About this property

Amazing 11 Bedroom Villa with Pool on the Historic Appian Way

Enjoy an unforgettable, authentic stay in a truly undiscovered part of Italy at Villa Cappelli. Relax and immerse yourself in Italian indulgence — the food, the people, the fun.

The Villa sits majestically on the ancient Via Appia in the town of Terlizzi, just northwest of Bari in the region of Puglia.

No one is quite sure when the villa first sprung up but some historians believe the garden to have once been a 13th century monastic garden. The “farm” buildings on the property probably date to the 14th and 15th centuries. While the newest additions were probably built in the 17th or 18th centuries, one peculiar location in the villa is believed to be pre-Christian.

The land, filled with fossils from 10 million years ago, is covered by ancient olive groves, vineyards, and fruit trees. The entire villa is completely enclosed by an 18 ft. wall and features a formal half-acre garden planted almost exclusively with citrus trees, roses and lavender.

While steeped in history, the villa also features modern conveniences like free WiFi, a fully stocked kitchen, plus cooking and cleaning services.

Relax in comfort with plenty of room for all your friends and family. There are 10 bedrooms and 8 full baths for up to 20 guests (no more than 20 people unless previously agreed upon). You can enjoy lots of common rooms and spread out to enjoy the entire 22,000 sq ft (2000 sq m) structure. Everyone will find their favorite space, with reading rooms, an enormous full kitchen complete with a wood-burning brick oven, an extraordinary large terrace with magnificent views, and a loggia that overlooks the luxurious 40x20 ft pool (12x6 meters), and a huge monastic garden full of citrus trees and fresh herbs. You also find Villa Cappelli is conveniently located close to many major attractions.

You can rent the villa by the day, week or longer. It is also available for private functions, parties, banquets, conferences and feasts.

During your stay, you'll have use of a washer, fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave and more. Maid service as well as shopping and cooking services are also available to make your stay extra enjoyable.

We've had a range of guests enjoy the villa from all over the world, including members of the British royal family, Bob Tuschman of The Food Network, world famous photographer Paul Freeman, stage and TV director Scott Ellis, reality TV star Fredrik Ekland and the music group Elbow.

So whether you're looking to relax with family or go exploring with friends, you can create the perfect holiday here at Villa Cappelli.

There are cats and dogs who also live at the villa, but only outside and normally mind their own business away from guests. The dogs have an outside fenced in area next to the villa.

We have a small apartment on the premises, so we are always available to ask any questions and provide concierge services. We speak English and Italian, and know the area well, so we can help with any concierge services you might need, from cooking and cleaning to van rentals and dinner reservations.

You won’t find an experience like this anywhere else.

Wonderful, magical Villa Cappelli!
My family and I came to Villa Cappelli to spend a week with friends. What a fabulous place to spend our vacation! Our suite was quite lovely (three rooms, sitting room and a bathroom) and the other suites/rooms were just as wonderful. Old school furnishings (but comfy) in keeping with the centuries-old villa. Our hosts were truly welcoming and loads of fun. We learned a lot from Paul, Steven and Casey. AND the food was phenomenal (we arranged to have nightly group dinners at the villa). They also make their own wine, olive oil, conserves. One evening, Paul arranged for a local pizzaca band to come and entertain us. What a treat! The band was fantastic. The villa is close to picture postcard beaches and to a castle. Beautiful Lecce is three-hours away. Lounging around the villa was also terrific - they have a great pool! Our kids loved it at the villa and they loved the Villa Cappelli family (including the three dogs and countless kitties). We highly recommend Villa Cappelli! (and we miss it already)

Fabulous Villa and memories of a lifetime
We stayed at this gorgeous villa to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday. What an incredible week we had. The villa is stunning and huge and has plenty of space for our group of 14. The villa and rooms combined the old with the new. Every single room had its own charm. Steven the owner was so incredibly helpful in suggesting places to visit, restaurants and providing history. One day he took us into town to his favorite cheese shop with the most delicious mozzarella and ricotta cheese, to his butcher and the fruit and vegetable market in addition to a walking tour of Terlizzi. He cooked multi course authentic meals for the Puglia and Terlizzi regions. There were so many courses and so much food one dish better than the next. I could eat Steven and Vito’s cooking every single day. Their wine and after dinner drinks were also delicious. The villa has so much charm and beauty. We took day trips from the villa to explore all that Puglia has to offer. We made memories of a lifetime. Thank you Steven and Vito for every little thing. I hope one day we can go back. We loved our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Steven Crutchfield

Host profile image
We discovered a crumbling villa near our family's hometown in Puglia, Italy. The 22,000-square-foot property lacked doors, windows and running water, but it had a vineyard and groves of almond, olive, and fruit trees that were among the finest in the region. From the moment we stepped foot on this property, we felt that we needed to restore its soul. In the process, it ended up restoring ours.

Why they chose this property

This town, this entire part of Italy in fact, is so real, so amazing, so untouched, it just feels like you are transported back in time. A simpler time. Where it’s all about family. It's all about natural, locally grown food (nothing is ever eaten out of season). It’s all about slowing down and enjoying life. While very private and secluded, the villa is just a quick drive to many big towns, including the capital city of Bari. And there are several great day trips you can do in the morning (Polignano a Mare, Castel del Monte, etc.) and be back in time for a great lunch by the pool with friends and family, old and new.

What makes this property unique

You can take amazing walks along the ancient Via Appia, enjoy some great food at the villa and in town (Terlizzi is renowned for its butchers and grilled meat), or just sit by the pool with a good book and great view. Sitting on top of a hill, you always have amazing views of the surrounding countryside from the villa. We have connections throughout the town and the region, so we can direct you to the best spots to make your stay extra special. And with enough notice, we can set up all kinds of activities. We also speak Italian and English, so we are always available to help with any reservations and such. When you're all done, at the end of the day, you can enjoy a glass of limoncello or grappa and play a round of Scopa, our favorite Italian card game.
