Just 12 kilometers away is the jewel of a town, Giovinazzo, on the Adriatic. It features the most romantic tiny fishing port and some spectacular medieval architecture. |

Polignano a Mare, just 10 minutes away from the Villa, is a sight to behold. It sits on a rocky promontory that juts into the sea. Bari, the capital of Puglia, boasts the remains of St. Nicholas (yes, Santa Claus) among many other gems. |

A half-hour’s drive inland from the Villa is the spectacular Castel del Monte. Built by Frederick II, the Swabian king and Holy Roman Emperor, it is a mystical edifice with a 360 degree view of northern Puglia — from the Murge all the way to the Gargano peninsula. |
