Villa Margareta - Luxury villa with private pool and seaview

Villa Margareta is a contemporary home inspired by the proportions and simplicity of a traditional farmhouse. Set in an open landscape, it offers a calm and comfortable setting for time spent together with family or friends.



Interiors are light-filled and understated, designed to feel welcoming rather than formal. Clean lines, thoughtful materials, and carefully chosen furnishings create spaces that are easy to live in, with an emphasis on comfort and balance.



Just a few minutes’ drive away lies Ostuni, the White City, offering an easy connection to local life, historic streets, and the surrounding countryside.



Villa Margareta is a place to settle into a relaxed rhythm — where days unfold naturally between shared moments indoors and time spent outside, surrounded by open views.



Space:



The villa opens onto a terrace with wide sea views and a saltwater swimming pool, offering space to move easily between sun and shade throughout the day.



Four double bedrooms and each with its own en-suite bathroom, provide privacy and comfort for every guest. The layout allows shared living to flow naturally, while making it easy to retreat into quieter spaces when needed.



Villa Margareta offers a simple balance of openness and ease — well suited to groups who value space, light, and time together.

Beautiful villa and great service

We stayed four nights at the beautiful Villa Margareta via Puglia Paradise. We had such an amazing experience; not only is the villa absolutely stunning with everything you need for the perfect holiday (and then some!) but the team were also super helpful and made sure our stay was as smooth as possible. The villa is by far one of the best places I have ever stayed at. I can whole-heartedly recommend booking via Puglia Paradise, and hope to be back in Puglia.

Fabulous Villa

We have rented a number of villas over the last 10 years and can honestly say this was one of the best. The modern style, the beautiful accommodations, the sea view, the pool, the services offered by the management company Puglia Paradise - all made for a wonderful week. We were 4 couples and we all loved it. Each bedroom was an ensuite and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. Even when we had an issue with the a/c Massimo responded with a fix within an hour. If you go, be sure and book the pizza making class. It was so much fun and the pizzas cooked in the wood fired oven there were delicious.

Amazing stay in stunning villa in Puglia

The villa is even more stunning in real. Modern, clean, all the amenities needed, calm, private and very well taken care of. The pool and view from the terrace instantly put you on holiday mood. Even though we weren't there in summer and could not use the pool, the villa and sun of Puglia offered our family a great holiday. The villa is also amazingly located in Puglia. Close to beautiful Ostuni, just 30-40 min max from all the towns that are worth visiting and 15min from beautiful beaches. Ideal location! But of course, this stay was made even better by the outstanding service provided by Puglia Paradise and Massimo. Always on call, ready to help and give us useful tips on the region. Thanks again for making our Easter break so restful and enjoyable. We will be back!!

Villa Margareta Exceeded Expectations

We were a group of eight that visited Puglia at the end of September. Villa Margareta exceeded all of our expections! It is beautifully designed and elegantly and comfortably appointed! From the gorgeous bedrooms with ensuite to the bocce court! There is plenty of seating in all areas of the interior and exterior. A gorgeous salt water pool with beautiful views of the Adriatic! A rooftop bar with views of the olive groves and the Adriatic! A very well equipped massive kitchen and gas range. Angela was very responsive and met all of our needs! The pizza night was exceptional and the array and variation of antipasti and pizza was incredible! Thanks very much Puglia Paradise! We hope to back one day!!

PERFECT STAY

We absolutely loved EVERYTHING about Villa Margareta and we will for sure come back next summer ! It's a solid modern villa built in the classic Puglia style with beautiful stones typical of the area . Furnished exquisitely and with everything you'd need for your perfect stay (and then some!) . Massimo and Angela were on top of evreything and communucation was on point . The villa even has it's own production of olive oil (which is delicious btw) and a beautiful edible garden with tomatoes , peppers and every herb imaginable . Also figs (in summer) and delicious grapes ! It's situated just a few minutes away from Ostuni , by far our favorite town off the Adriatic coast . We want to thanks Villa Margareta's ownners for sharing their own piece of heaven with us and Puglia Paradise for an OUTSTANDING job as property managers and hosts . We shall return .... again and again !

Perfect in every way

From the moment we booked this property the service was excellent; communication was regular, detailed, helpful. The property manager was on hand 24 hrs a day and responded to requests promptly. A small leak in one bathroom was dealt with within an hour. The property itself was lovely , very clean, well maintained. As a family of 5 , with 2 teenagers, we loved the pool and the boule area. There were many discrete spaces in the large garden where we could all be together, or separate for quiet individual reading time. The BBQ and Pizza oven by the pool were brilliant, so evening meals al fresco were magic as darkness fell and the lights around the terraces and gardens came on automatically. There is plenty to do locally and Ostuni, only a few minutes away by car boasts many good restaurants.

