Stunning Villa & Trullo in Ostuni. Amazing Roof Terrace/Heated Pool/Aircon/WiFi

VILLA AURORA is a beautiful Villa with its own large self contained Apartment and charming 300 year old Trullo, located in the countryside of Ostuni in one of the loveliest valleys in the Valle d'Itria wine region, close to many nice beaches.

It is set in an idyllic tranquil location for total relaxation, yet less than a 10 minute drive to the historical towns of Ostuni, the famous "White City", Ceglie Messapica and Cisternino, where there are an abundance of great restaurants serving the freshest local produce and great Puglian wines.

It sleeps 15 people, with the option of sleeping up to 17 for an additional charge, and is fabulous for much smaller groups too. Look at our site to see just how good it is villaaurorapuglia com.

See our video of Villa Aurora on the following link: https://youtube.com/watch?v=bNpLnOkKvac.

The VILLA, APARTMENT & TRULLO have all been beautifully and comfortably furnished throughout. All 7 BEDROOMS are tastefully decorated with air conditioning and good quality comfortable beds. It has lots of large windows and doors to enjoy the beautiful views from whilst inside, making it light, airy and spacious. There are 4 LARGE TERRACES plus 3 LARGE COVERED VERANDAS to sit, eat and relax. The ROOF TERRACE is truly amazing with the real "WOW" factor! All this surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, an olive grove and a wonderful HEATED SWIMMING POOL.
In low season or for late bookings we are prepared to rent the villa out separately.

THE VILLA IS ON TWO LEVELS:-

The UPPER LEVEL has a large LOUNGE with LG OLED 55" smart TV, Sky satellite system, DVD player, B & O bluetooth speaker, sofas, armchairs and two sets of french doors - one leading out to the FRONT TERRACE and the other to a large covered VERANDA with 2 sofas, dining tables and chairs. The lounge is open plan and leads through to a fully equipped KITCHEN with air conditioning, which cools both the lounge and kitchen. There is a large dining table and chairs with french doors leading out to the covered VERANDA where it is a delight to eat. The MASTER BEDROOM has a chaise to sit and peacefully relax, with glass doors leading out to another covered VERANDA with 2 steamer armchairs overlooking the beautiful swimming pool. There is a further DOUBLE BEDROOM and a spacious FAMILY BATHROOM. Both bedrooms have air conditioning. DESK AREA and a marble staircase leading to the lower level of the Villa.

The LOWER LEVEL OF THE VILLA has 3 BEDROOMS - a very large FAMILY BEDROOM, ONE DOUBLE AND ONE TWIN. ALL 3 bedrooms HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. TWO BATHROOMS with walk in showers. The DINING AREA looks out onto the garden where the entire wall is heat reflective glass panels and doors. This has a spectacular glass dining table with chairs all around, the base of the table being the root of an ancient tree. Next to it is a gold chesterfield sofa. This leads into a MASSIVE LOUNGE with a full size Riley snooker table, 3 sofas, 2 wing armchairs, antique opium bed, Google Home Max Smart Speaker, Sony 65" Smart TV with Sky satellite system and DVD player. KITCHEN with a large stone breakfast bar, bar stools, American style fridge/freezer, microwave/oven, 6 burner hob, cooker hood and double sink. LAUNDRY ROOM with supersize washing machine, iron, ironing board, deep porcelain sink and fridge/freezer.

The SELF CONTAINED SUITE/APARTMENT is very spacious. Whilst being part of the Villa it has the benefit of having its own front door, giving the guests staying total privacy. It has a large BEDROOM with air conditioning and wonderful views overlooking the swimming pool and a spacious BATHROOM. There is a well equipped KITCHEN/DINER/LOUNGE with dining table, 6 chairs, sofa, TV and DVD player. From here there are french doors leading out to the FRONT TERRACE where there is a table and chairs to sit and enjoy breakfast, have lunch and drinks.

The Villa and Apartment can be centrally heated in the cooler months for an additional charge for the gas (LPG) consumed.

The TRULLO is unique to this part of Italy and is 300 years old. It has been fully restored, tastefully providing all the comforts anyone would desire. It has the added benefit of being right next to the villa and consists of a KITCHEN, BEDROOM, BATHROOM and LOUNGE with sofa, table, chairs, TV & DVD player. The walls are over a metre thick, making it cool in the hot summer months. It has air conditioning which can also provide heating for the cooler months of the year.

