Le Rose 3 Bedroom Luxury Villa - Puglia, Italy

The five-coned roofline of this family villa rises amid fruit trees and flowering shrubs. Stepped into the slope of a gentle hillside, the house has been cleverly designed to maximise indoor space, while incorporating comfort and character. So sitting areas, in the cool stone cone and under architectural arches, are served by satellite TV and Wifi; a wonderfully rustic kitchen / diner is fully equipped with modern facilities but has the look of a ‘hobbit house’; and three pretty bedrooms, with wrought iron and painted wood furniture, are cooled with air conditioning. A spacious main terrace adds al fresco living space with a curtained dining gazebo and sunny sitting area. And stone stairs lead from here to the lower terrace, where loungers line-up by a lovely pool with refreshing hydro-massage jets. The relaxing tempo could be enhanced with (pre-bookable) cook service, though there is a barbecue in the grounds, and a good variety of local shops and restaurants are a walkable 700 –900metres away. Within the UNESCO World Heritage area, the villa is 3km from Alberobello and 22km from Torre Canne beach.
