Rent a Villa in Puglia

Villa Mangiamuso

In the same family since it's inception, Villa Mangiamuso is a typical 18th century Masseria, built in a style reflecting the Arab and Moorish influence on the architectural styles  common to Puglia.

The Masseria has been restored to the very highest standard and now features three self contained apartments, one with two double bedrooms and two with one double bedroom. All apartments have their own dining room and cooking facilities, refrigerator, cutlery and crockery. There is a shared drawing room for all three apartments.

There is a high walled courtyard to the front of the Masseia entry from the long drive through two huge original arched wooden doors. From the courtyard there are entrances to the masseria, a stunning high vaulted stable and further vaulted rooms to the ground floor level of the property. The 3 apartments are on the first floor level, approached by an imposing double sided stone staircase and balcony.

High walled gardens and the original orangery lead off from the courtyard.

Situated amongst the endless olive groves of this part of the coastal plain, Villa Mangiamuso is only a couple of minutes from the charming small port of Villanova. Here there are numerous beaches stretching north and south of the port. During high season, June through September, there are a number of good restaurants here.

The beautiful and vibrant town of Ostuni, the "White Ship" is only 5 to 10 minutes drive inland, with the equally interesting though very different towns of Cisternino, Ceglie Messapico, Martina Franca and Alberobello all being within close driving distance.
