Description
Primavera is a charming villa part of an ancient country house, situated at a short distance from Ostuni and just a few minutes from the sea.
In the middle of a countryside which is outlined by dry–stone walls and dotted by olive trees, it is a suited place to spend a rewarding holiday in contact with nature in an outstandingly interesting tourist region.
The building is made of local stone and fossile tophus (on the walls you can actually see various fossil moulds !).
The reconstruction works have taken care to preserve and enhance the original architecture.
Primavera consists of a dining room with a brickwork kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom.
The furniture has been chosen carefully, paying attention to the details, the rooms are comfortable and cosy, they have been outfitted with hand - made solid wood furniture, wrought iron furnishings, exquisite window treatments.
The original stone wall structure, the niches set in the thick walls, the countryside with olive groves and fruit orchards all around, all re-create the emotion of an ancient and charming way of life.

The Region
This is a land blessed by the sun, plentiful in Nature, Art and History.
You can enjoy the sea or take unusual walks in the quest of caves, cathedrals, castles, rupestrian settlements, nature reserves.
The karsic caves of Castellana, the archaeological sites of Egnazia, Castel del Monte, and Valle d’Itria, the ceramics of Grottaglie, the nature reserve of Torre Guaceto (where migratory birds stop to rest and reproduce), Lecce whose historical
centre is famous for its exquisite baroque, are all fantastic destinations for a one day outing.
The sea is about 15 km away and there are both white, sandy beaches and rocky stony beaches. Some of the beaches are equipped with clubs, and offer facilities, others are public beaches. The crystal blue sea is excellent for snorkeling and diving.

Ostuni
To visit Ostuni, the so-called “Città Bianca”(White City), is an unforgettable experience.
You go up towards the historical centre through a succession of narrow, winding streets made of white houses pressed together, painted windows, arches and steps.
We suggest you take your time along the lanes and around the crafts shops: all of a sudden just around a corner you will behold the overwhelming view of the valley and the sea.
The 15th century cathedral represents a feat of the local stone, it has a splendid facade and an imposing 24 ray rose window.
Music festivals and many typical restaurants and bars where you can listen to live music or savour delicious local dishes brighten the night life. You can find discos along the coast.
The cuisine in this area is genuine and full of inventive. Flavours from the vegetable gharden mix with the aroma of seafood, enhanced by the extraordinary olive oil of this area and accompanied by tasty cheeses, “taralli”, “friselle” and generous, rich wines.
