Casa Emilia
Sleeps 84 minutes by car from Ostuni
Casa Rocco is a beautifully restored retreat set within a small olive grove estate just four minutes by car from Ostuni along a quiet country lane. Sleeping four guests across two separate structures, the property pairs an architect-designed main house, built around a historic Lamia vaulted ceiling, with a private guest house 95 metres away, each with its own kitchen and outdoor space. Partial sea views and, after dark, the glow of Ostuni's white rooftops complete a setting of quiet, uninterrupted calm.
The main house centres on its restored Lamia vault, now a bright sitting room with views across the pool, the aranceto and the surrounding olive groves. The bedroom, with its en-suite bathroom, opens onto east- and south-facing stone terraces, while the kitchen occupies a naturally ventilated pergola structure beside a shaded dining area. Local stone floors, double glazing and a walk-in shower run throughout, with shutters at every window for dark, quiet nights.
Ninety-five metres across the grounds, the guest house offers a large bedroom and its own fully equipped kitchen, ideal for two couples travelling together or a family with older children. Both buildings are for guests' exclusive use, along with the wider estate: the pool, its terraces and the shaded aranceto for a quiet corner through the heat of the day.
Around seven acres of olive groves surround the two houses, enclosed by stone walls and a sliding security gate with intercom for privacy. Outdoors, sun loungers, a dining table and a pergola make the most of Puglia's long afternoons and evenings, with the pool at the heart of the property.
Both kitchens are fully equipped with a dishwasher, oven, coffee maker and dining table, and each building has its own washing machine. Air conditioning and heating keep the bedrooms and sitting rooms comfortable year-round. Wifi and a dedicated workspace suit guests combining the stay with remote work, and free parking is available on site, with a personal welcome on arrival. Check-in runs from 5pm to 7pm, and checkout is by 10am.

Guest reviews
It is a real paradise on the outskirts of Ostuni, overlooking this beautiful city… Paul is a wonderful host, always available and extremely kind… The evenings under the olive trees with a glass of wine will certainly remain unforgettable.
Paul and Milla were fantastic hosts! … So quiet and peaceful yet so close to walkable Ostuni, and a great location for quick day trips in the area.
We loved that we could walk into town through the olive groves, a real bonus… Paul's house is incredibly welcoming, it feels like a real home and with the fireplace making it so cosy.
Magical place we will be back for a longer stay
