The closest sites of interest are Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Ostuni, the so-called white city, the caves of Castellana Grotte, the Valle d’ Itria area with its “trulli” of Alberobello (The most beautiful villages in Italy), Locorotondo, Cisternino, Martina Franca, and so on. Just one hour driving away you can easily reach Matera, the ‘city of caves and sassi’. The accommodation can accommodate up to 8 people (4 double rooms - no twins bed available). The staff will be available for any needs and 24/7. Idyllically located on the outskirts of Valle d’Itria, Masseria della Croce is an ancient traditional farmhouse that dates back to the XVII century. Despite its storied
history, it has been stunningly renovated into a luxury 4 comfortable suites villa that enjoys its own private estate.
The main entrance takes you into a grand hallway, where vaulted ceilings, immaculate masonry work and timeless antique furnishings set the tone for the rest of the house. The villa offers 4 stunning bedrooms, one of which has a Jacuzzi bath. The large living room includes an original fireplace, grand piano and satellite TV. There is a dining room, study and a fully equipped kitchen. All rooms overlook the courtyard that enjoys furnished outside areas, beautifully landscaped gardens and a marvellous swimming pool. The villa is arranged around a central walled courtyard and large fragrant garden. It is privately enclosed with a gated entrance and high stonewalls. It offers an internal private parking, guarded and secured day and night by cameras. There are 3 hectares of cultivated land and beautiful Apulian gardens surrounding the villa with a lovely stone courtyard in the centre. Privately enclosed with a gated entrance, the views spread out over the nearby oak and olive groves. The swimming pool is impressive with plenty of outside living areas including a long shaded wine pergola, perfect for alfresco dining. In the courtyard there is also a stone wood-burning oven perfect for pizzas and a little fitness area by the pool with a sauna. 

Despite the presence of Wi-Fi, the connection, as it is not fibre-optic, will be slower than with urban networks.
