We are proud to say that we boast an incomparable and rare location actually inside the Alta-Murgia National park, and within walking distance of a UNESCO world heritage site “Castel del Monte”. Beautiful landscapes dotted with “trulli”, wild flowers of all imaginable shape and colour, and a plethora of wildlife; (you might even find yourself barbequing with the lights of the fireflies) Alta-Murgia national park or “the Murgia” as known to the locals, is truly a place on earth like no other. Everyday is a new and exciting experience when living so close to nature. The casa itself is humble and with history- it has been passed down through generations by an Italian family who have used it as a summer house. The casa does not offer "luxury" per se, but instead offers families, travellers and small groups, an economical and functional living environment with charming interiors and full amenities for authentic southern Italian living in the middle of the wild Murgia. Quirks of the casa Include a unique, fully heated “nature shower” in the garden (plus also an indoors shower) hand-built from stone, as well as an outdoors cooking area with BBQ the casa boasts a lot of private, gated land.

Usually there will be someone on site at Check-in to welcome you and help with directions if needed, Francesco (Italian and English speakers)On rare occasions that is it not possible, we will let you know the arrangements for the Key locker at the front of the property. We live in the next town of Corato and will remain available throughout your stay for any questions or concerns you might have

In respects to the location of the casa within the region of Puglia, we are lucky enough to be situated right in the middle of various splendours- we have the gorgeous beaches of Biscelgie (30min drive) and world class beaches in Lecce to the south (2h), as well as the indisputable gems of Southern Italy such as Alberobello (1.5h) away, and Polignano a Mare(55min) a short drive to the north. The city of Bari also nearby (1h) for those who may wish to explore a true southern Italian city- try our famous Barese Foccacia, do some shopping, and wonder through the old town, where you can catch a glimpse of the famous “Nunzia” Orecchiette ladies at work making pasta in the streets!
