Dorata

A perfectly appointed property that complements the rich colours of the Puglian landscape

Dorata is a beautiful, white, modernist villa in its own private spot in the Itria Valley. Look again and you’ll find traditional stone walls and barrel-vaulted ceilings alongside the glass walls and poured concrete floors of this villa for six.

Softened by the stunning Puglian light, as well as by natural materials such as the oak-fronted kitchen cupboards, cool bed linen and floor-to-ceiling curtains, the house is spacious, elegant and comfortable.

Outside is a similar story with shaded sitting and dining spots, a simple outdoor kitchen and sun loungers with pretty parasols. The pool will secure a place on every guest’s Instagram grid for its fabulous deep blue – a perfect match for the Puglian sky and, at 15m, it’s long enough to swim proper lengths in.

There's plenty to do and see away from the villa. Head to the coast and jump into the gin-clear waters of the Adriatic, or go inland and explore the pretty towns and villages that dot this rich southern landscape.

Outside

The house is entirely private, surrounded by a stone wall with olive groves beyond. An electric gate opens onto the drive and there’s parking for several cars. There’s a fabulous pool (15m x 4m) that’s just the right shade of blue, with loungers and parasols on the paved surround. A shaded outdoor kitchen and dining area are opposite, while a shaded lounge area leads out from the indoor kitchen and dining room. It’s hard not to be captivated by the rich Puglian colours of the sky, the trees and the deep red earth, and Dorata allows guests a comfortable front-row seat to this beautiful landscape.

Leisure & Activities

Activities

Dorata is just a short drive from the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve and the crystal-clear water and breathtaking beaches of the Adriatic. There are lots of different beaches to choose from but try Sabbiadoro, with its huge sun loungers, or the Guna Beach Club that serves fabulous local food. You could rent a boat, too. Or head east, instead, to the Ionian coast and its golden sandy beaches - try Murmur Beach. Inland, the towns surrounding the property are worth exploring for their beautiful baroque architecture, the weekly or monthly food and antiques markets and the wide choice of restaurants, bars and shops. This part of Puglia is particularly well known for its wines, especially red and rosé, with grapes such as Primitivo, Negroamaro and Susumaniello. Tastings and tours of vineyards, such as Terre di San Vito, as well as olive groves, are possible. For a round of golf, head to San Domenico, at Savelletri di Fasano (44km).

Specials

We would be delighted to help you plan the details of your stay at Boccadoro in advance. The following are available on request: private chef, regional cooking classes, nanny, driver, boat rental, massage therapist, yoga instructor, personal trainer, and tourist guide. On demand and at extra costs
