About this property

Luxury olive mill with heated pool, sea views within walking distance of Ostuni

Masseria Il Trappeto is a stunningly restored olive mill just 1 mile from the historic town of Ostuni, which is set in an an ancient olive grove. It has a heated pool. The Evening Standard described it as 'the perfect place to come for a week with a gang of friends.'

It has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. It has a large outside terrace with a stone table by the pool that seats 14. WIFI AVAILABLE.

There is also limonetto, a private party area just 50m from the front door, which has its own outside kitchen, dance floor, table for 18, open fireplace and lemon trees.....

There is also another chill-out area in the walled garden which is a pergola with sofas and table football by the large heated swimming pool. This now has a beautiful Rajasthani canopy which we had specially made for us in Jodhpur. We also have a ping pong table.

The property is surrounded by terraces on the first floor with magnificent views of Ostuni and the sea. For cooler times we have underfloor heating and two open fireplaces. There is a flat screen TV and internet connection and a music system (CDs and ipods) for music throughout the ground floor. There is a 60sqm sitting room which has the original olive presses, and a large kitchen, with 3 sinks, a large stone table in front of a working fireplace and an island.

The property is set in a peaceful 10,000 acre olive grove, with trees over 1,000 years old. It is a UNESCO World Heritage sit. Yet, it is a 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk to Ostuni. There are no other occupied buildings within sight.

I am always available to answer any questions you have about the villa, flights and facilities. You can call, text or email me anytime. And we also have an Italian house manager, who speaks fluent English and lives 5 minutes away. He can organise a cook and outings.

Vacances en famille
Nous avons sélectionné cet hébergement pour se reunir en famille et nous avons passe un super séjour. Quelques équipements pourraient être remplacés car un peu vieux ou sales. Cependant nous recommandons Il Trappetto pour un séjour dans les Pouilles.

Perfect Puglia Villa
A trulty wonderful villa - superb facilities for relaxing by the huge pool, games on the terrace, barbecue dinner in the Lemon grove, ping pong in the shade, luxury in the bedrooms and bathrooms, cooking in the well-stocked kitchen and snooze in the peaceful olive grove setting about 30 mins walk from the amazing White City of Ostuni. If you are a large group I cannot recommend Il Trappetto enough. Perfect! Book it now.

Wonderful base for exploring Puglia!
We really enjoyed our 2 week stay at Il Trappetto, a unique restoration of an ancient olive mill. The villa is ideally located for day trips to Bari, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Lecce and Santa Maria di Leuca, and of course is very close to Ostuni with its restaurants and shopping. Il Trappetto accommodated us very comfortably - more than enough space to gather together, as well as lots of private space, with a well-equipped kitchen. Ottavio, the property manager, was extremely responsive and provided great recommendations (Mimma the chef is fantastic!) to help us make the most of our time there. Definitely a place we'd return to!

Family reunion
Not a luxury villa. Rather tired and needs refurbishing. Local manager was a big help, fixing the many problems we encountered … green pool, broken air conditioner, blocked drains, flood in laundry room, repaired broken toilet seat with gaffer tape etc. Ostuni is lovely with many good restaurants. Great night life too.

About the host

Hosted by James Pembroke

Host profile image
Josephine and James Pembroke have two properties on VRBO as they are easily the best Website in the UK.
In 2005, we started looking for a small villa abroad and by accident we bought Masseria Il Trappeto, (IT2578) which was a very large ruin which had not been used since the 1940's. That was a vast restoration project, which was achieved amazingly swiftly by Italian craftsmen. We love the area and the food.

Why they chose this property

We came to Puglia and fell in love with the food, the Italians and the climate. We were looking for a family villa not in need of much restoration. We found a very large two storey ancient olive mill, which had been derelict since the 1970s. Within a year we had totally restored Il Trappeto into a luxury villa while still retaining and enhancing it's strong Pugliese character.
Without the fantastic enthusiasm and skill of the local craftsmen and our brilliant Project Manager Ottavio we could not have completed this vast project.

What makes this property unique

Masseria Il Trappeto is within an Ancient Olive Grove and is secluded and private. It has amazing views of the old town of Ostuni and the Adriatic Sea. It is a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive up to Ostuni with it's many restaurants, bars and fabulous shopping,. It is a 10 minute drive to the beaches and Villanova our nearest charming port with very good fish shops and the best foccacia. Il Trappeto is unique as most large properties in the area are b&b's but we are a private villa with a heated pool and an optional cook. Our villa is wonderful at low season we designed it with that in mind. We have underfloor heating, 2 working fires and piles of books and DVD's; we love it for Christmas, walks on the beaches and out for a long lunch (very reasonable too).
