About this property

Secluded villa with private pool set in its own olive grove

Villa Uliveto is a secluded self-catering modernised farmhouse / villa in its own olive grove in a quiet rural location surrounded by farm land, just 2km from historic Nardo. Set in 2.5 hectares (approximately 7 acres) of private land. There are almost 300 olive trees, citrus fuit trees, walnut tree, fig trees and prickly pears.

In total there are 5 large air-conditioned bedrooms & 2 living areas and a private pool with large tiled terrace. Ideal for those seeking tranquillity & relaxation

It is in the typical Pugliese style of farmhouse, which is not particularly inspiring architecturally, but it does have almost 5 metre high ceilings, so remains cool.

INSIDE - There are two master bedrooms each with its own en suite shower room and a further two twin bedded rooms which sandwich a large communal shower room. Attached, but with its own entrance is a large studio double bedded room with its own shower room. The comfortable lounge / dining room has a flat screen TV and there is a further morning room leading directly on to the fully equipped kitchen
OUTSIDE - Leading from the lounge (through double glass doors) is the 12m pool with crystal clear water. Sunloungers, chairs and tables are provided on the tiled terrace. The perfect place to spend the day with the backdrop of the olive grove, or sit and relax in the evening after a day at the beach or a day exploring the region.

Our family modernised the farmhouse to create Villa Uliveto. The renovation was to a high standard with Italian porcelain tiles covering the newer sections , whilst keeping the patterned floors of the original house. It is in a secluded, semi-rural setting and whilst we have made every effort to modernise our holiday home to a high standard, there are some things that are not to a totally modern standard.

Water is supplied from our own well and is therefore plentiful and without restriction. However, this means that we do not recommend drinking the tap water. Also because it is drawn by electric pump from some 40 metres , this can very occasionally go wrong. There is a full back-up system in place.

Power is supplied by overhead lines and is therefore also subject to very occasional disruption.

The access road from Nardo is quite rough in parts and we always recommend driving with caution.

Waste water and sewage is handled by a septic tank, so please take care what you you put down the drains.

Comfortable location
Great location for a peaceful time away from crowds. Nice country setting but close enough to Nardo for all services and bit further to Lecce being a larger town with more offerings. Also, close to beaches. Great private location.

290 qm Villa und 12 m Pool in super ruhiger Lage
Unser Aufenthalt war super. Die Villa ist sauber und sehr gepflegt. Die Villa ist auf jeden Fall Rollstuhlgerecht, was für uns super war, da wir drei Personen im Rollstuhl dabei hatten. In der Küche war alles was man so braucht, wie z.B. Mikrowelle, Spülmaschine und Waschmaschine. Ein deutsch sprechenden Italiner, den wir jeder Zeit erreichen konnten war super. Und was wir auf jeden Fall hervorheben möchten, vor Reisebeginn der Kontakt zum Vermieter ( Wohnt in England). Wir hatten viele Fragen und die wurden alle beantwortet, per Mail dann per wahtsapp und am Ende sogar per Facetime.

Un deuxième séjour à la Villa Uliveto
Nous étions dans l'impossibilité d'utiliser une des chambres en raison d'une très forte d'odeur de produits de peinture stockés à proximité de la chambre en question et ayant probablement fuit. En conséquence nous avons dû réorganiser les couchages en mode camping avec des adolescents qui ont dormi dans le salon ou dans la chambre des parents. Malgré la réactivité d'Alain et de Luca et l'intervention d'une entreprise de nettoyage l'odeur a persisté pendant tout notre séjour d'une semaine. Je salue la réactivité d'Alain et de Luca suite à la panne d'une des climatisations dans une autre des chambres et qui ont procédé au remplacement immédiat de celle-ci dès le lundi Malgré ces désagréments ce deuxième séjour dans la Villa Uliveto était tout de même agréable Je souligne encore la très grande disponibilité et la gentillesse de Luca avec qui nous avons facilement pu communiquer en Allemand.

Très belle maison avec de belles prestations. L'endroit est suffisamment isolé pour ne pas être gêné par les voisins, mais pas trop pour bénéficier de toutes les commodités à proximité. Les consignes pour l'arrivée et le départ sont claires et tout s'est très bien passé.

Fantastic holiday home near Nardo ideal for families or group of friends
A very spacious and very comfortable villa in a rural area, near Nardo in Puglia. The villa offers a perfect mix of traditional domed farmhouse style rooms coupled with very spacious modern living rooms ideally suited for a large family or group of friends to holiday in comfort. We enjoyed many meals sitting out by the pool overlooking tge villas own olive grove. The local Town of Nardo is a short drive from the house with classic Italian architecture, classic town square with several excellent cafes, restaurants and gelato shops! We enjoyed plenty of meals out ranging from great loxal pizza to fine dining (and people watching in the square with gelato & coffee). The local facilities at Nardo have really improved over recent years in terms of tge range of shops & supermarkets etc for everyday needs. The larger City of Lecce & the beautiful Southern Italian Coastal towns are all within 45 - 60 mins drive making this an ideal base for exploring Puglia.

Villa stupenda... pá gent!
Casa perfetta per gruppi numerosi, spaziosa e luminosa. Isolata e riservata per i più rumorosi. Vai con il karaoke e pool party! In posizione geografica comoda per raggiungere sia Punta Prosciutto sia Gallipoli e le zone più meridionali del Salento. Unico neo la difficoltà nel conferimento dei rifiuti. SIAMO STATI VERAMENTE BENE!

tutto molto bello
abbiamo passato tre settimane indimenticabili nelle villa uliveto. ci è piaciuto molto. la casa, le stanze ed i bagni sono spaziosi. anche la piscina va benissimo per così tante persone. per arrivare in città e al mare c'è bisogno di una macchina, ma sapendo questo non c'è problema. il barbecue fuori è troppo bello.... noi, sicuramente ci torniamo un altro estate.

About the host

Hosted by Alain Harari

Host profile image
Family owned - we were brought up and educated in England and have lived in and around London for most of our lives. Within the family is a wealth of talent in both property development and hospitality. We pride ourselves on high quality development and on ensuring that those who require our services are satisfied with the 'end product'.

Why they chose this property

A bit of a folly! The family was looking for an overseas property to compliment the rental properties that we own in London and the South of England.

The parameters were simple, we were looking for a location within Europe in an 'up and coming' area and flight connections within one hour. Puglia appeared to be the ideal location and after having explored the surrounding area we fell in love.

Sensibly priced, was also a key word and although we spent way over the top on renovating / modernizing the property, the building itself was a 10th of property values in the north of Italy.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful, secluded, relaxed, sedate.
Just a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Of course that means that there is not a large variety of local facilities. If you are looking for clubs, discos, masses of tourists, etc. you will be disappointed.
If on the other hand you are looking for peace and quiet with great local food and wine you will have a great smile on your face!
