Dimora dei Semplici

In the sprawling grounds, the property boasts two large swimming pools, one on either side of the villa. Both are surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and lined with plush sun loungers for post-swim relaxation.

One pool has an outdoor lounge setting at either end, offering the perfect place to enjoy drinks as the sun sets. At one end is a spacious barbecue area with a wood-fire pizza oven and an outdoor dining area shaded by a vine-covered pergola.

A little further from the main outdoor living spaces, the second pool is great for laps or perhaps rowdier young swimmers looking for more room to play. Beside the pool is another outdoor lounge setting and an expansive lawn, perfect for a post-swim kick-around with a football.

Also ideal for families with children, there is a shaded with table tennis and table football sets to enjoy.

Indoors, the villa has a rustic style with flagstone floors and a neutral colour palette. The rooms under the traditional trulli cones have high ceilings, beautiful arched doorways, and exposed brick walls.

The open-plan lounge and dining room is the hub of the home. Comfy sofas surround a crackling fireplace and a large, flat-screen TV at one end; at the other is a beautiful dark wood refectory table ideal for convivial dinner parties.

Beneath the trulli cones is a second living room with a plush sofa and a small dining nook with a small breakfast table. Furthermore, the many cosy seating alcoves throughout provide spaces for guests to curl up with a holiday read.

The modern, country-style kitchen is well-equipped for preparing delicious Italian feasts or enjoying a light snack at the breakfast bar. Glass doors bring fresh air and light in and allow easy access to the al fresco dining area, as well as access to the organic vegetable garden where budding chefs can collect fresh produce.

There are six well-appointed bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities. The master bedroom has a double bed, though the rest can be set up as doubles or twins, providing groups with greater flexibility.

For those seeking a beautiful property with character and charm combined with all the facilities expected in a modern luxury villa, Dimora dei Semplici is hard to beat.
