At one end of the gardens, a 40-square-metre infinity pool appears to float above the olive-studded valley, offering a spectacular spot for a refreshing dip or drinking in the mesmerising views. Poolside loungers provide ample space to soak up the Italian sunshine, while the outdoor kitchen and dining areas are perfect for enjoying relaxed al fresco meals.
For those seeking wellness and relaxation, the villa also offers a luxurious outdoor hot tub, perfectly positioned for stargazing, a sauna cabin with stunning views, and an abundance of open space for morning yoga or Pilates sessions.
The villa itself is a masterpiece of traditional Apulian architecture, with ancient stone walls and gracefully vaulted ceilings. A thoughtful renovation has seamlessly blended this historical charm with the highest standards of contemporary design and sustainable luxury. The interiors are a blend of earthy tones, natural materials, and refined elegance, creating a warm and welcoming ambience that invites relaxation.
A cosy lounge and dining area sits above one of the villa’s standout features – the beautiful wine cellar with stone-vaulted ceilings and sedimentary rock walls. The cellar boasts an exclusive selection of over 100 carefully selected wines handpicked by the villa’s sommelier, allowing guests to indulge in wine tastings and enjoy the perfect accompaniments to evening meals.
Through a separate entrance, guests can access the villa’s country kitchen, which is well-equipped for preparing delicious Italian feasts.

About the area
Villa Rocca 1914 is located in the picturesque landscape of Valle d’Itria in Apulia. This enchanting valley, often referred to as the “Trulli Valley,” is renowned for its unique conical-roofed stone dwellings – the iconic trulli – which dot the countryside, lending it an almost fairytale-like quality.
The nearest town, Cisternino, is just 10 minutes’ drive from the villa. It offers an authentic, lived-in atmosphere and a picturesque old town, which is a maze of narrow alleys with flower-draped balconies and vibrant piazzas.
Many of the region’s most renowned towns and villages are also within driving distance, perfect for day trips. Guests can also explore the charming, whitewashed streets and historic centre of Ostuni, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Alberobello, hailed as the trulli capital, and Locorotondo, meaning “round place,” which offers stunning panoramic views from its circular historic centre.
