Description

VILLA AURORA is a beautiful retreat set in the heart of Puglia located in the countryside of Ostuni in one of the loveliest valleys in the Valle d'Itria wine region, close to many nice beaches. It sleeps 15 people, with the option of sleeping up to 17 for an additional charge, and is fabulous for much smaller groups too.

It is set in an idyllic tranquil location for total relaxation, yet less than a 10 minute drive to the historical towns of Ostuni, the famous "White City", Ceglie Messapica and Cisternino, where there are an abundance of great restaurants serving the freshest local produce and great Puglian wines.

The VILLA, APARTMENT & TRULLO have all been beautifully and comfortably furnished throughout. All 7 BEDROOMS are tastefully decorated with good quality comfortable beds. It has lots of large windows and doors to enjoy the beautiful views from whilst inside, making it light, airy and spacious. There are 4 LARGE TERRACES plus 3 LARGE COVERED VERANDAS to sit, eat and relax. The ROOF TERRACE is truly amazing with the real "WOW" factor! All this surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, an olive grove and a wonderful HEATED SWIMMING POOL. In low season or for late bookings we are prepared to rent the villa out separately.

THE VILLA IS ON TWO LEVELS:-

The UPPER LEVEL has a large LOUNGE with LG OLED 55" smart TV, Sky satellite system, DVD player, B & O bluetooth speaker, sofas, armchairs and two sets of french doors - one leading out to the FRONT TERRACE and the other to a large covered VERANDA with 2 sofas, dining tables and chairs. The lounge is open plan and leads through to a fully equipped KITCHEN with air conditioning, which cools both the lounge and kitchen. There is a large dining table and chairs with french doors leading out to the covered VERANDA where it is a delight to eat. The MASTER BEDROOM has a chaise to sit and peacefully relax, with glass doors leading out to another covered VERANDA with 2 steamer armchairs overlooking the beautiful swimming pool. There is a further DOUBLE BEDROOM and a spacious FAMILY BATHROOM. Both bedrooms have air conditioning. DESK AREA and a marble staircase leading to the lower level of the Villa.

The LOWER LEVEL OF THE VILLA has 3 BEDROOMS - a very large FAMILY BEDROOM, ONE DOUBLE AND ONE TWIN. ALL 3 bedrooms HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. TWO BATHROOMS with walk in showers. The DINING AREA looks out onto the garden where the entire wall is heat reflective glass panels and doors. This has a spectacular glass dining table with chairs all around, the base of the table being the root of an ancient tree. Next to it is a gold chesterfield sofa. This leads into a MASSIVE LOUNGE with a full size Riley snooker table, 3 sofas, 2 wing armchairs, antique opium bed, Google Home Max Smart Speaker, Sony 65" Smart TV with Sky satellite system and DVD player. KITCHEN with a large stone breakfast bar, bar stools, American style fridge/freezer, microwave/oven, 6 burner hob, cooker hood and double sink. LAUNDRY ROOM with supersize washing machine, iron, ironing board, deep porcelain sink and fridge/freezer.

The SELF CONTAINED SUITE/APARTMENT is very spacious. Whilst being part of the Villa it has the benefit of having its own front door, giving the guests staying total privacy. It has a large BEDROOM with air conditioning and wonderful views overlooking the swimming pool and a spacious BATHROOM. There is a well equipped KITCHEN/DINER/LOUNGE with dining table, 6 chairs, sofa, TV and DVD player. From here there are french doors leading out to the FRONT TERRACE where there is a table and chairs to sit and enjoy breakfast, have lunch and drinks.

The villa and apartment can be centrally heated in the cooler months for an additional charge for the gas (LPG) consumed.

The TRULLO is unique to this part of Italy and is 300 years old. It has been fully restored, tastefully providing all the comforts anyone would desire. It has the added benefit of being right next to the villa and consists of a KITCHEN, BEDROOM, BATHROOM and LOUNGE with sofa, table, chairs, TV & DVD player. The walls are over a metre thick, making it cool in the hot summer months. It has air conditioning which can also provide heating for the cooler months of the year.

There are 7 bedrooms in total sleeping 15 people, plus cot and highchair. Additional cots and highchairs can be provided. To sleep 2 extra people we have additional single beds which can be put into the apartment lounge, family bedroom or lounge in the lower level of the villa for an additional charge of £750 per week for each person staying over and above 15 (17 max allowed). Children aged 12 months and over are included in the number of guests. Charge of £40 per cot per week. These charges are payable on arrival.

There are many areas to eat inside the Villa, plus several lovely different areas outside to sit and relax, both in and out of the sun.

The doors and windows are all double glazed with shutters and insect screens, giving total darkness to all the bedrooms at night, creating the perfect sleeping environment.

There is the MOST INCREDIBLE ROOF TERRACE with a marble staircase leading up to it with sofas, coffee table, dining table, chairs, Weber bbq and extensive lighting for evening entertaining. From the villa's elevated position you have spectacular views across the hills to Ostuni, Ceglie Messapica and Cisternino. Perfect for sitting sipping an aperitif watching the sunset and to have dinner under the stars with the most amazing "WOW" experience, which never goes away.

UNLIMITED Starlink high level Wifi throughout the Villa and the Apartment, even around the swimming pool and on the roof terrace, but excluding the Trullo.

Fully comprehensive Guest Information Books with everything guests need to know.

Property Manager on hand, Italian and fluent English speaking, for our meet and greet service on arrival and to give any assistance which may be required during your stay. Linda is always available to assist too.

