Location The property is in a very quiet, sunny position, just a 5-minute drive from the small town of Crispiano. It is known as the “Citta delle Cente Masserie” as the area around the town is dotted with old, traditional farm buildings. The town hosts the Carnevale Estivo (summer carnival) in mid-July. The place is alive with floats, music, games, masked groups and festivals based around local food products. Foodies will also enjoy the Mercato della Terra (Earth Market) which takes place in San Simone (10 minutes) on the second Sunday of each month and celebrates the slow food movement.

One of the closest towns is Martina Franca (25 minutes), which is a stunning combination of simple whitewashed local houses, palaces and magnificent Baroque architecture. The town Alberobello (40 minutes) looks like something from a fairytale. It is a town of trulli and slow food restaurants, as well as being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

More sporty guests should head to Val d’Itria cycle route. This runs the length of the valley along the route of an ancient aqueduct. Local tours can be arranged for a day exploring the countryside. For guests keen to get to the coast, some of the nicest beaches are to the west of the industrial port of Taranto.

The closest airport is at Bari, a 1 hour 25-minute drive from the house. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of June 2026 to the 30th of September 2026
