Description Lamia Del Bosco: Ostuni

Set just a few minute's drive from the postcard-perfect towns and famous beaches of the Itria Valley – you're never far from the bustle at this newly-renovated Lamia home. Not that you'd know it hunkered down in the private grounds of this villa. Fringed by over two acres of century-old olive groves, the seclusion and privacy are on another level. Made for al fresco living, the entertaining and dining spaces are impressive outside – as is the small spa with a Turkish bath tucked away in a renovated trulli. Inside, the interiors are bang up to date, with en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom. Add in those beautifully restored dry-stone walls and barrel vault ceilings, and you can see why this place caught our eye.
