OUTSIDE
Immersed as you are in the lush gardens surrounding this villa you would be forgiven for thinking that you were in the middle of the countryside rather than on the edge of town.
Pool: Bordered on one side by the villa and on the others by mature trees the large kidney shaped pool is a haven from the heat and great for an early morning swim or cooling off in the afternoon. The pool measures approximately 15m x 7m and is 1.5m at the shallow end and 2.3m at the deep end. Next to the pool is a pool shower and changing rooms.
Terrace and Veranda: Relax under the shade of the huge veranda that runs on two sides of the villa, or on the large terrace on the upper floor where there are plenty of outdoor seating and occasional tables for your comfort.
The property is surrounded by large manicured gardens and tall mature trees disguising the fact that it is located close to the centre of town. Stroll in the gardens taking in the scents of the flowers and over to the hard court area where you can play ball game such as badminton, tennis, football, etc. The property also has a table tennis table for guest use.
Parking:
There is space for 4 cars next to the villa and a further parking area inside the entrance gate.

Why they chose this property
This property has a very fairy tale feel about it with its turret and crenellated parapet. The grounds are extensive and well maintained and just a few steps out of the gate you are in town with all that it has to offer: centro storico, shops, restaurants, bars and the famous Italian Gelato!
What makes this property unique
Step out the door of this fantastic villa, stroll along the long driveway and through the gates to arrive at the edge of Martina Franca, one of the larger baroque towns in the Valle d'Itria, and famous for it's annual opera festival.
There are very few luxury villas with private pool and large grounds that are within walking distance of a large town. Villa Valeria is one of them.
