Villa Zio Gennaro is nestled in the picturesque hills of Ostuni, a charming town in the heart of Puglia, Italy. Known as the "White City" for its whitewashed buildings and narrow winding streets, Ostuni offers a blend of history, culture, and stunning landscapes. The villa enjoys a peaceful, secluded location surrounded by nature, yet it is only a short drive from the town centre and a range of local amenities.

In Ostuni, guests can explore the charming historic centre, which is dotted with traditional shops, cafes, and restaurants offering local cuisine. The area is rich in history, with highlights such as the Ostuni Cathedral, a beautiful example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture, and the ancient walls surrounding the old town. For those seeking relaxation, the villa is just a short drive from some of Puglia's finest beaches along the Adriatic coast, where visitors can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and water sports.

The region is also known for its rolling hills and olive groves, perfect for hiking and cycling. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Parco delle Dune Costiere (Coastal Dunes Park), a protected nature reserve offering scenic walking trails and birdwatching opportunities. The famous trulli houses of Alberobello and the unesco-listed cave dwellings of Matera are within a reasonable drive, offering excellent day-trip options.

For a taste of local culture, guests can visit the nearby town of Ceglie Messapica, known for its gastronomy and artisan shops, or explore the charming coastal towns of Monopoli and Polignano a Mare. Additionally, the area is easily accessible from Brindisi and Bari airports, making it an ideal base for exploring the broader Puglia region.
