Surrounded by stunning Apulian countryside, yet just twenty minutes by car from the centre of Monopoli – this quintessential Mediterranean villa offers guests a private slice of serenity from the moment they open the front gate. Upon entering the home, you'll be welcomed by the soothing earthy tones of the home's original features, including tiled stone floors throughout and whitewashed exposed brickwork in the living area. Antique dark wooden furniture and terracotta ornaments complement the character and complete the home's Mediterranean aesthetic with infinite elegance. Leading out to the garden, French doors pave the way to a small terrace featuring day beds by the pool and a shaded chill-out area, which serves as the perfect spot for your morning coffee. Another large pergola offers a second living area, bringing the indoors outside – with a plush corner sofa, outdoor kitchen and dining table that remain shaded from the sun. This luscious corner of the home is a hidden gem that allows guests to relax as they would inside without compromising on losing garden views overlooking the countryside with olive and fruit trees growing all around.
