Villa Ribezzo

About this property

Villa Ribezzo is a modern, minimalist style villa with a private pool, standing in a secluded clearing amid thick olive tree groves. This property is refreshingly stylish whilst still honouring the Salentine culture through the interior décor, and using traditional methods of construction to produce an authentic Puglia villa with all contemporary conveniences.

At this destination you are only 2 kilometres from the quaint historic old town of Ugento that remains endearingly peaceful and unspoilt. A few minutes more and you meet with the clear and tepid waters of the Ionian Sea, with miles of sandy beaches to choose from. Staying in Puglia ensures you are never far from the Sea, due to its long, thin shape that forms the heel of the Italy's boot.

Alternatively, stay on site and enjoy the spacious patio area decorated with tasteful furnishings, and complete with an outdoor cooking area equipped with a cooker, sink and barbeque, and a large stone pergola for al-fresco dining.

The elements that characterise the Puglia region make it an ideal destination for a holiday of relaxation and indulgence, along a beautiful coastline dotted with tiny secret coves to discover. A divine culinary heritage that utilizes both ingredients from the coast and interior countryside, and fascinating architecture, Greek, Norman, Baroque, you name it.

Puglia is an oasis of vineyards, olive mills, castles and cathedrals. Forests of olive trees, with winding branches, line the side of the highway all the way from Bari International Airport, breaking every so often to accommodate one of the many sprawling vineyards.

Summertime in Puglia is hot, vivacious and welcoming. The festivals from July to September offer visitors a glimpse into the past, present and future of Southern Italy, where locals demonstrate their proud Medieval heritage, distinct cuisine and unique identity in all its theatrical colour.

Puglia is one of Italy's best kept secrets; quiet and tranquil – a place where visitors can travel back in time and discover a rural, relaxed Italy. Yet in true Italian tradition, summer heralds the festival season across the medieval towns of Puglia; setting the stage for religious and historical celebrations that are full of music, colour and passion.

British Airways and Ryanair offer up to seven flights a week to Bari, whilst Ryanair offers an additional three flights a week to Brindisi.

Ugento is a town and comune in Italy. It has a small harbour, and is situated in the province of Lecce, in Apulia, on the Gulf of Taranto (Ionian Sea). It includes the frazioni of Gemini and Torre San Giovanni. The city is the ancient Uxentum, and claims to have been founded by Uxens. In 1537 it was destroyed by the Turks, and under Byzantine domination it had Greek bishops.
