Villa Cappelli, Enjoy an amazing stay in a beautifully restored villa on historic Via Appia.

Enjoy an unforgettable, authentic stay in a truly undiscovered part of Italy at Villa Cappelli. Relax and immerse yourself in Italian indulgence — the food, the people, the fun.

The Villa sits majestically on the ancient Via Appia in the town of Terlizzi, just northwest of Bari in the region of Puglia.

No one is quite sure when the villa first sprung up but some historians believe the garden to have once been a 12th century monastic garden. The “farm” buildings on the property probably date to the 12th century as well. While the newest additions were probably built in the 17th century. In addition, one peculiar location in the villa is believed to be pre-Christian.

The land, filled with fossils from 10 million years ago, is covered by ancient olive groves, vineyards, and fruit trees. The entire villa is completely enclosed by an 18 ft. wall and features a formal half-acre garden planted almost exclusively with citrus trees, roses and lavender.

While steeped in history, the villa also features modern conveniences like air conditioning, free WiFi, a fully stocked kitchen, and more.

Relax in comfort with plenty of room for all your friends and family. There are 11 bedrooms and 9 full baths for up to 202 guests (no more than 22 people unless previously agreed upon). You can enjoy lots of common rooms and spread out to enjoy the entire 22,000 sq ft (2000 sq m) structure. Everyone will find their favorite space, with reading rooms, an enormous full kitchen complete with a wood-burning brick oven, an extraordinary large terrace with magnificent views, and a loggia that overlooks the luxurious 40x20 ft pool (12x6 meters), and a huge monastic garden full of citrus trees and fresh herbs. You also find Villa Cappelli is conveniently located close to many major attractions.

You can rent the villa by the day, week or longer. It is also available for private functions, parties, banquets, conferences and feasts.

During your stay, you'll have use of a washer, fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave and more. Maid service as well as shopping and cooking services are also available to make your stay extra enjoyable.

We've had a range of guests enjoy the villa from all over the world, including members of the British royal family, the British House of Lords, Bob Tuschman of The Food Network, world famous photographer Paul Freeman, stage and TV director Scott Ellis, reality TV star Fredrik Ekland, the music group Elbow, and more.

So whether you're looking to relax with family or go exploring with friends, you can create the perfect holiday here at Villa Cappelli.

There are cats and dogs who also live at the villa, but only outside and normally mind their own business away from guests. The dogs have an outside fenced in area next to the villa.

We have a small apartment on the premises, so we are always available to ask any questions and provide concierge services. We speak English and Italian, and know the area well, so we can help with any concierge services you might need, from cooking and cleaning to van rentals and dinner reservations.
