villa sale

Upon arriving at Villa Sale, a historic holiday villa for rent in Puglia, you are immediately struck by the singularity of this spacious property. It is not the typical collection of trulli or masserias, the traditional dwellings often associated with Puglia. Instead, Villa Sale is a former convent dating back to the 1500s, which, over the centuries, has been transformed into a rustic estate for vacation rentals in Italy.
The villa retains the unique charm of its monastic origins, with thick stone walls and intricately intersecting vaulted ceilings that speak to its centuries-old architecture. When it was later converted into a stately home, the ceilings were adorned with delicate frescoes and stuccoes, adding an extra layer of beauty and refinement.
Villa Sale features six bedrooms, four of which are located within the main house. Two of the main house's four bedrooms are on the ground floor and are accessible from the outdoors, each with its own private entrance. The other bedrooms of the main house are located upstairs, on the first floor. Two additional bedrooms are located in the nearby separate guest house, each accessible from the outside.
The estate is situated on over six hectares of farm land, and the villa is surrounded by ancient stone walls that give the property the feel of a secluded fortress. Inside these protective walls, you’ll find a long, 25-metre swimming pool and several tastefully furnished gazebos, perfect spots to unwind and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.
Inside the villa, the original structure of the convent has been thoughtfully preserved. Bare stone walls and frescoed ceilings provide a stunning historical backdrop, creating an atmosphere that feels like a journey back in time. The interiors are simply furnished in a style that combines local antiques with modern design classics.
Villa Sale is located just thirty minutes from the sea and about five kilometres from the charming and tourist-friendly town of Mesagne, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking both tranquillity and cultural exploration.
