"Just wanted to pass on what a lovely stay we had at L’Oleandro. It’s such as special place, thoughtfully renovated and in a beautiful area of Puglia. The pizza chef evening was a huge success, a treat for us grown ups and the kids too. Thank you and the rest of Relax Puglia team for helping to make our holiday such a positive one. An extra special thank you to the Halloween fairies that provided decorations, accessories and sweets for the 31st, it was very thoughtful of you!"

Experience true tranquillity at one of Relax Puglia’s ‘Home for Holidays’ in the southernmost region of Italy. Puglia has attracted engaged couples and honeymooners for many centuries, due to its stunning landscapes, pristine coastline, sleepy hilltop towns and slow pace of life. The region has the sensation that time has stood still, and that’s all you could wish for during your holiday with close friends and family.

The Dolce Vita is from coast to coast; from the Adriatic to the Ionian, between Otranto and Gallipoli. If you wish to discover the key to local artisan excellence, include a stopover in one or more of the hamlets and villages that trip along the coastline, topple on the summits of hilltops or make a splash in to the small bays and lagoons.
A selection of articles that explore the region of Puglia: its wonderful countryside and coastline, its rich history, its fascinating culture, its delicious food and wine and, of course, its warm and welcoming people...
A delightful three-bedroom country house with a courtyard and swimming pool bathed in light and whiteness. Designed with graceful simplicity akin to its environmental surroundings. The courtyard is an extension of the house, a place where conversations begin at early day break and finish by night fall; a place where long lazy lunches are taken beneath the shade of the pergola then all chatter falls quiet as its occupants move into the cozy coolness of the living room.
In the evening the natural sunlight dims and the candles are lit. The olive groves, shrubbery and Mediterranean plants bring gentle wafts of their scent with the latter-day breeze, the courtyard assembles its guests to count the stars in the peacefulness of the moonlit sky.
Location
Casale La Maison Blanche sits proudly on the elevated and panoramic crests of the Valle d’Itria, the home of the trullo, dairy farmsteads, olive trees and vineyards; and one of Puglia’s most attractive and popular areas for visitors. The valley primarily refers to the white hilltop towns of Cisternino, Locorotondo, Ceglie Messapica and Martina Franca. The charming market town of Cisternino being the nearest to Casale La Maison Blanche, with a drive of approximately 5kms.
For cyclists, walkers and trekkers, the nearby ‘Ciclovia dell’Acquedotto Pugliese’, a non-vehicle track, is conveniently located nearby and accessible to visitors to the Casale La Maison Blanche. The 500 km historic and original water system construction brought water to Puglia from Caposele in the early 20th century from the province of Avellino in the Campania district and runs through the Valle d’itria connecting the local towns.
A local shop on the country corner road serves for all purposes throughout the week. Arrive on foot for a morning stroll to collect your goods and preserves and absorb the local chatter before the day begins.
Friends & Family
A villa for friends and family, six adults and children, sharing in surroundings that are designed for entertaining and enjoying the outdoors as much as the internal accommodation. Spacious for privacy and luxuriously comfortable.
Interior
From the original stone building which currently houses the master double bedroom, furnished in hues of taupe and greys, with external independent access and its own shower room to the extended villa build which completes the open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area and long corridor to the additional two bedrooms, respectively with beige and white furnishings, both suitable as twins or two doubles with shared shower room. Both these bedrooms are with an air con unit for each one.
Each of the bedrooms are spacious with plenty of wardrobe and hanging space, and night tables. The kitchen is well equipped for the Chef in you or for simple culinary inventions! The lounge divans invite you to relax and snuggle into a corner with a good book, if not just to relax and catch up on family and friends’ news.
Exteriors
The private pool resembling a beach at home without having to make the journey to the seaside! Newly built for the summer season 2020, completing the design and graceful simplicity of Casale La Maison Blanche, and complimenting the extensive grounds that give an unsurmountable amount of privacy to its guests with dominating panoramic views over the Valle d’Itria and surrounding, generous landscape.
Casale La Maison Blanche brings you under its spell, contemporary, traditional and dreamlike. Altogether much like the Valle d’itria within which it resides, a corner of the world you cannot imagine exists in reality.
