The Farm

Villa Agreste, a Farm in Ostuni.

Villa Agreste is a nineteenth century rural property located in the countryside of Ostuni, between the High Salento and Valle d’Itria. Since 1995 the IAIA’s family manage it with all the love that a three generation of olive grower’s family can give. The name Villa Agreste expresses a double vocation: love for hospitality and love for the land.

The farm offers six independent apartments all with an outdoor courtyard furnished with table and chairs. You will enjoy the taste of the traditional products of Puglia’s generous land cooking at home and dining out at candlelight. At Villa Agreste we appreciate both the warmth of small talking with our families around the table and silence. The offer is completed with Wi-Fi, pool, bike rental, a bike path that runs along the perimeter of the 14 hectares of terraced land that surrounds the holiday farmhouse.
