About the host
Hosted by James Pembroke
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).
