About This Country House
The real Puglia
A Family Home Rooted in the Puglian Countryside
Villetta Uliveto was created as a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the quieter side of southern Italy.
Hosted by Juliette and Franco, along with our housekeeper Marilena, our home offers guests a peaceful and authentic stay surrounded by olive groves, fruit trees, and generations of family history in the heart of Puglia.

Comfortable interiors, peaceful surroundings, and everything you need for a relaxed stay in the countryside near Cisternino.
Main Bedroom
Cool, Comfortable, and Peacefully Simple

The Kitchen
Cook with Market Finds and Local Flavours
The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for easy holiday cooking — from leisurely breakfasts before the beach to simple dinners enjoyed on the veranda. Open the doors to let the breeze drift through while preparing meals with fresh local ingredients, and later relax while you let the dishwasher take care of the dishes.
Living Room
A Cool Escape After Sun-Filled Days
The comfortable living room is designed for relaxed evenings, planning tomorrow’s adventures, or escaping the midday heat. Air conditioning keeps the space cool during summer, while the open layout allows fresh air to circulate throughout the house. Use our Wi-FI to connect to the HEOS bluetooth speaker and let your favourite tunes float around the house or out the window as you relax on the veranda. Fancy a night in? Cards, games or puzzles, you’ll find a selection to keep you entertained on the extending table.
Veranda & Outdoor Living
Long Lunches, Evening Wine, and Olive Grove Views
The heart of Villetta Uliveto is the large shaded veranda — a peaceful outdoor space surrounded by countryside views. Enjoy breakfast in the cooler morning shade, lazy afternoons on the outdoor sofa, or sunset dinners with local wine and fresh produce from nearby markets.
An outdoor dining table, the warm breeze and surrounding fruit trees make outdoor living an essential part of the experience.

Authentic, Peaceful, and Wonderfully Unpolished
Villetta Uliveto is not a polished magazine villa — and that’s exactly its charm. This is a real countryside home shaped by family history, local traditions, and the slower rhythm of life in Puglia. Expect rustic surroundings, warm hospitality, long quiet evenings, and the kind of peacefulness that encourages you to truly switch off.