There are 7 bedrooms in total sleeping 15 people, plus cot and highchair. Additional cots and highchairs can be provided. To sleep 2 extra people we have additional single beds which can be put into the apartment lounge, family bedroom or lounge in the lower level of the villa for an additional charge of £750 per week for each person staying over and above 15 (17 max allowed). Children aged 12 months and over are included in the number of guests. Charge of £40 per cot per week. These charges are payable on arrival.

There are many areas to eat inside the Villa, plus several lovely different areas outside to sit and relax, both in and out of the sun.

The doors and windows are all double glazed with shutters and insect screens, giving total darkness to all the bedrooms at night, creating the perfect sleeping environment.

There is the MOST INCREDIBLE ROOF TERRACE with a marble staircase leading up to it with sofas, coffee table, dining table, chairs, Weber bbq and extensive lighting for evening entertaining. From the villa's elevated position you have spectacular views across the hills to Ostuni, Ceglie Messapica and Cisternino. Perfect for sitting sipping an aperitif watching the sunset and to have dinner under the stars with the most amazing "WOW" experience, which never goes away.

UNLIMITED Starlink high level Wifi throughout the Villa and the Apartment, even around the swimming pool and on the roof terrace, but excluding the Trullo.

Fully comprehensive Guest Information Books with everything guests need to know.

Property Manager on hand, Italian and fluent English speaking, for our meet and greet service on arrival and to give any assistance which may be required during your stay. Linda is always available to assist too.

A cook can be provided for evening meals for an additional charge, as well as daily cleaning and babysitting.

10 x 8 metre SWIMMING POOL plus large roman steps and advanced salt water chlorine free system (this is not sea water). Poolside shower, 11 high quality sun loungers, 4 super size designer armchairs, 2 sun umbrellas and its own deluxe BATHROOM with walk in shower. Large stone patio all around the pool bordered with lovely lawns and an oak swing hanging from an olive tree. We have a SOLAR POOL COVER for the beginning and end of the season which really does boost the pool's temperature. The pool can be heated for an additional charge.

There is a very large covered DINING AREA BY THE POOL with a stone table and chairs, stone double sink, fridge and built-in bbq. This has full lighting all around, including the swimming pool and the garden.

Leading up from the swimming pool is a natural STONE TERRACE with benches to sit quietly under the ancient olive trees and enjoy looking down at the swimming pool area, statues and the mediterranean gardens around.

There are 2.5 acres of BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED GARDENS consisting of many different interesting individual areas which are an absolute delight and maintained to the very highest standard. Amongst this is a LOVELY LAVENDER GARDEN and an OLIVE GROVE. There are palms, cypress and many other trees. Fig, mulberry, pomegranate and orange trees to pick your own fruit from. Rosemary, thyme, sage, mint and oregano bushes for fresh herbs to cook with.

15 kW 3 Phase electrical supply at the property to handle all of our electrical requirements and to avoid the problems experienced by many other properties in the area who do not have this, hence their electrics will always be tripping. This is a big plus for us and something all travellers must consider when comparing our property with others.

4 SHADED CAR PORTS plus lots of parking areas all around the grounds

ELECTRIC GATES with intercom system leading to a LARGE DRIVEWAY going all around the property

The property is very private and secure with a high fenced dry stone wall around the entire 2.5 acres

Outdoor TABLE TENNIS and TABLE FOOTBALL

Linda and Chris have put the utmost care and attention into every precise detail. It has been furnished as our home, not as a holiday rental property, giving it that warm homely feel, despite its size. We manage the property ourselves and Linda prides herself in giving our guests a first rate very personal service, always being there to assist, which all our 5* reviews testify

From the moment of booking to leaving the property everything was wonderful. Linda, the owner always replied to emails and messages quickly. Ottavio checked us in and out and was courteous and professional. We had Guilia cook for us twice and the food and service was very professional and great food. I would recommend this villa to families for a great vacation. Plenty of room for everyone.

Multigenerational celebration trip
Came here for parents’ 50th. Grandkids ages 2,4,7. 9 of us total. Property was outstanding, huge, well located, and the owner even more incredible and responsive. Hire the chef she recommends! We had so many choices of where to lounge, dine, and play. House is extremely well equipped, and the various spaces are divided enough to allow each nuclear family to have a little privacy. The pool was heated just enough for us to enjoy in early May, and was a highlight. Property manager also really responsive. Would come back here in a heartbeat!

