, we like to add on a visit to the beautiful Torre dell'Orso beach (Blue Flag status), 26km south from Lecce.
We park at Parking Belvedere (take a few euro coins to pay attendant - 2023 it was €4) at the southern end of crescent bay, not built up and more natural.
From here it is a short walk to arrive at the viewpoint where you will have fabulous views of the crystal-clear water, soft sand and sea stacks, known as the The two sisters. The nearest airport is Brindisi - Salento Airport, 17 km from the property.
Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport is 100 km away.
Another option is to fly to Naples and then make the 360km journey from the airport to the villa.
This may give you more flexibility on airline carriers as well as give you the opportunity to lengthen your holiday with a visit to Pompeii or Herculaneum. We are happy to give personal tips/guides to our favourite activities in the area.

Hartelijke ontvangst, woonst met alle voorzieningen, ruim terras, groot zwembad met overdekte lounge. Veel feeërieke stadjes en strandjes in de nabijheid. Ideale plek om als uitvalsbasis te gebruiken met een gezin. Zeer bereikbare host!

My family and I spent a wonderful week at the Villa to celebrate my 60th birthday. From the moment Diana greeted us we knew we were in for an incredible week. The quality of all the furniture, fittings, linen and facilities was outstanding. The pool and outdoor entertaining areas are both really special. Overall a real 5 star experience!

The Villa was beautiful. Huge bedrooms and bathrooms which was refreshing. The grounds and pool were spectacular. Communication with host - Diana and property caretakers was very easy. They are all so accommodating and above and beyond. We had a wonderful time and plenty of room for a group.
