About this property

6 MIN WALK TO OSTUNI OLD TOWN - Stunning villa with Pool & Panoramic Sea Views

A ‘mosca bianca’ (white fly) is how the locals describe this magical location with its beautifully renovated lamia, private pool, outdoor kitchen with barbecue, pizza oven and very own orange grove, i.e., an exceptionally rare find.

The Lamia has been restored with its original stone features and vaulted ceiling and is situated just a few minutes walk from the old town of Ostuni, The White City, boasting unrivalled sea views, as far as the eye can see, as well as a picture postcard view of the old town.

However, whilst you are a stone's throw from Ostuni, the villa is situated in its own private orange grove where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. The original lamia, which is now the sitting room, has been sympathetically extended to include a large kitchen/dining area and 2 double bedrooms, which lead straight out to the pool, all with ensuite bathrooms. The other 2 bedrooms are accessed from outside the main villa right next to the pool and are self-contained. Each bedroom has it's own private access but they are connected by an internal door, which can be locked for privacy. It is easy to access the main building, however, as the outside stairs take you straight up to the kitchen.

From the sitting room you can access the first of two terraces with stunning panoramic views of the beautiful Adriatic coast located just 8km away. The sea views stretch for miles in front of you and, to your left, you have the picture postcard view of the White City.

Ostuni is brimming with restaurants and cool bars and during the summer has a whole host of events in the piazza from live music to art exhibitions to street artists and is buzzing till the early hours. During the day you can relax by the beautiful pool overlooking the orange grove whilst gazing out to sea or enjoy a day at any of the variety of different beaches and coves along the coast. If you want a break from the sunbed there are plenty of day trips you can take to explore the beautiful medieval towns dotted around Salento and sample the amazing food and wines the region has to offer.

In the evening, savour a sun-downer on the top terrace watching the twinkling lights of Ostuni before enjoying a BBQ by the pool or trying your hand at making your own pizzas in the pizza oven. We can even arrange a Pizzaiolo to come in and make pizza's with you! Whatever you do, you can be sure that all your senses will be awakened in this magical place. And if you want a winter getaway, the villa boasts underfloor heating and a beautiful original stone fireplace to keep you warm at night. It is truly an all year round experience.

The location of this villa is fantastic. It's less than a 10 minute walk to Ostuni where there are many great restaurants and many day trips within an hour drive. The views from the outdoor areas are wonderful during the day and at night. In addition to Ostuni, you can see the Adriatic. Malinda and Francesco were very responsive. The furnishings and linens are on the basic side and it would be great to have better lighting on the patio with the dining table overlooking the town.

Beautiful property with easy walk to Ostuni

This was truly a unique property with old world roots and new world amenities. The location is very centrally located to use as our "home base" to see the Puglia region. We could easily drive to Alberobello, Lecce, Polignano or Monopoli for day trips and be back in the afternoon to relax around the beautiful pool or on the amazing rooftop deck with views of Ostuni and the Adriatic Sea. We took Melinda's recommendation to have a chef and pizzaiolo cook for us at the house and loved them both. Very special setting for a family gathering. We would highly recommend this villa!!

Fabulous location with easy walk to Ostuni centre. The external spaces were good, but the patio furniture was tired and needed replacing.The bedrooms and bathrooms were good.The internal living space was not adequate for 8 adults. We sadly had some bad weather and could not sit together in the living room. The kitchen was basic but functional. The crockery was chipped and also needed replacing.

Great Experience!

We were a group of 4 couples staying at the villa while exploring Puglia. There was plenty of room for us all and great areas to congregate. The views were amazing! The best part of the stay was the communication with the host and her local manager. I cannot say enough! Francesco arranged transportation from Brindisi for 4 of us and a private chef to come to the house on the first night which was amazing. We walked into town several times and it was doable for most of the group. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Breathtaking Villa

We stayed here as a group of friends as we were all attending the same wedding. The villa was perfection. Rooms were clean and tidy and beautifully styled. The pool was divine. The views were utterly spectacular. It was perfect for our stay. A short walk into Ostuni. Perfect location as it was close enough to explore but far away that you had own little bit of peace and quiet. It really Was the perfect villa for our trip and couldn’t recommend it more.

