Villa Ozy

A quiet, modern retreat between the olive groves and the sea.

Benvenuti

An unhurried corner of the south of Italy.

Villa Ozy sits in the open countryside between Carovigno and San Vito dei Normanni, a few minutes from the turquoise coves of the Adriatic and a short drive from the white-stone hill town of Ostuni. The villa is built in the local idiom — dry-laid limestone, lime-washed walls, barrel-vaulted ceilings of chiancarelle — and finished with a clean, contemporary hand.

Outside, a long mirror-still pool runs through a grove of ancient olive trees. A bamboo-shaded terrace stretches the length of the house, set for long lunches that drift into the cicada-loud afternoon. Inside, stone vaults and pale plaster keep the rooms cool, even in August.

It is, simply, a good place to stop moving for a week.

The essentials

What you'll find here.

The spaces

Inside & out.

Stone-vaulted dining hall with long wooden table and open kitchen

The living rooms

The heart of the villa is a long, light-filled room beneath a barrel vault of stacked stone. A wood-burner anchors one end, the kitchen the other, and tall glass doors fold open onto the terrace and the garden beyond.

A second sitting room — quieter, with a deep sofa, a low table and a view of the pool — opens off to the side.

Master bedroom with iron bed and stone-vaulted ceiling, warm wall sconces

The bedrooms

Each bedroom sits beneath its own stone vault, finished in soft plaster, linen and natural wood. The principal room takes an iron bed under a glowing chiancarelle vault; the others share the same quiet, restful palette.

Every room has air conditioning and blackout shutters.

The terrace

A bamboo-roofed pergola runs the length of the south side of the house, set with a long table for eight and threaded with festoon lights for dinner. There is a barbecue, a second outdoor sitting area, and an open-air stone basin for rinsing feet and watering glasses of wine.

The pool & garden

The pool is long, simple, and lit at night. Around it, mature olive trees give shade through the day. After sunset, the trees are uplit and the festoon lights come on — the garden becomes a room of its own.

Villa Ozy is in the countryside between Carovigno and the Adriatic coast, in the Brindisi province of Puglia. The closest beaches are the long, dune-backed strands of the Torre Guaceto nature reserve and the clear water of Specchiolla and Punta Penna Grossa.
