Welcome to Hiera, represented by Exceptional Villas, the leading luxury villa rental company as supported by Trustpilot reviews. Hiera is a remarkable 7-bedroom property nestled in the magic scenery of Apulia, Italy. Valle d'Itria is still a quiet escape away from mainstream tourist traps further up the coast. Hiera's classic architecture is at one with the region's traditional Trulli, dry stone walls, olive groves, and vineyards. The newly restored estate focuses on the original rural architecture that is complemented with contemporary features for your comfort. From here, it is a short 15-minute drive to the expansive eastern coastline, which offers breathtaking beaches with azure waters. The luxury property is composed of three individual stone buildings in the privacy of a beautiful five-acre park, perfect for a group of friends or couples traveling together but looking to still enjoy some independence.
The outdoor space is sun-drenched and elegantly furnished. Those looking to make the most of the exceptional Mediterranean weather can spend the whole day out on one of the patios, unwinding on the sunbeds, sipping on a delicious cocktail, followed by a refreshing swim in the private pool. The outdoor dining areas offer plenty of space to sit out and enjoy meals al fresco. If you don't feel like whipping up a meal for yourself and your guests, our concierge service can organize a private chef to prepare a delicious spread of Italian food on the barbecue area that includes a wood-burning oven using fresh produce from the vegetable garden. An outdoor exercise area complete with a treadmill, exercise bike, and weights will ensure you stay in tip-top shape during your vacation. A football table will keep your younger guests entertained for hours while the adults take a siesta in the heat of the afternoon.
Inside, the villa's interior mirrors the calm, quiet aesthetic of the outside. The living room is a serene space with a generous L-shaped sofa where you and your guests can lie down and chill out after a day spent exploring Apulia. There is a large dining table with ample seating for up to 14. The floor-to-ceiling glass doors allow your guests and a fresh breeze to flow from the garden indoors to keep the space feeling cool. The muted palette combined with the blond wood floors, ceiling beams, and modern fireplace creates a warm and welcoming space. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for whipping up a delicious breakfast before heading out on the day's adventures.
The villa's bold stone construction is linked to the rural history of the estate. The expansive grounds provide both a sense of space and privacy. Hiera's central location provides the chance to experience Apulia's magnificent cuisine, culture, and history.
