About the area

Villa Dusenszky Vitale lies in the heart of the Valle d’Itria in Apulia. The region boasts a scenic landscape of rolling hills blanketed in vineyards and olive groves, quaint towns, and the distinctive conical-roofed Trulli.

The charming hilltop village of Cisternino is a short drive away. It is known for its whitewashed houses, narrow winding streets, and picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. The village’s historic centre is a maze of alleyways lined with traditional shops and quaint cafes leading to the central Piazza Vittorio Emanuele.

The wider surrounding area is home to many unique towns and villages, each with its own distinct charm. From Ostuni, famed for its whitewashed old town and 15th-century cathedral, to Savelletri, the place to go for the freshest seafood, and Alberobello, a picture-postcard town with narrow streets lined with over 1500 trulli, there is plenty to explore.
