Terraquieta

The property’s impeccable design perfectly showcases the magical light and colours of the Puglian landscape

Terraquieta is an irresistible mix of traditional and contemporary architecture, polished by exquisite design, sitting in a tranquil and private spot in this ancient landscape.

The main villa is built of local stone and houses three double bedrooms as well as the living and dining room, and the kitchen. With doors to the garden on either side of the building and steps up to the roof, guests can pick between sun and shade throughout the day. The traditional four-cone trulli houses the principal suite, with a double bed in a niche and room for a further guest on a single bed, along with a shower room, living space and kitchenette.

The design is perfectly executed using local, natural materials and a soft, mostly monochrome palette. The Puglian light is justly famous and the colours of the landscape deep and rich, both celebrated by the layout of Terraquieta, inside and out.

An infinity pool with improbably lovely views has a shaded dining table and outdoor kitchen next to it and you’d be forgiven for spending your days going from yellow-cushioned sunlounger, to pool, to dining in the shade, on repeat.

However, the property is just ten minutes west of Ostuni and not much further from Cisterno and Ceglie Messapica, three of the white towns of the Itria Valley, and with easy access to the coast you will want to take the time to explore this beguiling area deep in Italy’s heel.

Rooms description

Bedrooms

The property can sleep up to nine guests in four double rooms. There are three double bedrooms in the main villa while the principal suite is in the trullo and includes a double bed in a niche and a single bed, also in a niche, a sitting room with a kitchenette that’s ideal for making coffee, with a fridge for fresh drinks, and a shower room. All four bedrooms are simply decorated with cool white linens, and all have air conditioning and heating.

Bathrooms

There are three shower rooms – one in the trullo and two in the main villa – that are simply decorated with high-quality fixtures and fittings. There’s also an outdoor shower by the pool.

Kitchen

The well-equipped separate kitchen is brand new, yet designed along traditional Puglian lines with built-in, open shelving. There is an outdoor kitchen next to the pool with a BBQ and a dining table for ten inlaid with locally made black ceramic tiles, under the shade of a veranda.

Living rooms

The living room and dining room take up the central space of the villa with a barrel ceiling and doors to the garden on either side of the building. Simply decorated in natural colours and materials with a smooth floor, this is a lovely place out of the heat of the summer sun and with air conditioning, or warmed by an open fire, along with heating, in the cooler months. A wooden dining table seats ten.

Other rooms

There is a separate laundry space.

Outside

Terraquieta sits in quiet seclusion amongst ancient olive groves on stone wall terraces, the white of the buildings contrasting with the rich earthy colours of the landscape. The spacious grounds are laid out to make the most of the view and offer several different outside living spaces in amongst Mediterranean planting that includes almond and fig and other fruit trees. There are two dining terraces: one at the back of the house and one on a lower terrace in front of the outside kitchen. Both have tables made of local black ceramic tiles and offer the best of the sun and shade throughout the day. The pool, meanwhile, has incredible views that you can enjoy from the water or from one of the yellow-cushioned sunloungers or go up the external stairs to the roof to watch the sun set.

Leisure & Activities

Activities

Part of the wonder of Puglia is its crystal-clear sea and a trip to the coast is a must. Just 20 minutes’ drive from the house you’ll find the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve and the breathtaking beaches of the Adriatic. Recommended spots include Sabbiadoro, with its luxury king-size loungers, and the Guna Beach Club that serves delicious local dishes. There’s also Murmur Beach on the Ionian coast. Terraquieta is close to lots of interesting towns and villages with a wide choice of restaurants, bars, shops, antiques markets and stunning Baroque architecture. This part of Puglia is particularly well known for its wines, especially red and rosé, with grapes such as Primitivo, Negroamaro and Susumaniello. There are vineyards - try Terre di San Vito - and olive groves where tastings and tours are possible. For a round of golf, the nearest course is San Domenico, at Savelletri di Fasano, 38km away.
