"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.
Perhaps you are finding it difficult to make a final choice. Perhaps you don't have the time to search through all of the properties and make a decision. Whatever the reason, let us help you in any way we can...
Relax Puglia provides a range of additional services to make your stay more relaxed, comfortable and enjoyable. On your arrival, we can arrange for a food basket to be waiting for you together with a selection of local wines. Why not spoil yourselves with your own, in-house local chef, or a luxurious massage in the comfort of your villa. We have a wide range of tours and activities to choose from and we can provide transfers and taxis to help you get around.
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...
One storey summer villa, surprising and innovative architectural choices, making use of the natural light and energetic space.
From the wild natural landscape is generated a magnificent panoramic pool, decked by sun umbrellas and loungers, a wide staircase to reach the upper sundeck for a far-reaching perspective of the estate where you can enjoy the views of the boundless skies, and puzzle together the conical buildings that dot the countryside and view the hilltop town of Cisternino.
Location
From the villa you have a bird’s eye view of the hilltop town of Cisternino, (4 kms) its whitewashed houses and narrow cobbled streets, crammed with a staggering selection of restaurants, bars and curious boutiques.
Stefano's Villa is a short cycle or walk to the labyrinth of winding country lanes of the surrounding and all-embracing Valle d’Itria.
If tempted, a vehicle ride brings you the outlying boroughs towards the baroque town of Martina Franca, the white wine headquarters of Locorotondo, the often overlooked (but please don’t!) Ceglie Messapica and the great ‘White Town’ of Ostuni.
There is much to explore further afield, our Guide Michele, suggests visiting the spectacular sights of perhaps the octagonal shaped Castle ‘Castel del Monte’, built by King Frederick the II in the 1300s; Gravina in Puglia where the iconic 007 made his grand leap off the Roman bridge; Matera – a fascinating complex of cave dwellings; the port and riviera of fine restaurants in Trani; the sweeping views and charming old town of Otranto, and one of our favourite cities of all Italy, Lecce, need we say more…..
Family & Friends
Long Winter weekends, Spring breaks, longer stretches of time in Summer and Autumn to linger; to spend some time in Stefano's Villa, is to be sheltered from everything, at any time of the year. A place to think of more genuine pleasures and bring small families and friends together.
The Interiors
The semi-openair dining room is a natural viewpoint from which to observe one room to another or overlook the elongated poolside. Stefano's Villa has bold, strong lines, highly fucntional with a modern elegance.
A practical kitchen, adjacent to the dining room, is well-organised, with large fridge, oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, equipped for fesivities and small company. It connects to the back yard through French double-glazed windows and the breakfast patio.
The lounge, that celebrates light and nature, is comfortable and contemporary, furnished with a sofa and smart working corner. A perfect place for curling up with a book after a long day outdoors exploring.
Two bedrooms, each with their own private shower room, one accommodating a double bed, the second a french sized double, with soft spirited colouring and cooling fabrics.
Desgined for creative simplicity.
Exteriors
A covered breakfast terrace flanks Stefano's dining room, with views over the poolside, not with mentioning the extraordinary back drop created by the white terraced village of Cisternino, in the distance. A grand mixture of great outdoors, BBQ, Al fresco Gazebo and swimming pool.
Stefano's Villa, serves many purposes of a holiday home, but most of all, to promote well-being and relaxation.
