Villa Perego claims and dominates the resplendent valley upon which it proudly sits, on a tract of land belonging to the territory of Ostuni; an area of Puglia that offers colour, light, infinite skies, olive trees and an immense scenery. The villa is an architectural reflection of its natural surroundings, taking the traditional Puglian style to contemporary heights; fully aware of its history and conscious of its future.
Formed over two levels, the villa stands against the skyline, each level leads gracefully to the stylish water pool. Villa Perego has personality, the interior design is fresh and youthful; a place of light and relaxation.
Location
The landscape is dotted with historic farm buildings and more recently built characteristic homes in addition to endless fields of olive and fruit orchards. A charming setting that invites contemplation, a step back from reality; yet all within a 10-minute ride away of the nearest town’s amenities, restaurants, boutiques; and the popular market town of Cisternino.
For Friends & Family
The villa provides an engaging environment in which guests can share sun-kissed days by the pool and welcoming and warm summer nights; gazing across the star lit valley; a delightful combination in the company of friends or a small family.
Interiors:
Design co-exists with interiors that are comfortable and practical too! Natural light ensures both levels enjoy the open space. On the main floor, the full-length window paned doors open on to the veranda and the lounge. The lounge has a digital TV and a two-seater for moments of repose.
The kitchen is a cheery cool green with a modern island for breakfast or a light lunch. The way leads along a corridor to the first double bedroom, decorated in a simple chic white, with a touch of silver grey. The bedroom also has its own en suite shower room dressed in a cool beige stone. An internal stone tiled staircase takes you to the lower quarters which is home to the second bedroom, and two single beds. The twin bed opens on to the pool patio from the sliding doors, just a few steps and you can take a plunge into the green depths.
Both rooms have ample wardrobe space for luggage and holiday wear.
The entire property has an outlook on to the poolside, terraces and the surrounding rural landscape.
Exteriors:
The elevated position of Villa Perego beckons you to the veranda edge; to survey all that is below and beyond. The endless agricultural fields of rich red soil, the almond, fig and olive trees preparing themselves for the harvest and the vast amount of greenery; such a pleasant contrast against the endless blue skies offered by Puglian summers.
The salt-based infinity swimming pool sits below the veranda balcony, a pool of aqua marine blue. A welcome sight after a day of exploring the neighbouring towns and villages or the Adriatic and Ionian beaches and coastline.
Features:
• Two private shower-rooms
• Two bedrooms
• 8 x 5m salt based infinity pool
• Air conditioning

Celebrate Food
Sagras/Festivals
Our region holds a number of festivals ‘sagra’ during the year, mainly during the summer; celebrating religious anniversaries, customs, local food produce, crafts, wines and music. They offer huge amounts of evening entertainment with live music and usually fireworks to close the event. Each village opens its community doors offering their hospitality and locality to visitors. Be sure you enquire with us as to the nearest one to your holiday villa in Puglia to ensure you do not miss out on all the fun and festivities!
Exclusive for our Guests at Relax Puglia
Chef in Casa - Home-cooked food for travelers of the world; what better way to grasp the inner circle of local life than to have a local cook share with you their Puglia cuisine, as cooked in their homes. We are fortunate to have on board Lucrezia, who has been working with Relax Puglia for nearly ten years.
Lucrezia is warm and generous with a passion I can only envy for cooking; but looking after two growing boys has been her real inspiration; working magic with fresh and seasonal local ingredients. Enquire with us, we have set menus available to choose from or let us know what you’ve in mind.
Cooking Classes – If you are looking to entertain the family and also wish to experience real Pugliese country cooking then look no further. Hands-on cooking lessons where everyone gets to be involved making a full course meal, from anti-pasto to first and second courses and to complete it with a traditional sweet dish.
In-house Massages - Life is easier when you are relaxed so you may need to pamper yourself or someone else. Bring the Massage Therapist to your Puglia rental villa door and enjoy a delicious massage, a fusion of eastern and western techniques pointing you towards both relaxation and cure.
The best part about bringing the Massage Therapist to your door is, you don’t have to drive, you don’t have to deal with the outside world, you don't even have to get dressed although the Therapist would appreciate you wear a robe!
"Hi Colleen. Just a quick note to say that we have had an absolutely wonderful time at Villa Perego and will be sorry to move on tomorrow. Many thanks to you and your colleagues for your kind welcome to both the Villa and also to this part of Italy, which we have absolutely fallen in love with and will definitely return. Also, I’d be grateful if you could please pass on our thanks to the owners of Villa Perego - we think it is absolutely delightful and has added to our enjoyment of our holiday immeasurably. What a wonderful place for some R&R and as a base for exploring the delights of Puglia.
By the way, I hadn’t realised that you were rather a celebrity in these parts. In my holiday reading downloads is a book called ‘Soul of the Heel’ by Scott Bergstein, in which it appears that you play a bit of a starring role!
Many thanks once again. I really hope that we will be back again soon!"
David C. - July 2019 (Through our partners James Villas)