Ostuni Magic

My husband and I and 4 of our friends recently stayed at Villa Aranciato in Ostuni and it was a magical time. The villa is within a very short walk to Ostuni town and has unobstructed views of panoramic Ostuni and across to the coastline. It was very comfortable for us 6 adults and we loved the amenity that this location provided. It is a brilliant base for driving to other sites in Puglia, but also great just sitting around the pool or having the obligatory aperitivo up on the roof terrace. Ostuni town is well provided with amazing restaurants, bars and other amenities and is very picturesque. Exploring the town itself provided for many hours of pleasure. If you wish to have a Puglian summer holiday, this location and villa are perfect. We will treasure our memories here for ever, especially since I celebrated a milestone birthday here. Perfect in every way. Thank you. Mary (Melbourne, Australia)

We loved our stay at this house. It is such a wonderful location, very close to the old town of Ostuni, at the same time in the countryside. The house has so many areas to hang out and relax - and in that way is really unique. We also booked a pizza making experience through the owner and that was our favourite night of our stay. Would highly recommend.

Idyllic

We were 4 couples staying at the villa for 1 week beginning of July , it suited us perfectly & was even better than the pictures ,we kept pinching ourselves that we were staying there for our holiday . Location is fab and we made good use of the BBQ and Pizza oven , really good supermarket 5 mins drive away. Great contact with Melinda the owner before we travelled offering us lots of suggestions and answering any questions we had.Think we got off on the wrong foot with Francesco the property manager in Ostuni but when we had a problem with the dishwasher it was fixed quickly and he even let us stay an extra couple of hours on our last day as there was no one coming into the Villa and we had a late flight! so we thank you very much So if you are thinking of going to Puglia and want a beautiful Villa in a great location get it booked now !!

First family holiday - lovely stay

We were 6 adults and a 9 month old baby. It was our first family holiday since the baby arrived and was a huge success.The property is exactly as shown and met our expectations. Very clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. There was plenty of room for us all to socialise, but also have our space. The pool was great and it was so nice to have a shaded area there as well, The area was great, lush, well kept and nice and quiet. 5 min drive to a very nice supermarket (not walkable) and 10min walk to town along the quiet road. Ostuni is a really nice town, plenty of nice cafes & restaurants, pretty to look at, nice little shops. Would def go back.

Ostuni Vacation

The house was beautiful! My kids absolutely loved the outdoors and orange grove. Pool was opened by our request by the owner, we would have loved it if heating was an option even with an additional cost. Lights were out on the stairway and property manager was over there within a day or two to rectify the situation with an electrician. Very attentive! Pizza oven wasn’t working which we were sad about but overall fantastic location and home!

Lovely villa with an easy walk into Ostuni

Overall our stay was pleasant. We were two families with children aged between 1- 9yrs and whilst the layout was great for two families to enjoy with sufficient privacy, for safety reasons I would recommend for young toddlers. Bedrooms and bathrooms lovely as was the incredible view from the top terrace. On the negatives, the place does require some attention which did impact our stay. Air-con in the kitchen and one bedroom were not working. The pool definitely needs to be relined and all the cushions for the outdoor seating areas were very old and ripped. We could not even sit in the top terrace as the cushions were left out during the storm prior to arrival and still had not dried after 5 days. We could not enjoy the bbq on the first night as planned as no lighters worked nor were there any working bottle openers. Just some small attention to detail would have made the stay perfect.

Great stay - location and outdoor areas are great

It’s a great house - the outdoor space and views are great and a short walk into Ostuni. We were there as two families - 9 in total and 5 kids under 5. Lots of stairs but was easily manageable with small ones. Melinda sorted extra high chairs and cribs as needed and everything on site worked as expected. Francesco was also really helpful to sort any extras we needed incl taxis etc. Hopefully we can return one day!

