In the heart of the Ostuni countryside, surrounded by ancient olive trees, dry stone walls, and the scent of the Mediterranean, stands Lamia del Castagno — a stunning, recently renovated villa that strikes the perfect balance between the authentic soul of rural Puglia and the comfort of modern living.
This uniquely charming residence is born from a traditional stone lamia, skillfully restored to offer guests an exclusive, intimate, and immersive stay. Every space has been thoughtfully designed to tell a story of beauty, hospitality, and deep respect for local architectural tradition, while embracing elegant, contemporary touches.
Outside, Lamia del Castagno opens onto a beautiful private space, immersed in nature’s peaceful embrace. A well-kept Mediterranean garden, dotted with aromatic plants, olive trees, and flowering corners, welcomes guests into a soothing and evocative atmosphere.
The covered veranda, furnished with a large rustic table, is the ideal setting to enjoy the convivial spirit of Puglia: slow breakfasts, lunches in the sun, and dinners under the stars become unforgettable moments here.
The highlight of the outdoor area is the private hot tub, perfect for relaxing at sunset with a glass of local wine in hand, accompanied only by the sounds of the countryside. Completing the scene is a sunbathing area with loungers, ideal for soaking in the warmth and peace of rural Puglia in complete privacy.
Inside, the villa welcomes guests with warmth and refinement. The spaces are thoughtfully curated yet simple, designed to promote well-being and quiet elegance.
Guests enter through a fully equipped kitchenette, perfect for preparing local dishes and experiencing Puglia through its flavors.
The sleeping area consists of two independent bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, offering privacy and comfort.
The master bedroom is a small masterpiece of rural architecture: beautifully preserved stone walls create a romantic, timeless atmosphere, with a double bed as the centerpiece, bathed in soft light and surrounded by minimalist, tasteful furnishings.
The second bedroom, featuring a French bed, is perfect for a second couple, friends, or older children. Here too, comfort and style blend in a well-kept, welcoming space, with a private en-suite bathroom to ensure independence and privacy.
