Perched atop its own private hill, this stunning three-bedroom villa is surrounded by rolling grain fields and offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the Lucanian countryside. At the center of the property is a magnificent heated infinity pool, where you can relax while taking in sweeping vistas and unforgettable sunsets each evening.

The villa is thoughtfully designed on a single level, with spacious, well-proportioned rooms featuring marble floors, soaring vaulted ceilings in warm Pugliese yellow stone, and elegant French doors that open directly onto the pool deck, shaded stone loggias, and expansive terraces. In 2025, brand-new split-system air conditioning units were installed in every bedroom and the main living space, ensuring strong and effective cooling throughout the villa. Indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly, creating the perfect setting for relaxing, dining, and entertaining.

The bathrooms feature Philippe Starck and Grohe fittings with large walk-in showers, while the chef’s kitchen is equipped with custom LadyCucine cabinetry and Siemens appliances, ideal for preparing meals with fresh local ingredients.

Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the villa is perfectly located for exploring the region. The historic center of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its ancient cave dwellings, exceptional restaurants, and boutique hotels, is just 14 km away. Spend your days wandering through the Sassi, dining in Michelin-rated restaurants or traditional trattorias carved into the stone.

Within a 30-minute drive you can reach the beautiful sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea, while many of Puglia’s most charming towns — including Alberobello, Ostuni, and Monopoli — are all within about an hour’s drive. Bari International Airport is also conveniently located less than an hour away.

Whether you're enjoying sunset by the pool, exploring the historic villages of Basilicata and Puglia, or simply soaking in the tranquility of the countryside, this villa offers an unforgettable Southern Italy escape.

    The villa was beautiful and exactly as the images. The aircon was brilliant and we have plenty of space as a family of 4. We spent most of our time around the pool or cooking on the BBQ. Matera was lovely to visit and only around 15 minutes by car. Most of the restaurants didn't open until around 7:30 or 8pm which was a shock for us when we got there at 5:30 with young children looking for somewhere to eat. That was fine though once we realised. Ristorante Pizzeria Matera in the old part of Matera right on the square was lovely and did really good priced (and very big!) pizzas for less than 10 euros - which our children said were the best Pizzas they'd ever had!

    We were a family of 5 and had the most incredible stay at this hilltop villa! The 360 views of the countryside are breathtaking, and the infinity pool is absolutely perfect for relaxing at sunset. The villa itself is spotless, stylish, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay.It feels private and peaceful, yet it’s only a short drive to Matera’s historic Sassi district. Our host was welcoming and helpful, making the whole experience effortless. We didn’t want to leave—highly recommended!”We are coming back next year.

    Beautiful Villa and amazing views. Pictures don’t serve it justice. Missing it already, will definitely be back. Matera is also very beautiful and very close by.

    This villa was absolutely amazing with amazing views. The host was so helpful and kind. We have never stayed anywhere where they treated us so well. Everyday they left us a gift, fresh eggs, fresh fruit, and pastries to take on the road. We only had 3 days but we all wished we had more time there. We had 3 couples and it was perfect with the outdoor area and pool! Highly recommend!

    The villa more than lived up to the photos and descriptions. Stunning hilltop location that offered privacy, 360–degree views, and easy access to Matera and a couple of small charming towns, as well as day trips to the higher-profile tourist towns like Polignano, Alberobello, etc…. The accommodations were pristine, spacious and well laid out. The groundskeeper (Marcello) is there every morning at 7:00 to clean the pool and any other maintenance needs. The owner (Giulio) checked in with us by text on a regular basis to make sure we were well looked after. Stunning sunset was a perfect backdrop for my daughter getting engaged there!! Truly wonderful place/experience.

    We are a family of four visiting Southern Italy, and this villa was the perfect place for us to spend time together for rest, relaxation, and fun. The villa and its location exceeded our expectations. The owner, Giulio, is a fantastic host and very communicative, ensuring we had everything we needed. The villa itself is stunning, offering breathtaking views and beautiful sunsets. The house is well-equipped with all the amenities you could wish for, providing plenty of space for everyone to either enjoy their own activities or come together for family time. There are convenient supermarkets about a 15-minute drive away towards Matera. Overall, we highly recommend this villa and its location to anyone looking to explore this region while also enjoying some peace and quiet. It was an unforgettable experience, and we would love to return in the future.

    We are two young families who booked this wonderful property to use as a home base for traveling around together in Southern Italy and we are so glad we did. The home's proximity to Matera is perfect as it was only a 10 min drive and we were able to explore the city daily (the owner's recommendations for dining and sites were spot on) and then return to the expansive property and enjoy wine and the breathtaking sunsets while the kids played in the huge pool. The home is extremely well laid out with the children occupying one room and the adults in the other two rooms (one child choose to sleep on the huge sectional in the living room...all the furniture is different and ten times better than the photos which the owners should update). The entire property is extremely private and secure and proved to be a perfect base to explore other Puglia sites as it was only about an hour to get to most landmarks and towns. A final shout out to the grounds keeper Marcello who was extremely kind and helpful. Highly recommend this property!
