Casa Emilia

Casa Emilia is a family retreat set in three hectares of centuries-old olive groves, some of the trees over a thousand years old, just four minutes by car (or a 25-minute walk) from Ostuni along a quiet country lane. Sleeping seven guests across a three-bedroom main house and a separate one-bedroom guest house, Casa Probo, the property looks out over its own olive groves to the sea, the surrounding hills and the rooftops of Ostuni itself, all enclosed within stone walls behind an electric gate. The beaches, along with Cisternino and the seafood restaurants of Savelletri, are all close by.

The main house holds three en-suite bedrooms: a master with a king bed opening onto a private terrace through metal shutters, a twin room looking over the aranceto, and a third bedroom with a trundle bed, a fitted wardrobe and its own bathroom. Antique wooden doors, stone floors and silent air conditioning run throughout, alongside a fully equipped kitchen with a Bosch oven, a vaulted ceiling and a refectory dining table for eight.
