Porta D'Oriente Suite
We offer you here our own private holiday apartment
Porta D'Oriente Suite, a small individual garden app. directly at the sea in Apulia/Eastuni.
Oriental meets Mediterranean.
Exclusive, freshly restored garden suite directly on the crystal clear sea of Ostuni. The enchanting and individual mini-apartment with side sea view skilfully combines oriental flair with Mediterranean living ambience.
The whitewashed houses in the Moorish-style old town of Ostuni with its labyrinthine alleys are gleaming white. As you can see from a distance and as the travel guides promise, the White City towers proudly in the sunlight at 300 metres above sea level like an oriental "Kasbah".
But if you stay in Marina di Ostuni for the time being, a domicile awaits you here that has a virtual affinity with the Orient: the Porta D'Oriente Suite. Extensive renovation and conversion work was necessary to turn the once inconspicuous shed of a masseria situated directly on the sea into a small charming domicile with flair (completion took place in September 2008).
Actually, the name Mare di Stelle (Sea of Stars) was originally intended for the holiday home in the very first restoration phase - in thought of the immediate proximity to the sea and its glittering in the moonlight. But in keeping with the prevailing style of the beach flat, the choice ultimately fell on Porta D'Oriente Suite.
Oriental - Mediterranean - Rustic - Individual
Although the holiday flat is designed in an oriental style, Porta D'Oriente, the gateway to the Orient, so to speak (and corresponding to the geographical position of Apulia), undoubtedly presents itself as a very successful and interesting encounter of cultures.
The individually designed garden gate is accompanied by two massive columns with white stone domes, reminiscent of distant mosques, next to which a green prickly pear tree has found its place. The outdoor area or terrace of the holiday home is bordered by a dry stone wall in warm tones such as sand and terracotta, which is characteristic of both Puglia and Arabic countries and conveys a certain sense of security to the guest. Special attention is paid to the front of the domicile, in the middle of which the rivet-covered, curved door in sea green points the way to the entrance. The oval windows have been skilfully set with irregularly shaped stones.
An elongated bench made of white masonry, decorated with oriental cushions, invites you to listen sensually to the sound of the sea while sipping a nice glass of Apulian red wine. From here you have a lateral sea view (from the front of the building, just a few steps away, there is direct sea access with a sandy beach bay). A wooden seating area awaits guests on the lawn, perfect for romantic candlelit dinners. The warm lighting of the stone wall and the bench combined with a row of lanterns underline the homely as well as individual ambience outdoors.
The newly restored holiday flat Porta D'Oriente Suite is suitable for two people (or possibly with a small child). As the flat also has air conditioning (hot/cold), it is also suitable for use in the cooler autumn and winter months.
The owners designed the flat with a lot of love and passion. Noble materials such as travertine and other natural stones were used. The beautiful Pietra di Gerusalemme, a natural stone from Jerusalem, for example, as a sand-coloured, slightly yellowish shimmering stone floor. Many ideas and inspirations, such as the brick-built, Moorish-looking double bed, unmistakably reveal the distinct penchant for interior design. A row of colourful majolica from Persia is decoratively placed above the bed wall. Fascinating lighting effects are created by the discreetly perforated wall and ceiling lighting, a traditional handicraft from Morocco.
The brick kitchen buffet is covered with a beautiful stone slab of yellow travertine, and the saffron yellow wall colour also blends harmoniously into the picture. If you do want to dine inside in between, there are also two colonial-style bar stools. The kitchenette is very well equipped (ceramic hob, oven, fridge with freezer compartment, glasses, crockery and lots of utensils).
The hosts collected the individual decors, which originate from oriental living culture, from their travels: The oriental mirror with an elaborately decorated pattern, a painting as well as some accessories came from London, for example, while the two antique prints were discovered at an antique market in Tuscany. The kilim cushions were also specially brought to the White City of Ostuni. Other items were simply bought. Instead of a conventional wardrobe, an ivory canopy with an attractive orange fabric hanging is beautifully displayed here. (Custom-made shelves in the alcove serve as storage). To preserve the originality of the domicile, rustic-looking walls with non-smooth surfaces were chosen.
A white sliding door provides a flowing transition into the bathroom. Here, too, classic tiles were deliberately omitted. Only the shower (crystal door) was lined with travertine mosaic tiles as an alternative. On the brick basin table, there is a countertop washbasin, also made of travertine. Noble fittings, a large mirror and natural stone floor refine the bathroom. (Window, bar heating, hairdryer available).
Porta D'Oriente Suite convinces with a very personal atmosphere. Wall safe, washing machine and iron are available. A car parking space is available for the guest within the property. The ground-floor flat Porta D'Oriente is situated slightly lower than the neighbouring holiday flat with patio.
Villanova with its picturesque ancient fishing harbour and the adjacent Camerini, where the holiday flat is located on a headland, has still retained its original character. Here you can still watch fishermen going out to sea in their boats and beating their polipi on the rocks after catching them, so that they can be prepared well in the kitchen. Puglia, the Mecca of Mediterranean cuisine!
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world between Orient and Occident, in a land of southern culture and tradition. Listen to the magic of the sea under a sea of stars ...
