Villa Fenicia
Between the rolling landscapes of the Alta Murgia National Park and the Adriatic Sea, Villa Fenicia feels like a place where time slows down. Once a family hunting lodge, this historic villa has been passed down through generations, keeping its sense of warmth and quiet elegance.
A drive lined with ancient cedar trees leads to the villa, where frescoed halls, antique furniture, and soft stone walls tell their stories. On the ground floor, spaces like the Sala Pietra, Sala Bianca, and the bright Orangerie set the scene for celebrations both big and small. Upstairs, four frescoed suites invite guests to stay a little longer, while the dining and gala rooms capture a kind of timeless charm.
Outside, Mediterranean gardens open onto lavender fields and olive trees. The pool, overlooking the countryside, is made for slow mornings or a relaxed brunch after the wedding. As night falls, the Esedra — the open space in front of the villa — turns into the heart of the evening, with the villa itself glowing in the background.
