About this property

Idyllic olive mill with heated pool, in an olive grove, close to sea and Ostuni

Masseria Il Trappeto is a stunningly restored 17th century olive mill uniquely situated just 1 mile from the historic town of Ostuni, which is set in an an ancient olive grove. It has a heated pool. The Evening Standard described it as 'the perfect place to come for a week with a gang of friends.'

It has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. It has a large outside terrace with a stone table by the pool that seats 14. WIFI

There is also a limonetto, a private party area just 50m from the front door, which has its own outside kitchen, dance floor, table for 18, open fireplace and lemon trees.....

There is also a pergola in the walled garden with sofas and table football close to the large heated swimming pool. We also have a ping pong table.

The property is surrounded by terraces on the first floor with magnificent views of Ostuni and the sea. For cooler times we have underfloor heating and two open fireplaces. There is a flat screen TV and internet connection and a music system (CDs and ipods) for music throughout the ground floor. There is a 60sqm sitting room which has the original olive presses, and a large kitchen, with 3 sinks, a large stone table in front of a working fireplace and an island.

The property is set in a peaceful 10,000 acre olive grove, with trees over 1,000 years old. It is a UNESCO World Heritage sit. Yet, it is a 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk to Ostuni. There are no other occupied buildings within sight.

I am always available to answer any questions you have about the villa, flights and facilities. You can call, text or email me anytime. And we also have an Italian house manager, who speaks fluent English and lives 5 minutes away. He can organise a cook, wine tastings, boat hire and outings.

About the host

In 2005, we started looking for a small villa abroad and by chance we found Masseria Il Trappeto, (IT2578) which was a very large ruin which had not been used since the 1970s. That was a vast restoration project, which was achieved amazingly swiftly by Italian craftsmen. We love the area and the food.

Why they chose this property

We came to Puglia and fell in love with the food, the people, the towns and the climate. The history is fascinating: Greeks, Romans, Ostrogoths, Byzantines, Normans, Swabians, Angevins and Aragonese. As a result, the architecture is extraordinary especially in Ostuni and Lecce. We were looking for a family villa not in need of much restoration. We found a very large two storey ancient olive mill, which had been derelict since the 1970s. Within a year we had totally restored Il Trappeto into a lovely villa while still retaining and enhancing it's strong Pugliese character.
Without the fantastic enthusiasm and skill of the local craftsmen and our brilliant Project Manager Ottavio we could not have completed this vast project.

What makes this property unique

Masseria Il Trappeto is set in an ancient olive grove, and is secluded and private. It has amazing views of the old town of Ostuni and the Adriatic Sea. It is a 25-minute walk or a 5 minute drive up to Ostuni with it's many restaurants, bars and fabulous shopping. It is a 10 minute drive to the beaches and Villanova our nearest charming port with very good fish shops and the best foccacia. Il Trappeto is unique as most large properties in the area are b&b's but we are a private villa with a heated pool and an optional cook. Our villa is wonderful at low season we designed it with that in mind. We have underfloor heating, 2 working fires and piles of books and DVD's; we love it for Christmas, walks on the beaches and out for a long lunch (very reasonable too).
