Villa Miller — Property 2995

English Family-run B&B
Traditional English bed and breakfast accommodation in beautiful Puglia. Located well off the main road, the rural idyll is only disturbed by the sounds of the countryside. The modern villa stands within its own olive grove which also includes fruit and nut trees providing an ideal destination for those seeking relief from the stress and noise of city and business life. The immediate area provides miles of tracks to walk and enjoy the countryside while further afield there is hustle and bustle in the historical towns of the southern Murge region - Ostuni, Cisternino, Ceglie Messapica, and Martina Franca - all within about 10km to 20km drive, and further north along the Valle d’Itria are the famous attractions of Locorotondo, Alberobello, Castellane Grotte and many more. The coast is about 15km away, where pretty harbours and sandy inlets provide a variety of seaside opportunities. The local golf course at San Domenico is less than 30km distant.

Ostuni

The 18-hole San Domenico Golf course lies near the small fisherman village of Savelletri, with its southern boundary as close to the sea as the road and rocky coastline will allow. To the north are the olive groves and agricultural fields the site was once part of. The formerly flat and featureless land is now a challenging 18 hole golf course which offers an unforgettable experience for visitors and superb view of the Adriatic Sea from every tee, green and fairway. Designed to the European Golf Design, the course measures over 6300 meters, has a par of 72 and has been constructed to the highest standards, with greens conforming to USGA Specifications. As it is to be expected from a golf course so close to the sea, wind can play a significant role in the challenge of the course. Together with strategic bunkering, definitive fairway shaping and clever green design, a thought provoking test of golf has been set. This has been complemented by incorporating local plants into the design of the course, which can be seen occupying great waste areas weaving their way in and around the golf holes. These are areas where local rock, has been left in place, having first been crushed to a granular material and re-contoured to become part of the species common to this region, thereby ensuring that the golf course retains a local identity.