Friend get-away
Our traveling group spent an amazing week in Ostuni at this villa. We spent days traveling around to local towns, afternoons by the wonderful pool, early evenings having wine on the roof top terrace and evening meals on the terrace prepared by the spectacular Giulia and her husband. Accommodations were perfect with enough places for solitude and group laughter. This home was beyond words - clean, extremely well-appointed and magical. A million thanks to Giulia for making dishes my mother used to make and making each meal so very special. Would definitely recommend this lovely villa and hope to revisit someday.

Fabulous time at Villa Aurora!
Highly recommend Villa Aurora - what an incredible property! We have stayed at many different villas in Italy and this really does top them all! From the ample, landscaped grounds to the superb pool and every part of the various buildings on site, each is impressive, carefully thought out and impeccably maintained. We were a group of 12 made up of 3 families including children from age 11 - 17. Everyone had plenty of space and lots to do! The games area is an added bonus with table football & ping pong. Lots of outdoor eating areas to enjoy as a large group. The roof terrace is a real gem with a 360 degree view over the whole area. We hired Giulia the chef to cook one evening and everyone absolutely loved this experience and her delicious, locally-sourced food! Boat trip at Polignano a Mare and Tuk Tuk tours of Ostuni where such great fun activities for all ages. The owners provided extensive information of every aspect of the trip, from local restaurants, shops, activities and directions. The whole villa is maintained to a superb standard and allows you to really make the most of this incredible area of Italy with maximum comfort. Outstanding!

Not quite 5 star - premium price but falls short in parts
Good property but some of the bedrooms disappointing in size and without AC. Kitchen and veranda in main villa very tight for a group of 13 and furniture disappointing for dining on veranda. Despite website lauding the power provision at the villa, all electricity went out following one thunderstorm (understandable) but the pump for water cut out a further three times during our one week stay and not storm related. A lot of rules and reminders making our stay somewhat less relaxing and comfortable than it should be. A lot of dogs locally with some very loud vicious barking at night. Premium price but it is not a premium product/offer in every respect.

Where to begin…
Villa Aurora is not your typical holiday rental and we have rented several in Italy, France and the Caribbean. This is akin to staying at a friends country home. The decor is exquisite filled with antiques and art representative of the Far East. The kitchen is outfitted with all one needs to cook, serve and store meals. And given the lovely veranda, who wouldn’t want to enjoy some meals outdoors. Or as an alternative you could have Giulia, a chef familiar with the villa, prepare you a sumptuous feast. We were a family of 9 and the accommodations left us wanting for nothing. Plenty of space to find quiet time, ample bathroom/ bedrooms and stunning outdoor gardens complete with walking paths and seating. Cocktails were enjoyed several evenings on the rooftop terrace after a lazy afternoon at the tempting outdoor pool complete with comfortable lounge chairs, shady seating and a refrigerator. We can not thank Linda enough for her communication throughout the booking process and stay providing us with ample material about the area. This family birthday celebration in the region of our grandfather’s birth could not have been more perfect! Grazie mille to all.

Superlative in an understatement
Our three generation family of 15 spent a week at this spectacular property. We have stayed in many rentals but none were as well equipped as Villa Aurora. A quiet rural setting that exceeded our expectations. Communication with Linda was prompt and helpful. Ottavio the onsite manager was always there if and when we needed him. At Linda's recommendation we engaged Guilia and her daughter for cooking our evening meals. The food was wonderful as were the chef and daughter. All in all it was a wonderful week in the Puglia region of Italy. It will be in our collective memory books for a long time. Thanks Linda

A wonderful stay in the beautiful Villa Aurora
Our host Linda gave us a perfect stay in the heart of the beautiful Puglia countryside. Villa Aurora gave us every amenity that we could think of. Every detail of our Villa was hand curated by the owner, Linda, who did a magnificent job communicating to us prior and during our stay. Our family had 7 of us in which our kids are 19 down to 1. Villa Aurora’s heated pool and manicured landscaping kept us outside a lot even when it was cooler weather. Linda connected us with Giulia who cooked many magnificent meals for our family. By the end of our stay we felt like Giulia and her family were our friends. We certainly will come back to Ostuni and stay here at Villa Aurora again.

