Villa Location

Villa Claudia is located in the countryside surrounded by olive groves, yet only a 10 minutes' drive from popular Ostuni. Explore its narrow streets winding through white washed houses, opening into piazzas with traditional cafes and restaurants. You'll also be within 25 minutes' drive of the picturesque coast where you can soak up the spectacular views. The historical towns of Ceglie Messapica and Carovigno are both a 10 minutes' drive away, home to some fantastic places to eat and a chance to experience Pugliese life.

Location features

Local markets and shopping

The nearest supermarket is less than 10 minutes' drive away for your holiday essentials. There is a market on the edge of Ostuni on Saturday mornings selling plenty of locally produced fruit and vegetables, olive oil plus clothes, shoes, bags and ceramics. Or, in the centre of town there are plenty of shops for picking up souvenirs. In the opposite direction is Ceglie Messapica where there is a weekly market held on a Saturday. You'll find everything from fresh fruit, vegetables and local produce to clothing and souvenirs - so why not stock up for a BBQ back at the villa? Only 15 minutes' drive from the villa.

Bars and restaurants

There is plenty of authentic Puglian cuisine for you to sample from traditional restaurants and cafes to delicious gelato parlours in Ostuni, so you won't have to spend your holiday cooking. Why not taste an Italian espresso or enjoy a good glass of Puglian wine and fresh local dishes using home-grown ingredients? Alternatively, Cisternino and Martina Franca are the best options for local meat dishes and, if you take a trip to the former, you must try the barbecuing butchers. Whilst here, select the meats of your choice then take a seat whilst it's cooked then served to you at your table with various accompaniments - simply delicious!

Beaches

The Adriatic coast offers a great number of beautiful beaches to choose from such as Costa Merlata, Quarto di Monte and Torre Pozzelle. They range from simple coves with bathing platforms and a sandy beach to clubs with onsite restaurants. So, you can relax in style!

Family fun

The Acquapark Egnazia close to Monopoli and Zoosafari Fasanolandia, a safari park and theme park, are both within 45 minutes' drive from the villa. Acquapark Egnazia not only has slides for all ages but sports activities including five-a-side football, basketball and volleyball.

Places of interest

Ostuni's historic centre features lots of churches and has a long history, but the 15th century Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral dominates the town, with a facade sporting an impressive 24-rays rose window. Also, in the main square, the Piazza della Liberta, you cannot miss the tall Baroque style column with the statue of Saint Oronzo at the top who protected the town in the 18th century. An annual festival is held to celebrate him.

Further afield, the town of Alberobello, famous for conical-roofed houses (trulli) is a great place to wander around with its little shops selling local produce and a few nice cafes. Alternatively, visit the Baroque city of Lecce and its historic centre full of extravagant architecture. Perhaps visit the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre and churches like the Basilica di Santa Croce. Both Alberobello and Lecce are within 1 hours' drive.

Golf

The nearest course is San Domenica Golf in Fasano, 40 minutes away.

Other activities

For kite enthusiasts, Lido Bosco Verde is the perfect place, with a long beach and Mediterranean scrub. And after the hard work, a bar and restaurant can help you reenergise. Another option is a visit to the Grotte di Castellana, one of the natural wonders of Puglia which are almost 2 miles long, where you can undertake a tour around the caves lasting for around 2 hours.

Remember...

Every villa comes with its own manual, complete with details of the best restaurants, taxis, local amenities and activities. And of course, our reps are on hand to make sure you love your holiday more. If you need any advice or tips on the local area, they will be more than happy to help.
