Situated on the southern Murge plateau between the Itria Valley, Murge countryside and upper Salento, this extraordinary 14th-century fortified estate is among Puglia’s most significant historic properties. Extending across 20 hectares, this restored complex measures 2,150 sqm and includes a ducal castle with a crenellated tower, a consecrated chapel, a historic oil mill converted into a restaurant, an underground ice house and cistern, a medieval wine press, stables and traditional farm buildings. Carefully restored under the supervision of heritage authorities, the estate retains its remarkable historical authenticity. The property offers nine bedrooms and suites with nine bathrooms, blending contemporary comfort with original features such as Lecce stone, barrel vaults, terracotta floors and monumental fireplaces. The former underground oil mill now serves as an atmospheric restaurant, while the rare ice house provides a unique underground passage. Surrounded by 1,430 monumental olive trees across four hectares and additional protected parkland, the estate also features a swimming pool and 23 parking spaces, making it ideal for luxury hospitality or private use.
Villa Castelli is located in Puglia, Italy, offering a tranquil countryside setting with easy access to Brindisi Airport (30 min) and major train stations in Brindisi (45 min). The area features authentic dining and cultural heritage sites, with renowned golf clubs within an hour’s drive.