We were a large family group of 16 covering four generations. Villa Aurora is a beautiful villa with separate apartment and Trullo. It is extremely well appointed and equipped with lovely outside spaces, pool, gardens, terraces. Linda helped deliver a 5 star experience, providing many recommendations for local attractions, restaurants, beaches, markets etc and was on hand to answer any questions.

Fabulous family holiday
Our family of three generations from New Zealand, Australia and the UK spent 2 weeks at this wonderful property. Linda was so helpful with suggestions and arranging for our great cook, Giulia, and for Massages. The property was perfect for our needs with separation for the different families and the most gorgeous pool. The property is beautifully kept and has many different entertainment options for both adults and children. We appreciated the fantastic cooking and kindness of Giulia - certainly worth having her cook - we did it every second night and she was very reasonable and a lovely lady. The pool was very well maintained and the children spent hours in it. We have had our family holidays in Hawai'i, Australia, Phuket and other parts of Europe. This was by far the best and we recommend it to an extended family group or a group of friends. Fabulous place - Linda's attention to detail was most appreciated - every small thing was thought of to make our stay go so smoothly. Many thanks, Linda and Chris for lending us your home!

We have just come back from 2 weeks at Villa Aurora, and it was amazing. Our group of friends and family arrived at various times, and we’re all blown away by the villa. It has literally everything you could think of, and the villa and gardens are immaculate. We had Giulia give us a cookery lesson, which was great. She then came in and cooked for our birthday party of 14 people, which was worth every penny. We may never have a large enough group to stay here again, but can't recommend it enough, and Linda was only a message away to help solve any problems.

Wonderful week with the family
Villa Aurora worked exceptionally well for our family, ages ranging 2 through 84. The pool area and snooker table were excellent and very well used. From table tennis and foosball, to badminton rackets and board games, the villa comes well equipped. Good Wi-Fi throughout was a bonus too. Kitchens well equipped and on two evenings we welcomed the lovely Giulia, once to cook a meal and the second time for a cookery lesson - both delicious! Great value, with massive portions to boot, meant there were plenty of leftovers for the next day. Linda's advice and pointers were appreciated and always timely, restaurant recommendations were excellent too. Did we mention the pool.. very good size, plenty of comfy loungers and just the right amount shade for when one needed to escape the sun. The gardens are beautifully sculpted and like the villa very well maintained. Would love to be heading back there soon as opposed to writing a post visit review!

Fabulous Family Holiday
We have just returned from our family holiday at Villa Aurora. Fantastic time (17 of us age range from 9 – 80!). Layout of villa, Trullo & apartment was great. We all had our own space but also had loads of family together time – at the house, round the dinner table, up on the roof, round the pool etc.!. Lovely furnishings inside the house, kitchens very well equipped, beds were extremely comfortable. You get the sense you are staying in a home and not rented accommodation. The pool is quite brilliant and a lot wider than I thought. One comment on the loungers – the white sculptured plastic loungers look far less comfortable than the normal sun loungers. Believe that at your peril. They are exceptionally comfortable and were being ‘fought’ over by the end of the holiday! Linda was very organised at sending through local information, restaurant recommendations etc. before our holiday. All were very relevant and useful. Note - you don’t need to print it all out. Linda has a huge information pack in the Villa with all that information and more! It was a very relaxing, peaceful holiday. Great time was had by all. Thank you very much.

Fantastic Place,
Myself and my family of 11 adults stayed in Villa Aurora the week before our daughters wedding in Casale Del Murgese. From the moment we made our first enquiry Linda could not have been more helpful. We arrived at the Villa and even though we had looked at the pictures on numerous occasions we were blown away by how beautiful and peaceful it is there. We settled in quickly and really appreciated the welcome pack and Ottavio was most helpful showing us around the villa. As suggested by previous guests we had Guilia in to cook on two evenings and the food was great and it was lovely to just relax and enjoy the many facilities available. The young adults in our group really enjoyed playing table tennis and table football. The older adults had some very competitive games of pool ! The villa has so much outdoor space that it never seems crowded. As we had really good weather we spent a lot of time down by the pool and had a few barbies in the dining area there. All in all everyone enjoy the stay and all said they cant wait to return. Thank you Linda and Chris, your home made for a very relaxing week prior to our daughters wedding.
