Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the serene countryside between Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica, in the heart of the Itria Valley, Villa Belkis is a sophisticated modern-style vacation rental set within the Apulian landscape of San Michele Salentino, Italy. The villa is enveloped by an expansive fenced park of approximately 6,000 square meters, adorned with centuries-old olive trees, Mediterranean shrubs, and fragrant aromatic herbs, creating a tranquil and picturesque retreat. Built entirely on a single level, the property masterfully blends traditional architectural elements — including classic stone vaults and thick white walls — with contemporary design, resulting in interiors that are both cool and inviting. Guests benefit from seamless connectivity through Wi-Fi internet access throughout the property, while a dedicated parking area beyond the entrance gate accommodates up to 5 cars, 2 of which are sheltered under a canopy. The surrounding yard extends generously across the grounds, offering a variety of outdoor spaces designed for leisure and relaxation. The property has undergone a thorough check-up carried out by one of the technical managers to guarantee the correspondence of the description, the accessories listed on the site, and their state of operation and maintenance.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of Villa Belkis are thoughtfully designed to make the most of the Apulian countryside setting. Just beyond the entrance gate, a gazebo marks the welcoming approach to the villa. Outside the kitchen and dining area, a furnished veranda opens directly onto the garden, where outdoor sofas are arranged around a suspended fireplace, creating an atmospheric al fresco living room. A few steps from the veranda, the pool area forms the centerpiece of the outdoor experience. The rectangular pool measures 12 x 5 meters, with a depth ranging from 1 to 1.60 meters, and features a PVC lining, a salt purification system, and both indoor and outdoor lighting. Access is provided via 3 submerged steps, and a large waterfall decorates one side of the pool, producing natural water features and colorful reflections. The surrounding solarium is paved with anti-slip Albanian stone and furnished with sun loungers and umbrellas on one side, while a built-in sofa with waterproof cushions occupies the lower end, beside which a cold water shower is installed. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. Adjacent to the pool, a spacious patio features a dining table, an outdoor kitchen equipped with a cooktop, a stone sink, and a barbecue, as well as a charming herb garden. The fenced park is planted with bay laurel, rosemary, and lavender, and includes a dedicated golf training area featuring a professional practice station set in the greenery and equipped with a golf mat suitable for practicing all types of shots. A laundry room is also located in one corner of the garden.

Villa Belkis is configured on a single level and comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests across 3 double bedrooms, each served by its own en suite bathroom, for a total of 3 bathrooms. The ground floor opens with an entrance into a well-appointed kitchen with a dining area, from which sliding glass doors lead directly onto the veranda used as an outdoor living room. 2 of the double bedrooms are located on this same level, each furnished with a king-size bed — one of which is convertible into a twin configuration — and both feature an en suite bathroom with shower as well as direct access to the garden. The third bedroom is a suite with independent access from the veranda, also furnished with a king-size bed and a private bathroom with shower.
