Corte Dei Messapi | Sleeps 24

[Minimum stay: 7 nights]
A very recently constructed property set in the countryside of Ostuni, the Corte dei Messapi consists of the main villa (14 guests), a ‘trullo’ (sleeping 2) and two smaller villas (6 and 2 guests), for a total of 24 bed spaces and four pools. 

 

La Residenza 
8 bedrooms for 16 guests. La Residenza is the ideal solution for families of friends with kids. The main building of the structure, set on two floors, offers guests welcoming spaces and large areas dedicated to relaxation and pleasure, such as the pool and the outdoor playground area with ping-pong tables, slide and climbing wall. 

On the ground floor we find the living area, a large space dedicated to relaxation furnished with comfortable sofas and TV and a wet bar for making drinks or coffee. A hallway leads to the three bedrooms with king-size beds and ensuite with shower, looking out over the courtyard and with large French windows. One of these rooms leads into the fourth bedroom, the largest on the property, again with a large ensuite with shower. 

The first floor houses a large lounge with fireplace and sofas and a dining area with open plan, fully equipped kitchen, furnished entirely in natural wood. The living area with its large windows opens on to the terrace where guests can take dinner or breakfast in the shade of a pergola. From the living room, guests can access the sleeping area, which includes three large bedrooms with ensuite, facing the veranda and with a pleasant view over the garden. 

A fascinating type of accommodation separated from the main building, the Trullo is the ideal choice for a couple looking for a romantic break. It consists of a bedroom with ensuite, a kitchen area and a living room area. The spaces are arranged in alcoves and have been designed down to the last detail. 

 

Il Casalino 
Is situated a short distance from the Residenza and consists of an independent villa with garden and pool. 

The larger villa, which can accommodate up to six persons, consists of two bedrooms on the ground floor and a third on the lower floor, the only one without air conditioning and with only external access (via external staircase), looking out onto the shaded yard. The day area has an open-plan kitchen with a table seating six and a relaxation area with sofa and TV. 

 

La Torretta
La Torretta is a smaller villa, an ideal retreat for a couple, which consists of a bedroom with ensuite, a living area with fireplace and a stone kitchen with purpose-built cupboards. The barrel-vaulted ceiling and soft colours of the furnishings create a traditional, relaxing ambience.
