A contemporary house overlooking the breathtaking Italian countryside, Masseria Gialla is a light and airy property perfectly designed for outdoor living. With accommodation all on one level, there is a modern open plan kitchen with a dining area and a comfortable living room, which opens out to the fabulous terrace. Outside, the jewel in the crown at this villa has to be the magnificent infinity pool and accompanying matchless views out over the countryside below.

You can soak up the sun on loungers or cool off under the shaded terrace; try the hammock for total relaxation. The terrace is also furnished for outdoor dining, with a built-in barbecue, a pizza oven and pretty fairy lights for al fresco evenings.

There are three lovely bedrooms including a master suite, an en suite double and a compact twin room with a separate bathroom, perfect for a small family or friends holidaying together. In a secluded and very private position, Masseria Gialla is within easy driving distance of nearby city Matera, where guests can explore the ancient neighbourhoods known as Sassi, or wine and dine in ancient caves that have now been turned into bars and restaurants.
