Villa Fedalì With Pool, Francavilla Fontana, Italy

Escape to this countryside pool retreat in Francavilla Fontana, surrounded by olive trees and set up to welcome 8 guests across four bedrooms. Inside, two easy sitting areas, one built around a fireplace, sit alongside a long dining table and open through to an air-conditioned living space; the open-plan kitchen is finished in crisp white cabinetry with a coffee machine, dishwasher, microwave, oven, induction hob and fridge, so self-catering for a group feels effortless rather than a chore.

Step outside and the villa comes into its own: a private, unheated swimming pool stretches across a manicured lawn dotted with mature olive trees, while a stone-and-timber pergola shelters a long wooden table for al fresco meals and a separate lounging corner with a hanging egg chair invites lazy afternoons. A paved relax area and private outdoor seating round out a garden built for slow days in the Puglian sun.

Location

The villa sits in a quiet pocket of the Francavilla Fontana countryside, with the town itself close by for stocking up on groceries and everyday supplies. A local water park is just a 10-minute walk or a 3-minute drive away, easy for an afternoon with children, while the whitewashed hilltop town of Ostuni and the beaches and protected coastline of the Torre Guaceto nature reserve are both 30 to 45 minutes away. The Primitivo di Manduria wine country is roughly half an hour\'s drive, and the Baroque city of Lecce, the trulli of Alberobello and the cliffside town of Polignano a Mare are all around an hour away, with the cave city of Matera and the seaside town of Gallipoli reachable in about an hour and a half. Brindisi Airport is roughly a 30-minute drive, and intercity transport is available within walking distance.
