Set amidst rolling olive groves in the increasingly sought after region of Puglia, Africanum Cervarolo is chic, stylish and luxurious. A property of the highest standards with beach style pool and minimalist interiors.

Africanum Cervarolo is stunning. Renovated and designed to the very highest of standards the property combines minimalist style and modernity with colourful and warm Moorish influences. The combination of an Austrian and Milanese architect with a British interior designer/owner has resulted in a villa which is not only luxurious but is also one of character, impeccable taste and an enticing ambience.

Puglia is famous for its Trulli - the cone-shaped dwellings which have existed since the 18th century were designed with extremely thick stone walls to keep out the strength of the summer sun. Africanum Cervarolo is the clever and tasteful conversion of one of these unique architectural designs into an imaginative holiday home and the owner has successfully blended traditional features with modern minimalist chic. There are gleaming stainless steel kitchen appliances set in rough natural stone, smooth polished concrete bathrooms in cool neutral tones with luxurious white fluffy towels and bedrooms decorated in warm Moorish colours combining perfectly with the white crisp linen on the large and comfortable beds.

Outside is the oasis-inspired beach style pool and here too one finds subtle North African touches with colourful kilims placed underfoot in the exterior sitting and eating areas and desert palms and cycads randomly dotted around the pool. This is a haven for relaxation and the chemical free pool is ideal for those serious swimmers wishing to build up an appetite before yet another delicious Puglian meal. The cuisine here is some of the very best in Italy with excellent full bodied wines from the sun drenched land, fresh fish and all varieties of delicious pasta dishes unique to the area.

One is spoilt for choice when it comes to food and wine making the decision of whether to eat in one of the many local (and inexpensive) restaurants or buy the fresh ingredients readily available and relax in the environment of Africanum Cervarolo creating masterpieces in the modern, ergonomic kitchen (or maybe on the barbecue by the pool) is a hard choice!

Puglia is a region of extreme beauty steeped in history with a plethora of delightful places and sites on offer to the visitor. Sandy beaches, rocky coves and promontories, golf courses, horse riding, the beautiful Baroque city of Lecce and of course, Alberobello – famous as a UNESCO heritage site with its old town lined with trulli. Guests will love the ease of travelling in Puglia as well and the friendliness of the people and Africanum Cervarolo is perfectly situated between the beautiful hilltop white villages of Ostuni and Cisternino from which one can explore the Adriatic and Ionian coastlines with ease.

Africanum Cervarolo is a haven of style, luxury and relaxation.
