A fashionably modern take on traditional Puglian life, this luxury villa in Italy is inside/outside living at its best! We like the contrast of the crisp clean lines of the structure (and the unusually shaped pool!) with the peaceful rural setting.
Description
Set amongst a grove of ancient olive trees in the Puglian countryside, this luxury villa in Italy is an architecturally inspired summer retreat combining practical design with subtle touches of luxury.
Designed entirely in white limestone with an abstract oblong shape and geometric lines, the stark architecture of the building is softened by traditional tufa stone walls and the unique indoor outdoor composition.
The open plan living space includes lounge and dining areas and a fully equipped modern kitchen, with slide away glass that opens out to the terraces, gardens and pool, with peaceful uninterrupted rural views. Calming colours and ample natural light provide a sense of tranquility. Leading off the living area is a passage lit by shafts of light from the oblong windows from where you’ll access the two double bedrooms and bathrooms. Each have a spacious feel with sliding glass doors giving direct access to the pool area from the master and space for up to four guests.
The property has plenty of spots among the olive, fig, almond and lemon trees to find shade, relax on the veranda and facilities to cook up a storm in the barbecue area. Up a floating stairway is the roof top terrace; a private sanctuary for sunset dining and night time star gazing.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Welcome pack upon arrival with area guides provided, wifi throughout. Climate control with AC and underfloor heating. Kitchen and bath essentials, laundry facilities. Fenced private parking.
AROUND
Located just outside of the small towns of San Michele Salentino and San Vito dei Normanni at the midpoint of Italy’s heel, the Salento Peninsula region lies between both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas with lovely beaches on either side. The port town of Brindisi (and final stop along the famed Appian Way) lies just a half hour southeast while the stunning baroque city of Lecce, known as the Florence of the South, is within an hour’s drive. The lovely UNESCO port town of Otranto and the Ionian seaside town of Gallipoli are worth a day trip drive. Ostuni, Martina Franca, Alberobello and the Valle d’Itria are all within an hour driving distance.

Five start hotel chic between age-old olive trees. Beautiful, minimalist house with all modern comforts. The swimming pool is magnificent and served us well on hot days.
We found the house a great starting point to explore Puglia with all highlights within easy reach. The contact with the owners as well as the local housekeeper was very friendly and helpful.
We truly enjoyed our two-week stay. Highly recommended.

Design conscious, secluded contemporary villa amidst tranquil olive groves and with a stunning 20 metre infinity pool. Fabulous swimming; perfect for the peace we were seeking; and an uplifting design that makes the most of indoor-outdoor living in deepest southern Italy. We found it an ideal couples retreat; overall a wonderful experience – highly recommended.

The villa is wonderful, peaceful, minimalist style, so pure… the lines are perfect. The seeview with olive trees around the villa…. It’s beautiful. It’s the best location for us. FYI, you have to drive 20 min minimum for any visits. Sandeep is great. We received à Welcome Pack before arriving and he was available to answer to our questions. The contact on place, Filomena, is very professional, reactive and helpful. We had a very high service level during our stay.

Very nice house very well équipped. Very isolated but convenient location to visit both truli villages and lecce on the other side. Please note the house is really tiny : it was just perfect for 2. Would recommand it

Stellar experience. They have thought of nearly everything to make a discerning guest feel at home…but bring your own shampoo and lotion as toiletries provided do not include these. A restorative oasis in the peaceful and serene olive groves…far away from the hustle bustle. ❤️ We also loved how organised and eco conscious the villa life is, bravo!

Villa Ashyana is a wonderful property, literally 5 Star. Very well designed, and updated with the latest technology it is a quiet, relaxing and very private home with views across the olive groves-total relaxation. The pool is also amazing, warm and lid at night. The outside spaces and the roof terrace allow for long lingering lunches and evening meals. The perfect Puglian vacation. Sandeep is a fantastic host and his info package had plenty of information and recommendations which were spot on. We can’t wait to return.