A cook can be provided for evening meals for an additional charge, as well as daily cleaning and babysitting.

10 x 8 metre SWIMMING POOL plus large roman steps and advanced salt water chlorine free system (this is not sea water). Poolside shower, 11 high quality sun loungers, 4 super size designer armchairs, 2 sun umbrellas and its own deluxe BATHROOM with walk in shower. Large stone patio all around the pool bordered with lovely lawns and an oak swing hanging from an olive tree. We have a SOLAR POOL COVER for the beginning and end of the season which really does boost the pool's temperature. The pool can be heated for an additional charge.

There is a very large covered DINING AREA BY THE POOL with a stone table and chairs, stone double sink, fridge and built-in bbq. This has full lighting all around, including the swimming pool and the garden.

Leading up from the swimming pool is a natural STONE TERRACE with benches to sit quietly under the ancient olive trees and enjoy looking down at the swimming pool area, statues and the mediterranean gardens around.

There are 2.5 acres of BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED GARDENS consisting of many different interesting individual areas which are an absolute delight and maintained to the very highest standard. Amongst this is a LOVELY LAVENDER GARDEN and an OLIVE GROVE. There are palms, cypress and many other trees. Fig, mulberry, pomegranate and orange trees to pick your own fruit from. Rosemary, thyme, sage, mint and oregano bushes for fresh herbs to cook with.

15 kW 3 Phase electrical supply at the property to handle all of our electrical requirements and to avoid the problems experienced by many other properties in the area who do not have this, hence their electrics will always be tripping. This is a big plus for us and something all travellers must consider when comparing our property with others.

4 SHADED CAR PORTS plus lots of parking areas all around the grounds

ELECTRIC GATES with intercom system leading to a LARGE DRIVEWAY going all around the property

The property is very private and secure with a high fenced dry stone wall around the entire 2.5 acres

Outdoor TABLE TENNIS and TABLE FOOTBALL

Linda and Chris have put the utmost care and attention into every precise detail. It has been furnished as our home, not as a holiday rental property, giving it that warm homely feel, despite its size. We manage the property ourselves and Linda prides herself in giving our guests a first rate very personal service, always being there to assist, which all our 5* reviews testify

The photographs really don't do it justice, it is better than even the photographs portray

In July and August we request check in and check out be on a Saturday unless it is close to the dates and we have availability

Ladies adventure

By Judith M on 26-May-2024

It was very luxurious. Everything was brilliantly appointed. Communication with the owner, the manager and the amazing chef was outstanding. Ottavio the manager greeted us upon arrival. Gave us a tour and informative instructions. Giulia prepared three amazing meals for us. I couldn’t say which one was my favorite. Everything was so delicious. I have to Say that the fish on Friday before we left was exquisite.

Heaven

By Sam P. on 05-Mar-2024

Our family of 13 (2 grandparents, 3 daughters & husbands, 5 grandchildren aged 5 to 12) found the beautifully furnished Villa Aurora to be an idyllic home for our holiday. With 4 separate living areas, each with their own bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and living areas, plus lots of large communal areas, each family unit could have its own space, as well as join together as one big group. We all tended to gather in one of the big family-sized kitchens for breakfast, then around the beautiful swimming pool during the day, if not out and about, exploring the beautiful ancient Puglian towns perched on hilltops in all directions. This villa was absolutely perfect for our big family gathering and we enjoyed many heavenly nights eating together on the rooftop terrace. The owners have clearly worked hard to provide all that anyone could want in a wonderful family holiday, and the villa would be just right for many other groups. There is certainly lots to explore and enjoy in this beautiful part of Southern Italy, and we found all the locals friendly and delightfully helpful, even if we couldn''t always exactly understand each other! They would be happy to walk down a street with you, to be sure you found what you were looking for. This is a holiday area enjoyed as much by the Italians themselves as by the relatively few overseas tourists. There is much more than you have time to enjoy in just a week or two, and you will definitely want to return!

Friends get-away

By Cynthia M. on 21-Sep-2023

Our traveling group spent an amazing week in Ostuni at this villa. We spent days traveling around to local towns, afternoons by the wonderful pool, early evenings having wine on the roof top terrace and evening meals on the terrace prepared by the spectacular Giulia and her husband. Accommodations were perfect with enough places for solitude and group laughter. This home was beyond words - clean, extremely well-appointed and magical. A million thanks to Giulia for making dishes my mother used to make and making each meal so very special. Would definitely recommend this lovely villa and hope to revisit someday.

Fabulous time at Villa Aurora!

By Jane C. on 31-Aug-2023

Highly recommend Villa Aurora - what an incredible property! We have stayed at many different villas in Italy and this really does top them all! From the ample, landscaped grounds to the superb pool and every part of the various buildings on site, each is impressive, carefully thought out and impeccably maintained. We were a group of 12 made up of 3 families including children from age 11 - 17. Everyone had plenty of space and lots to do! The games area is an added bonus with table football & ping pong. Lots of outdoor eating areas to enjoy as a large group. The roof terrace is a real gem with a 360 degree view over the whole area. We hired Giulia the chef to cook one evening and everyone absolutely loved this experience and her delicious, locally-sourced food! Boat trip at Polignano a Mare and Tuk Tuk tours of Ostuni where such great fun activities for all ages. The owners provided extensive information of every aspect of the trip, from local restaurants, shops, activities and directions. The whole villa is maintained to a superb standard and allows you to really make the most of this incredible area of Italy with maximum comfort. Outstanding!
