With its gleaming white walls, ancient olive trees and striking cube construction, this fabulous new villa reminds you that Italy’s spectacular deep south is actually closer to Greece than Rome. The interiors, however, are 100% Italian. From the bright contemporary artworks to the glossy statement dining table, owner Roberto has created a unique and stylish retreat for one or two families or a group of friends looking for a little luxury in the glorious Puglian countryside. The entire house is superbly well equipped yet tastefully restrained, putting a modern polish on traditional local style to create a seductively laid-back escape.
Sun-blessed and beautifully secluded, Tenuta Fonte feels like the essence of summer, with lots of outdoor social spaces for cooking, eating and lounging. It’s the perfect fly-and-flop villa for anyone needing to decompress in peace and privacy, just a few kilometres from the warm Adriatic at Torre Canne and the trendy beach clubs of Capitolo a little further north. Nearby Ostuni is one of the literal high points of the region, dramatically elevated, steeped in history and whitewashed to photogenic perfection. It’s easy to get delightfully lost in its narrow backstreets and stairways, but there’s always an enticing little bar or trattoria to pop into whilst you find your bearings once again. Conveniently placed between Ostuni and the sea, Tenuta Fonte puts you at the heart of this superlative region for a stress-free break with everything you need within close to hand.

Simply stunning in every way . Thank you Simpson travel for a fantastic experience. The villa was so beautiful, complete luxury we will definitely return.
We had the most blissful week – grown up family plus their partners. The villa is absolutely wonderful, incredibly comfortable and with every mod-con you could ever wish for. The location was fantastic, within very easy reach of Ostuni, Monopoli, Locorontondo, Alberobello, Cisternino, Martina Franca and Polignano a Mare – all of which we visited and thought were amazing. It’s very close to the coast too, with its public beaches and great beach clubs. Tenuta Fonte was an oasis of beauty and tranquillity and just the most perfect place to come back to, with its beautiful gardens and large pool. In fact, if you don’t want to, you wouldn’t need to leave the villa as there were so many lovely areas around the villa to sit and relax. Our local rep, Ketty, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, she recommended places to go and see, booked restaurants, taxis, boat trips, and nothing was too much trouble for her. Marina, who came into the villa daily was wonderful and did such a brilliant job. She and her partner also cooked us a meal one night, which was all local specialities and absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend treating yourself to this, and she even taught us to make orecchiette, which was a lot of fun, and of course a lot more difficult than she made it look! There was also a Simpson rep at the airport to greet us and help us, which was an added bonus. I have not used Simpson Travel before and I only wish I had known about them before now, but I will certainly be using them again. I cannot recommend them more highly as a company, and if you wish to explore the beautiful area of Puglia, please consider Tenuta Fonte – you will not find a better villa.
Tenuta Fonte is the most well appointed, comfortable and beautiful villa we have stayed in with Simpson Travel. (And have stayed in several, all of which have been of a high standard.) Ketty the local rep was amazing throughout our week. She responded quickly and efficiently to every question I asked; recommended restaurants and organised a boat trip. The surrounding area has numerous stunning towns to visit all within a 30 minute drive and many beach clubs. We had an amazing week in the villa and will definitely be returning. Thank you ST.
We had a wonderful stay at Tenuta Fonte. An excellent villa for two families travelling together, very well laid out. Amazing gardens and grounds and a perfect outside lounge and dining area.
Fun had by all in this fabulous villa in a perfect location. Marina and Pasquale took great care of us and we can't thank them enough for the cakes to celebrate a birthday and anniversary. Thank you also to Roberto, it was lovely to meet you. We did EVERYTHING!. Had bags of fun with the BBQ and enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by Pasquale and Marina. Thanks to Ketty for all the recommendations, organising restaurants and taxis - all superb. Puglia is beautiful!!
Tenuta Fonte is a stunning villa set in secluded grounds. The gardens and olive trees were beautiful especially when lit up in the evenings. The pool which is salt water was superb for a refreshing dip. We loved sitting on the outdoor sofas in the morning with coffee and in the evening with drinks. Spotlessly clean and lovingly furnished it was hard to leave.
Our choice of Italian properties is diverse, ranging from simple charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal.
To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
There’s a different side of Italy to discover on a holiday in Puglia – the land of the trulli, ancient olive groves and historic towns that take you on a journey from Byzantine to Baroque. And then there are the countless beaches and beach clubs that capture the diversity of this absorbing destination: unspoilt, unpretentious and full of creative flair, where the generosity of the locals is matched by the excellence of its cuisine.
