Among our property listings, you’ll find plenty of incredible villas in Italy that are luxurious, 5-star gems with all of the bells and whistles you could ask for. You’ll also find historic properties that are well-preserved and lovely and make you feel like royalty or stylish and cool properties with interiors that have been carefully considered and look like something plucked right from the pages of an interior decorating magazine. Then there are the luxury properties that are on a level of their own, that boast truly incredible facilities, and have plush interiors that rival the most elegant hotels in the world. Villa Oria, in Salento, falls into this latter category of our luxury villas in Apulia. A real show-stopper, this seven bedroom (accommodating up to 18 guests), 10 bathroom villa spreads over a whopping 1040 m2 on 4 hectares of surrounding grounds and will set you back between €1310 and €3836 per night.
