The Villa

Built during the second half of the last century, the villa was born as a summer residence for short and long periods. The elevated position has made it ideal for escaping from the hot summer temperatures of the country and pleasant for enjoying moments of relaxation immersed in the Mediterranean nature.

Remodeled and redesigned with subsequent restoration works, the villa today appears as a whole an authentic masterpiece of local architecture whose white color stands out against the olive garden and the gentle lines draw a place where every guest can feel "at home".

Thanks to its strategic position close to one of the major cities of Italy called Bari, Corte San Francesco is an ideal starting point to discover the wonders that the Apulian and Lucanian territory offers: the sea, the green, the flavors of good food.

Corte San Francesco is in the middle
of many tourist places and towns that you can visit
during your stay in our villa.
Castel del Monte

Castel del Monte is a 13th-century citadel and castle situated on a hill in Andria in the Apulia region of southeast Italy.
