Villa Serenita is set in one of the most picturesque landscapes in Apulia, close to the towns of Ostuni and Martina Franca and only 40 minutes drive from the closest International Airport, Brindisi.

The whole of central Apulia is renowned for its fine fresh food and wines and the beaches of both the Adriatic and Ionian seas are only 30 minutes drive away.

The owners have very cleverly introduced North African influences to the interior and exterior: the irregularly designed beach pool has infinity aspects over the garden and the pergola covered outside living areas lead seamlessly from the villa to the surrounding landscaped garden.

Apulia enjoys the climate of the Southern Mediterranean but its privileged geographical position between two coastlines ensures that summer temperatures remain comfortable.

The region's varied landscapes of striking natural beauty, its magnificent coastlines boasting sandy beaches to match any in the Mediterranean and wild rocky headlands have forged its reputation as an unbeatable year-round destination for visitors in search of sun, culture, cuisine and lazy living.

Apulia sets itself apart from other better-known parts of Italy in many ways, not least of which is the region's very own trullo. Trulli are cone-shaped dwellings built since the 18th century with immensely thick walls offering protection against the summer sun and whose unique architectural design has been used to stunning effect in the conversion of these ancient dwellings into villas which have become very popular as holiday homes.
