A beautiful historic property perfectly restored to provide modern luxury alongside timeless elegance

Tenuta Castione is a magnificent 19th-century property in the heart of the Apulian countryside. Unlike any other, this rare gem is nestled in the beautiful region of Polignano a Mare and offers a luxury escape for up to 12 guests in breathtaking surroundings.

Bordered by its own vineyard, the estate’s sprawling grounds, with manicured lawns and landscaped gardens, offer a private and tranquil oasis for enjoying the Apulian sunshine.

A sparkling infinity pool with its jacuzzi jets and waterfall feature is the perfect place to cool off and relax. A vast wooden deck with sun loungers, deck chairs, and umbrellas is ideal for post-swim relaxation and enjoying the spectacular views.

The villa’s terraces and balconies, offering serene views of the surrounding countryside, provide tranquil spaces for guests to enjoy a morning coffee or dive into a holiday read in peace and solitude, fostering a sense of relaxation and tranquillity.

The outdoor dining area, nestled in the gardens, is a perfect spot for guests to enjoy convivial feasts in the fresh countryside air. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen is complemented by a separate barbecue area featuring a charcoal barbecue and an electric pizza oven.

Active guests can use the villa’s fully equipped gym beneath the pool or jog around the private running track that winds through the grounds.

Dating back to 1886, the villa is a fascinating blend of timeless charm and modern luxury. Spread across two floors, its opulent interiors provide plenty of space for relaxing and socialising with loved ones. High ceilings and large windows flood the rooms with light, while ornate floor tiling adds a unique character to each room.

The heart of the home is the spacious living room, which adjoins the sophisticated bar area, ideal for evening aperitifs and socialising. A refined dining room, with an impressive 18-seat table, promises memories of convivial dinner parties and lunchtime gatherings.

Adjacent to the dining room, the villa’s large modern kitchen is sure to impress culinary enthusiasts with its sleek workspaces and top-of-the-range amenities.

Upstairs, another bright living room beckons with cosy seating and a TV for entertainment.

Up to 12 guests can be accommodated in six well-appointed bedrooms and suites within the main villa and the three separate guest houses. The villa’s first floor is home to the master suite, with its expansive en-suite featuring a hammam and a luxurious bathtub, and a charming twin room with en-suite facilities. On the ground floor is a spacious suite boasting a sumptuous double bedroom, a private living room with a sofa bed, and two en-suite bathrooms.

In the gardens, three individual garden suites offer spacious double bedrooms with en-suite facilities, along with terraces for taking in beautiful garden views. All have independent access, which is perfect for those seeking additional privacy.

For guests seeking the perfect blend of history and modernity, countryside and seaside, privacy and access to bustling towns, Tenuta Castione is the ideal luxury villa choice.

About the area

Tenuta Castione is located in the Polignano a Mare in Apulia. Though it enjoys a peaceful countryside setting, it is just a short drive to the beautiful beaches dotted along the coastline.

Rather than vast sandy beaches, Polignano a Mare boasts a stunning coastline sculpted by nature. Imagine a series of hidden coves tucked away between dramatic limestone cliffs. Many of these coves, including the famed Lama Monachile right next to town, hold the prestigious Blue Flag designation, a marker of exceptional quality.

For calm, shallow waters, Spaggia San Vito is a cove where revellers can soak up the sun and admire impressive Roman ruins. For those who prefer to explore further, Cala Porta Vecchia beckons down the coast near Monopoli, offering another slice of Apulian paradise.

Aside from the captivating coastline, inland Apulia is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. A short drive leads to more of the region’s gems: Monopoli, an ancient port town steeped in charm; Alberobello, globally renowned for its whimsical Trulli houses; and the vibrant heart of Bari, a city pulsating with life.
