Overview
Experience bucolic peace a few minutes from downtown
A charming retreat in Martina Franca, Villa Sigismonda offers a host of comforts, bringing together tradition and modernity.
Constructed around two trulli, traditional homes of the region, the house contains a large living and dining room with a fireplace and piano, 5 air conditioned bedrooms with storage space, a multimedia room, two living rooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms and a shower room.
Outside, enjoy several well-maintained terraces, a barbecue, a pizza oven, a garden with trees and flowers and, of course, a very large 16x9-m pool.
The very beautiful baroque town of Martina Franca is a few hundred metres away, offering you more than just its cultural attractions - there are plenty of restaurant options, bars, and nightlife. You'll also find that there are some excellent pizzerias near the house, as well as a traditional restaurant. You can reach the sea easily, as the closest beaches are just 15 km away.
About Fanny Kieffer
Hello!
I am an art historian at a French university, and I was particularly interested in the cultural attractions that Apulia has to offer. I confess that I am also vulnerable to the natural charms of the region, its otherworldly coastline and centuries-old olive trees. As something of a connoisseur myself, I appreciate the local cuisine: I never skip on the traditional orecchiette, the sea urchins, and, of course, pastries like the famous zeppole!
Fanny Kieffer purchased this villa in 1970
Why Fanny Kieffer chose Martina Franca
My husband is originally from Italy, and we have maintained a beautiful family home that is an ideal holiday spot for visiting Apulia: indeed, the town of Martina Franca is right in the middle of the region, meaning it's easy to spread out to various of Apulia's natural and cultural sites. Villa Sigismonda is roomy and very comfortable, and is made up of many lounges, libraries, and terraces, making it ideal for a family or group of friends. Moreover, the pool and the external amenities allow you to fully enjoy the region's pleasant climate.
What makes this villa unique
The pool is, without a doubt, one of Villa Sigismonda's strong points: very large (16x9 m) and deep (varying between 1.2 and 3 metres!), it is perfect for a group of friends or a family. There's also the living spaces that have something for everyone: several lounges, well-appointed libraries, a multimedia room with a flatscreen TV, a Hi-Fi stereo system, DVD player, etc. There are several terraces with a barbecue, pizza oven, and arbours where you can relax and recharge. You will also have access to bicycles, another great way to discover the region. To sum up, the house's location, close to the town of Martina Franca but in the calm surroundings of picturesque trulli, give a particular charm to Villa Sigismonda and will allow you to find peace of mind and excellent amenities.

Map
The baroque town centre is very close, and Martina Franca is a town famous for its shops and excellent restaurants.
Alberobello is a few kilometres away, a unique urban centre that has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as it is entirely made up of traditional stone houses called 'Trulli'.
Martina Franca is also known for the Itrian Vally Festival. Created in 1976, it takes place every year during the summer. Operas, especially those that are seldom performed elsewhere, are commonplace, primarily those by French and Italian composers from the 19th century. The presentations are held in the court of honour of the Duke's palace.
