Camporlando 1812

A careful restoration of this delightful villa has added understated luxury to traditional, warm charm

Camporlando 1812 is an elegant 19th-century villa just north of Ceglie Messapica, surrounded by olive groves, almond orchards and vineyards, and bathed in pretty Puglian light.

The pale stone house has recently been carefully restored with a delightfully gentle touch. The brick-vaulted ceilings, original stone staircase and traditional double wooden doors remain, and chequerboard tiles in the rich earthy colours of the surrounding landscape are the motif that runs throughout the interior, from the kitchen floor to the bathroom basin splashback, maintaining an authenticity that puts guests immediately at ease.

Sleeping 8 in 3 doubles on the first floor, a single on the ground floor and another double in the separate lamia, it’s big but not unwelcomingly vast. In fact, the pervading feel is of calm relaxation with comfy beds made up with old-fashioned linens, angled reading lights by DCW éditions, a winter sitting room with fireplace on the first floor flooded with sunshine and an enclosed stone courtyard downstairs.

Admire the colours of this beguiling landscape from a lounger by the pool or at the outdoor dining table and take your pick from the kitchen garden. Nip to neighbouring towns for provisions, to stroll their baroque streets and to enjoy the authentic charm of this southern region. And don’t forget to explore the coast, enjoying the warm sea and the hidden coves.

Rooms description

Bedrooms

The property can sleep up to 8 guests. There’s a single bedroom on the ground floor of the villa and 3 compact doubles on the first floor, two of which are en-suite with private balconies and one bedroom uses a private bathroom on the landing. The traditional lamia has a double en-suite room. There are traditional wooden double doors painted in beautiful slubby greens, antique cement tiles and very comfortable beds made up in old-fashioned linen sheets.

Bathrooms

There’s a guest bathroom with shower on the ground floor of the main house, two ensuites on the first floor and one family bathroom on the landing for the 3rd bedroom. This bathroom has a particular shower to be reached by stairs. The lamia has its own bathroom.

Kitchen

The fully equipped kitchen, like the living area, has a brick barrel vaulted ceiling. The colorful cement tiles flooring, along with the brass pans, add traditional warmth while the appliances are all modern.

Living rooms

The large ground-floor living room is in the central part of the house and has a barrel-vaulted ceiling and a stone floor. There’s a sitting area at one end with arched doors to the garden and a dining table at the other. Earthy colours and dark wood furniture reflect the rich, red soil and olive greens of the surrounding landscape and add a cosy charm. There is a second sitting room on the first floor that is referred to as the winter living room that is flooded with light and has the original cement tile flooring and a fireplace. Outside there is further seating on the terrace, lounge pillows and stone sofa's with cushions under the lamia porch. And of course loungers by the pool.

Outside

The 15m pool to the side of the house has steps that span its 4m width. Sheltered by stone walls with loungers shaded by a pergola, you could easily spend your days doing little more than reading and swimming. There’s plenty of space to roam, however, and guests are encouraged to help themselves to produce from the kitchen garden. There are mature trees, including citrus, olive and almond, and gravel paths leading from stone terraces. A holiday here is about letting go and there are few outdoor spaces better suited to relaxing.

More information

A few of our favorite restaurants in the area:

Enoteca Il Cucco, Cisternino. Lovely design and a very good creative kitchen. In Summer you eat in the garden. The best collection of local wines and from all over Italy.

Giardini36, Cisternino. Our favorite for many years. Davide and Katia run this very well designed place just out of town together. Katia cooks in the open kitchen and most of the ingredients come from their own land. All fresh and daily changing menus.

Cibus, Ceglie Messapica. An all time favorite. Classic Puglian kitchen with a touch.

If you want to shop some nice design, stylish ceramics and small presents to bring home visit Civico3design. You don't know what to choose as all has something particular.
