- Cisternino 5min drive
We’re delighted to have found this romantic stone villa close to atmospheric Cisternino in the heart of the Valle d’Itria. Imaginatively restored by its artistic owner, La Lamia’s restful interiors feel both stylish and characterful and outside, sweeping views of the Puglian countryside are the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life.
This intimate one-bedroom villa is an inviting option for couples seeking a magical retreat à deux and offers an unusually large garden for a property of its size, with lovely pool, plenty of comfortable seating and a barbecue area.
And although evenings here are magical, the allure of Cisternino is equally appealing with its pretty backstreets, picturesque piazzas and fine selection of restaurants and bars. Just five minutes away by car, it’s well-worth joining the locals for an evening promenade before indulging in the rustic local fare for which the region is celebrated.
The other historic towns of the Valle d’Itria are close by including UNESCO-listed Alberobello, famed for its astonishing selection of trulli. Further afield the clifftop towns of the Adriatic Coast and beach clubs of Capitolo are all within easy reach but wherever you go in this beguiling region, you’ll be met by the same warmth and friendliness that make the Puglian people such a joy to be around. A stay at La Lamia offers a chance to relax and unwind at the heart of Trullo country, with the promise of the freshest fish and finest wine never far away.

Puglia covers a large area so you could spend a lot of time driving and we definitely relaxed more at the nearer beaches in the second week. The local people were, however, so friendly that even when we got lost they insisted on us following them to the right route! There is plenty to do - you choose. And the occasional problems - such as gas cylinder running out - were very quickly sorted by Nicolo the local rep who was always available whatever the time! The food was simple yet delicious. Having used our loyalty points for an enhanced hamper was indeed a bonus - Thank-you
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.
