Balcony of the Orient with Scenic Garden Views

Welcome to your holiday home in Selva di Fasano, a true corner of paradise immersed in nature! Casina GiuSaFra is spread over a single level of 90 square metres net, enriched by a wonderful independent terraced garden of about 450 square metres. This outdoor space is perfect for relaxing in the open air, and is largely pergola-covered in the areas adjoining the cottage, allowing you to enjoy the Mediterranean climate and the breathtaking panorama that can be admired thanks to its location about 500 metres above sea level. The house has a large living room with dining area and sofa and an independent kitchen, both with direct access to the beautiful terrace. In the sleeping area there are two cosy double bedrooms and, to complete the house, a windowed bathroom with shower and bidet. The property, set in a very prestigious landscape, is located in a quiet area, surrounded by woods, well-preserved trulli and excellent villas. The property adjoins two other houses and is reached via a private road, guaranteeing privacy and tranquillity. The area is among the highest in the area, offering spectacular views and direct contact with nature. Selva di Fasano, nestled in the green setting of the southern Murge, is a holiday resort appreciated for its cool climate and breathtaking views of the Itria Valley and the Adriatic Sea. It is often called the 'Balcony of the Orient' because of its spectacular views. Among the most characteristic places in Selva is the Minaret, a Moorish-style villa built in 1918. This fascinating structure, with its tower resembling an Islamic minaret, offers a privileged vantage point from which one can see the coastline from Monopoli to Ostuni. Not far away is also the Trullo del Signore, a small church in the shape of a trullo, next to the Madonna del Carmelo: a silent, simple corner full of local identity. The social and cultural heart of the Selva is the Casina Municipale, which hosts cultural events, exhibitions, markets and open-air musical evenings during the summer, popular with residents and tourists alike. For those who love the most authentic nature, the nearby Parco Rupestre di Lama d'Antico (Lama d'Antico Rock Park) offers a beautiful green area perfect for walking, birdwatching and relaxing in the Mediterranean maquis. One of the area's main attractions is the Zoosafari di Fasano, located a few minutes' drive away: Italy's largest wildlife park, where animals can be observed in semi-freedom directly from your car or by panoramic train. Next door is Fasanolandia, an amusement park with rides, shows and attractions for all ages, perfect for a family day out. For trekking lovers, the itinerary connecting Fasano to the Selva is recommended: a ring-route of about 8.5 km that crosses the countryside, the Zoosafari and the suggestive grotto of San Donato, also the site of a popular festival every 6 August with religious celebrations, stalls and traditional illuminations. Around Selva di Fasano, there is no shortage of opportunities to discover iconic villages such as Alberobello, Cisternino, Locorotondo and Martina Franca, each with its own traditions and characteristic architecture. Towards the coast, the beaches of Torre Canne, Savelletri, Capitolo and Monopoli offer clear waters and excellent tourist services. Selva di Fasano is therefore an ideal destination for those seeking a stay amidst nature, culture, relaxation and fun, with the possibility of exploring one of the most fascinating areas of central Apulia. In short, Casina GiuSaFra is the perfect place to discover the wonders of Puglia and Salento, offering comfort, nature, and an excellent location for unforgettable experiences!
