Once a fortified farm known as a Masseria, Villa Coki still displays some of its sturdy stone walls and unique features from its rich history. Alongside the iconic 'trulli-style' roofs native to the Apulian region and white-washed walls, the villa seamlessly blends its history with contemporary touches. It is equipped with modern conveniences and luxurious amenities to cater to all guests during their stay.
This villa embodies the charm of an Italian home, and its unique heritage sets it apart. The spacious exterior offers a stone patio surrounded by comfortable seating amidst mature olive trees, providing shady spots under their wide branches. Sun loungers are strategically placed around the pool for optimal sunbathing. If the sun becomes too intense, the refreshing swimming pool at the rear of the villa is perfect for a cooling dip.
While the expansive outdoor space invites leisure, the interior radiates a rustic aesthetic with exposed stonework and wooden beams adding to its charm. Shelves inset into the walls save floor space, and a blend of contemporary and antique furnishings decorate each room, creating an eclectic style. The rooms are cosy, efficiently using the available space. The small sitting room, with two couches and a table and chairs, is ideal for relaxing in front of the TV between excursions or during inclement weather.
The kitchen, with direct access to the stone patio, makes outdoor dining irresistible. A private chef, well-versed in Italian cuisine and local produce, ensures a delightful dining experience. The fully equipped kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, set in a spacious room with arched stone ceilings and wide wooden beams overhead. It also serves as a dining area when outdoor dining is not feasible.
The bedrooms are modest and snug, providing a charming retreat for a restful night's sleep. Nestled beneath the domed roofs and stone archways of the trulli's structure, luxurious beds with soft linens and plush pillows ensure the utmost comfort. The master suite boasts an en-suite bathroom with a double sink vanity area and bathtub, while the remaining four bedrooms have en-suites equipped with showers.
