Originally a Masseria, a fortified farmhouse typical of the Puglia region, Villa Ciottolo has been immaculately transformed into a resort-style holiday retreat. It was once a 4 star luxury hotel and now offers guests the combination of the privacy of a villa holiday while also still offering hotel-like services should the guests so choose to use them. Surrounded by olive groves and gardens in a secluded area just outside the culinary town of Ceglie Messapica, the villa offers complete privacy for a group of up to 18.
Six bedrooms with en suite bathrooms are distributed throughout the main building and annex, built with authentic stone in traditional trulli style. The master is extra cozy, with its own living space, fireplace, and romantic Jacuzzi tub.
The reading room, spacious living area, and TV room are all beautifully furnished and inviting, and the rustic, modernized kitchen is perfectly appointed to host the group.
Ample sunlight will surely draw guests to the expansive sunbathing area with plush sofas and a large pool. It's a great spot for alfresco dining too. there is no better way to end the day than with a quiet drink on the terrace while admiring the impressive and captivating panoramic views. The garden portico is perfect for relaxing to the soothing sounds of chirping birds, and when you want to explore, enjoy complimentary bikes.
