HieraItaly, Puglia

The magic scenery of Valle d’Itria in Apulia, where mainstream tourism has not yet caught on, won’t be a secret much longer! Its characteristic trulli (a version of dome houses), dry stonewalls that surround vineyards and ancient olive groves, beautiful beaches with turquoise waters, and award-winning cuisine are attracting international movers and shakers, so do not wait any longer to experience the authenticity of this region. A fantastic place to select is Villa Hiera, a newly restored estate that updated the original rural architectural past with a contemporary concern for comfort.

Villa Hiera boasts a statement-making architectural stone construction tied to the rural origin of the estate conveying the authentic sense of age and space. Thanks to the particular layout of the property, large groups can enjoy the expansive grounds together as well as have private space when wanted.

The quiet and calm aesthetics of the interiors extend to the outdoor space. Here, the sun-drenched private pool, two elegantly furnished patios, many tables to dine al fresco, the barbeque area with wood-burning oven and the manicured gardens are the ideal places where family and friends will have an effortless vacation in a no-sense-of-time paradise.
