Villa Ninetta

Villa Ninetta is a sophisticated seven-bedroom residence situated just outside the “White City” of Ostuni in the heart of Apulia. The estate is an architectural blend of traditional Apulian heritage and sleek modern design, comprising a restored historic stone trullo connected to a smart, minimalist garden villa.

Surrounded by endless green, the property is defined by its clean white masonry and stunning elevated views. Designed as a versatile retreat, the villa offers a tranquil immersion into the Salento landscape, balancing the rustic charm of rural Italy with a high-end, contemporary aesthetic. A preserved stone trullo serves as a sculptural focal point, grounding the modern estate in its historic agricultural context.

At the heart of the grounds, an infinity swimming pool stretches toward the horizon, framed by a stone terrace and a manicured lawn. Beside the pool, sun loungers and umbrellas are positioned to capture the expansive views over the Valle d’Itria. At one end, a shaded poolside lounge and dining area is the perfect place to enjoy relaxed barbecues.

Beside the villa, a partially shaded terrace serves as the perfect outdoor living hub. It features a long dining table and a built-in lounge area beneath a pergola, offering respite from the heat. The gardens are meticulously landscaped with Mediterranean shrubbery, leading to a hidden fire pit area amongst the bushes.

Inside, the villa embraces a warm, light palette of whites, creams and blues, accentuated by natural timber and terracotta touches. The decor is understated and high-quality, utilising details like tactile fabrics and woven light fixtures, to create a space that feels both gallery-like and comfortable, ensuring the focus remains on the light and the landscape.

The main living space is airy and open-plan. The high-end kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and lounge, featuring built-in seating and a large fireplace surround. The villa also includes a games room equipped with a pool table.

The accommodation is split across three separate wings, accommodating up to 14 guests. The original trullo wing houses two characterful bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, providing a unique historic sleeping experience. The contemporary garden wing contains three bedrooms on the ground floor, many of which offer direct access to the terraces through sliding glass doors. The guest wing offers the remaining two bedrooms, one of which features a private living room that can be adapted to an additional single bedroom. This layout provides a perfect balance of communal social areas and secluded private quarters.

With its spacious grounds and beautiful amenities, Villa Ninetta serves as a premier destination for a modern Apulian escape.
