Inside

accommodation at Corte Gea is all on one floor, and one of the three bedrooms is accessed externally.

The main entrance leads into a bright hallway, off which the accommodation flows. Turning right through a wide opening, one enters a luminous living area, whose smooth grey polished concrete floors, pale, blanched almond hues, walls of sliding glass doors and slightly barrel-vaulted ceilings offer a neat synthesis of the architectural and interior design motifs of the whole property. To one side is a super-sized, white, L-shaped contemporary sofa, while to the other is an easy chair and a sculptural, curvaceous (and decorative) fireplace suspended from the ceiling. Everything is at once contemporary and cool with hints of rural tranquillity, thanks in large part to the views outside of the olive trees and greenery of the gardens.

A couple of steps lead down through a wide opening and into the kitchen-diner, whose dark wood cabinetry is echoed in the central dining table. Extremely well-equipped and with a fireplace, this convivial space opens out via a large sliding glass door onto a shaded terrace and the gardens beyond.

Back in the entrance hallway and turning left, one comes to the first two bedrooms, both doubles with en-suite shower rooms, garden views and sliding glass doors opening out on to the surrounding terraces.

The third and final bedroom, also a double with en-suite shower room, garden views and sliding glass doors, is accessed independently from the terraces.

Outside

simplicity is key to al fresco living at Corte Gea. All rooms open out onto a smooth, polished concrete terrace that runs around all sides of the house, and each bedroom has its own little furnished sitting area.

This wrap-around terrace gives way to the gardens, which have been left in a semi-natural state, with grass, wild flowers, fragrant herbs, prickly pears and olive trees creating an idyllic, quintessentially Puglian scene. Adding to this are the drystone walls (echoed in the stone cladding of the kitchen-diner) and carefully conserved remnants of trulli, all evocative reminders of the property’s former agricultural life. The gardens merge almost seamlessly with the surrounding countryside, giving the impression that they are one and the same.

Most al fresco life is played out on the section of terrace outside and between the kitchen-diner and the living area. Here there is an al fresco dining area and a lounge area with well-cushioned built-in seating gathered around an outdoor fireplace (the mirror of the fireplace in the kitchen).

Just a few steps away is the graceful, cobalt pool, whose three infinity edges are raised just above the gardens.

A hop across the grass from the terrace outside the kitchen-diner, meanwhile, is an al fresco dining area, served by a barbecue-cooking area with sink in an evocative circle of stone, the restored remains of a trullo.

Corte Gea features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.

Please note that the depth of the pool is between 1.25m and 1.8m.
