The Area
Villa Eterea sits just outside the charming village of Selva di Fasano on the eastern flanks of the Valle d'Itria. Far below is the town of Fasano and a plain of olive groves that runs for dozens of kilometres along Puglia's Adriatic coastline. Apart from Selva di Fasano, the nearest town for shopping, restaurants and other amenities is Fasano. Most of your sight-seeing will centre on wonderful towns of the Valle d'Itria: Alberobello (a UNESCO Heritage Site thanks to its wonderful trulli-laden centre), Cisterino, Locorotondo, Martina Franca and Ostuni. All offer plenty to see, regular markets, as well as a good selection of bars, shops, restaurants and trattorie. One of the attractions of Villa Eterea is undoubtedly that guests may reach beautiful beach clubs, golf courses and spas nearby. World class sites a little further afield include the Baroque centre of Lecce and the stunning walled coastal towns of Otranto and Gallipoli.
For golf enthusiasts, Villa Eterea is only 6km (a mere 15-minute drive) away from the 18-hole golf course of Savelletri.