My party of five family and friends stayed at the Villa Margareta, one of Puglia Paradise's five-star properties, for five nights in June 2019. The house's location is perfect for visiting the charming hilltop town of Ostuni, only a five minute's drive. From the villa we also visited Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, Lecce, and Matera (do not miss it). It was tough to leave Villa Margareta as it was so beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. The outdoor area is phenomenal with so many areas to lounge in, a sparkling pool that was quite warm, and even a pizza oven, which we used one night. The bedrooms are outstanding. The linens, towels, mattresses and pillows are all excellent. The kitchen and living room are amazing. The furniture and design is out of Architectural Digest. I was especially impressed with the service that this agency provided. The home's property manager, Angela, was so helpful, from making dinner reservatio

Definitely the most exquisite home we have ever stayed in. Four large bedrooms each with their own en suite bathroom. Well designed and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything you could ever want. Our amazing Guest Angel (Sara) welcomed us and had a fridge stocked with lots of water and a tray of snacks. She made beach club and restaurant reservations for us months in advance of our arrival and made so many last minute changes we requested and new arrangements during our stay. The a/c was powerful and a cleaning crew came mid-stay to refresh our linens. Beautiful huge pool overlooking a breathtaking view of the ocean. We used the pizza oven as well with the help of a chef who visited our villa 2 nights (arranged by our Angel Sara). The area was safe, the property was huge and the grounds seemed endless. There was a locked gate at the end of the driveway as well. Everything was perfect! Puglia is magical and this luxurious home only adds to that aura. Thank you Massimo, Sara and Chef Roberto!! We cannot wait to return to paradise.

We have spent several holidays with Puglia Paradise and we can only say good things about them. The villas are always beautifully finished, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped and managed. Any question we had whether about the villa itself or the towns, restaurants or area has always been answered almost immediately by WhatsApp by the Puglia Paradise team. An all round excellent company, we would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to visit this lovely region of IT. Rachel Murray

This home met every expectation we all had. It was stunning. The views were to die for, the kitchen was fully equipped with great cookware, even Le Creuset pans. The 4 bedrooms all had king size beds and were extremely comfortable. We also appreciated the dishwasher. This home is quite close to Ostuni so picking up groceries from Familia was very easy, or having dinner in town was also very convenient. Angelina, our concierge, was so accommodating, nothing was too difficult for her. We appreciated how quickly she responded and got us what we needed. Thank you again for ensuring our group had a fabulous holiday. Jessie & Larry

We stayed at Villa Margareta (very close to Ostuni) for 5 nights. What an incredible experience! We were a group of 8 people, celebrating various life milestones, including a 70th birthday, and wanted a luxurious home base in Puglia. Puglia Paradise and their team were gracious hosts, and the villa was breathtaking! All the conveniences of a home away from home, and perfect for relaxing days by the pool, or day trips to the all the amazing towns and beaches in Southern Puglia. I would highly recommend booking with Puglia Paradise, and even taking part in some of the extra services they offer. We booked the pizza cooking lesson, and it was a highlight of the trip!

This was a great villa. We were comfortable, relaxed, in its no fuss and yet tastefully designed interior and outdoor areas. Generous in size; inviting pool; state of the art kitchen utensils (the juicer and espresso maker well used); inspiring locally made crockery (Nicola Fasano); they even allowed us the use of the garden herbs and fruit (fiorone fig tree growing wild just outside gave birth to multiple harvests). The bed was supremely comfortable and we slept so well in the shuttered darkness. My family got quite hooked on the Pétanque lawn (and competitive too......) The outdoor pizza oven was so much fun- it became the centre of a delightful social when tens of pizzas were conjured out by our lovely pizza husband and wife teacher duo. We also enjoyed Ostuni nearby, Grotaglie’s ceramiche shops, Cisternino, Ceglie Messapica and the lovely La Dolce Vita beach club. Ostuni market was a genuine (so cheap!) and fabulous bazaar. The slow food restaurants including Masseria Salinola around the region delicious. All in all an amazing villa and lovely break. The grounds were wonderfully kept by Rolando- thank you. Thank you Angela our concierge in particular for helping us almost as soon as we reached villa Margareta and throughout the holiday. And Massimo for his early rapid and friendly responses Thank you.

Perfection

Villa Margareta is perfect in every way. The villa is stunningly beautiful, with fabulous outdoor space. Everything about the villa, the bedrooms, the pool, the numerous seating areas are styled to perfection. Puglia Paradise who manage the property were fantastic and assisted with car hire, transfers, taxis, restaurant reservations and organised the most fabulous Pizza Chefs to come to the villa to cook for us - this is not to be missed and was the highlight of our stay. The villa is situated a 5-10 minute drive from beautiful Ostuni where you can find a plethora of restaurants - that is if you can bear to leave the tranquillity of Villa Margareta!