Beautiful villa a short walk to Ostuni

We had a wonderful time in Ostuni. The view of the town from the terrace is priceless. We enjoyed the pool and ping pong. Everyone had their privacy and the accomodations were very clean and comfortable. The property and garden is so interesting- we loved exploring. It is an easy walk to town but the road is narrow and the drivers are speedy so use caution at night especially. Thank you, Melinda, for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. It was a great introduction to Puglia.

Ideal home for families and groups

This property exceeded expectations in every way. It’s interior design and furnishings were better than the photos suggest, it’s layout is fantastic - especially the pool area for daytime lounging and the rooftop deck for late night cocktails. The views in every direction are ideal. And the location is excellent- just a short walk into town which our group (including young kids) did daily. Highly recommend!

Villa with a beautiful view, close to town.

We were a group of 4 couples that stayed in this beautiful villa. The views are breathtaking and we especially loved all the different seating areas outside. The pool was a plus especially on hot days. It is about a 10 minute walk to the main piazza in Ostuni. The walk was easy, mostly flat with some uphill as you get closer to town. Its good to have a small flashlight or use your phone when walking at night since it’s a country road with no lighting until you approach the town. The kitchen is well equipped and comfortable. The bedrooms were comfortable all with en-suite bathrooms. Things to note
 if you don’t have a car ask the property manager Francesco to call a cab to take you to the supermarket (Famiglia) just outside the main town to buy what you need for your stay. There is also another grocery store in town to pick up stuff you can easily carry if you can walk for 25 minutes and carry a bag. If you have mobility issues or young toddlers this house maybe be difficult to get around because of the multiple levels and steps and lack of railing, which can be typical in Italy. Melinda the owner is very helpful and responsive. Francesco the manager is the best. We were able to check in early.

Beautiful stay on the doorstep to Ostuni old town

The property was wonderful, very modern additions to the traditional lamia lounge room. The property manager, Francesco went above and beyond to accommodate our late arrival and then to help out with transport. We couldn't thank him enough. The villa is only a short walk to Ostuni old town which is full of great restaurants and bars. Would definitely recommend the villa to friends.

About the host

Hosted by Melinda Jackson

Host profile image
I live in Kent in England with my 3 beautiful children and am so excited to be able to share this beautiful Lamia with you. I fell in love with this area back in 2011 and was very lucky to find this gem tucked away from view. It took me nearly 4 years to renovate it into the villa it is today, keeping the original building at it's core. Italy stole my heart many moons ago on holiday with my family. This led me to teach English in Le Marche for 2 years so I could learn the beautiful language. Fast forward a lot of years and I yearned to go back and own a piece of Italy for myself. Puglia immediately caught my eye with its trullis and olive groves and when I saw Ostuni it was love at first sight and I knew that I wanted to be close to this magical town.

Why they chose this property

I was incredibly fortunate to come across the perfect setting and a derelict Lamia in need of some loving restoration. After a 3-year renovation project, I feel so proud and extremely fortunate to say that L'Aranceto is mine and I can finally share its beauty and magic with you. The location is second to none and the view from the villa over the Adriatic coast and Ostuni Old Town is breathtaking. You don't have to worry about parking as you can simply leave your car at the villa and walk a mere 6-minutes into the piazza where you can sample all the delights Ostuni has to offer. When you want to go further afield, the villa is well placed for easy access to the beach and other beautiful nearby towns and there are all the amenities you could need on your doorstep too.

What makes this property unique

You have your own private pool with outdoor kitchen with bbq and sink next to a large pergola with dining table and seating overlooking the orange grove which now grows in what used to be a stone quarry. Here you can lose yourself in the various areas within the grove and pick the different variety of citrus fruit, grapes, figs and cherries that grow there. The property boasts two different terraces where you can eat breakfast and lunch or chill on the top roof terrace under the stars while admiring the twinkling lights of Ostuni in the warm night air. There is a pizza oven and dining table just off the kitchen so there are many different areas to choose from. The villa is equipped for use all year round having underfloor heating and the original stone fireplace making this the ideal spot to explore Puglia.
