About this place

Villa Giulia is a family-run B&B located in the picturesque Apulian countryside, surrounded by olive, almond, and cherry trees, just 12 km from the sea. This property is the ideal base for exploring the main tourist attractions, which are easily accessible in a short time. Guests can enjoy relaxing moments at the edge of the large pool or stroll through the vast olive grove that surrounds the house. The warm welcome of Giulia and Francesco, always ready to pamper you with a good glass of wine, makes the stay an unforgettable experience.

The space
We have reserved a small portion of our home for our guests: between 20 and 30 square meters, where everything is organized with taste and practicality. Details that show how we consider you and your vacation.

Guest access
Everything you need is at your fingertips: a large swimming pool overlooking a valley dotted with trulli and olive groves, with a whirlpool area to recharge. Comfortable armchairs and cozy deckchairs can be moved around at will, in the shade of a patio or in full sun, protected by the leafy branches of an ancient olive tree. A sturdy hammock awaits you to cradle your moments of relaxation.

The breakfast prepared by Mrs. Giulia can be enjoyed under the panoramic veranda, in the shade of the reed bed, by the pool, in the cool of the patio, or on the small table on the green lawn. Breakfasts vary, following a solid Apulian tradition.

You won't have to worry about parking, there's plenty of space. The wi-fi network will follow you everywhere, even if you decide to walk in the hectare of orchard that surrounds the building, among olive trees, almond trees and cherry trees, or to tackle the winding paved and dirt paths that wind through a natural rocky garden.

During your stay
All your needs will be met as far as possible. You will always find Mrs. Giulia busy and present, concerned with making guests feel at home, to whom she will give the keys to the accommodation and remote control of the gate to make them feel autonomous and an integral part of the small community.

Neighborhood highlights

Bombette, mozzarella and capocollo: delicacies of the Itria Valley.
Exceptional wines, and excellent meats and cheese to delight the palate. Enjoy great cuisine, Puglia-style. Your vacation starts at the table, especially in the Itria Valley.
In these parts, the “milky way” is made up of burrata, stracciatella and mozzarella. This is the place to be if you want to eat your fill of flavorful dairy products.

And if a hunger pang catches you unaware, you don’t need to look for a restaurant. Here, you can even eat a meal at a butcher's shop. Fresh meat, like the kind that is wrapped around bombette (roulades), is grilled right in front of you at fornelli (butcher's shops with dining facilities). And to top off your meal, try a delicious almond biscuit.
