Villa Fenicia
A historic Villa located between the Alta Murgia National Park (UNESCO Global Geopark) and the Adriatic Sea, Villa Fenicia is a place where art and nature meet, creating a space of effortless elegance and breathtaking beauty.
Originally a hunting estate, the Villa has been owned by the Fenicia family for many generations.
Ancient cedar trees line the majestic entrance and lead visitors to the Residence, where frescoed halls, antique furniture and ancient stone colour the different rooms available. On the ground floor, the Sala Pietra, Sala Bianca, the Longue orangerie and the Orangerie offer a variety of options to host events. On the first floor, four frescoed suites invite guests to live a dream-like stay, while the dining room and Gala Hall seem rooms suspended in time. The park and gardens unfold around Villa Fenicia and offer guests the sense of quiet glamour characteristic of the Mediterranean landscape. The pool, overseeing a lavender patch, is the perfect location for a morning brunch with close friends and family the day after the wedding. The most suggestive of locations remains the Esedra space in front of the Villa which has the residence as a magnificent backdrop for evening events with unmatchable bucolic charm.
Villa Fenicia do everything with care and dedication, respecting nature and their values: sustainability, authenticity, and conscious living. For this reason, the villa does not have a fixed menu year-round and they actively work against food waste, adopting a sustainable approach to events in every way possible. They are continuously dedicated to seeking out small local producers and artisans to create a network of businesses that share values. Holding an event at Villa Fenicia means embracing these principles.
