The property has a private large kidney shaped swimming pool and full size tennis court. Cisternino and Ostuni are just minutes away by car. Here you can wander the cobbled ancient streets, enjoy the best food in Italy, meet the friendliest locals and enjoy a great market selling everything from local produce to the famous Francavilla pottery. The whole region is widely considered to be one of the most unspoilt in Italy - un vero paradiso! The villa is a pleasant 15 minute drive to the best family beaches in the area.

Notes on accommodation
The villa and grounds extensive. The property is wonderful for families holidaying together but works equally well for smaller parties wanting more privacy.
The refurbishment of Villa Sant'Annina has been a real labour of love. The kitchens and bathrooms are all brand new and the whole property has been redecorated and refurbished throughout. We adore this house and hope you do to! Bath towels and linens are all provided. Beach towels not included.
There is a washing machine for communal use in a small wash house. This is available for use between 9 and 11.30am each day.
Outside
The grounds extend to 9000 sq.m. of olive, almond and fruit trees. There are plenty of lovely places to sit outside, around the pool beneath a shaded gazebo and on the private terraces and roof terrace. The grounds are very typical of the area and offer a mini garden of eden with a wonderful selection of citrus, olive, almond and soft fruit trees. We even have a large avocado tree! The grounds are quite rugged in places and great for walking around and for kids to explore. They are definitely not Kew Gardens and there are no neat rows of pansies....which is why we love them so much! The grounds, pool and tennis court are for the exclusive use of our guests. The tennis court is a full sized court but the surface is not perfect. It is great for some fun games. The beautiful pool is great for children and adults with shallow and deep ends (please ensure that children are supervised at all times – there is no lifeguard!). Barbeques, tables and chairs are provided for al fresco dining.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach is a beautiful 15 minute drive. This is the best family beach in the area, with water sports, fabulous beach restaurant, bar, sunbeds etc. The Puglian coastline offers some 500 miles of white sandy beaches. Whilst the local beach is our family favourite, there are beaches for every taste from tiny rugged coves to beautiful white sandy nature reserves.
Special interest holidays
For a fee we can offer: horse riding, cookery classes, art classes, guided tours, Italian classes, shopping and dinner party service, baby sitting and maid service.
Travel
Ryanair, Alitalia and British Airways fly to Bari or Brindisi airports. Brindisi is our favourite (Ryanair or Alitalia from Stansted or Heathrow) and is about 35 minutes away by car. There is also a port at Brindisi offering ferries to Greece. Bari airport is about 55 minutes away.

There are 500 miles of sandy coastline with blue star beaches in this region.You will be spoilt for choice!
