opera

For over six centuries, this majestic luxury holiday villa in Puglia has dominated vineyards and olive trees and is now available for rent for a charming Italian vacation.
This historical mansion, originally built in the 15th century as a medieval tower, is now a majestic manor house, representing a genuine reflection of the greatness of Baroque architecture and refined design details. The external façade of the palace, enhanced by decorations engraved in local stones, highlights the importance and noble origins of the founder family of this manor.
The indoor environments are embellished by frescoes, vaults and arches, and representations of noble emblems as well. Opera is the ultimate getaway for a unique villa stay filled with tranquillity and peaceful countryside, surrounded by nothing but citrus groves, centuries-old olive trees, and a bucolic landscape extending as far as the eye can see. The external park is a calm oasis where refined guests can pamper themselves with leisurely swim retreats in the luxury private pool or just soak in rays of sunshine on cosy deckchairs. The mild climate allows savvy travellers to spend pleasant days outdoors and organize open-air activities through the colder seasons as well as to enjoy the beauty of Puglia and its fascinating nuances during every month of the year. Refined guests will also have the opportunity to experience organic products grown around villa Opera, varying from fruit to legumes according to the season.
This charming estate features four double bedrooms, each one showing an authentic Apulian style and a neutral colour palette to put in evidence the wise use of the finest local stone to create a unique identity for this villa. A comfortable sitting area is warmed up by a fireplace to create a sense of intimacy and peacefulness that only a home can provide. In the same open space, the spacious dining area is brightened by a floor-to-ceiling window which permits direct access to the garden. Featuring a large and rustic wooden table and completed by chairs displaying the same style, this is the perfect area to gather with loved ones during special meals.
Villa Opera comes with an additional value related to its fabulous location: with just a few minutes' car drive, sea lovers will be able to reach the most charming beaches on the Ionian coast and highly renowned white sandy beaches brightened up by crystal-clear waters. For travellers seeking city tours and ready to dive into history and architecture, Opera is nestled among several baroque towns brimming with historical mansions and authentic Apulian Masserias.
