About this property

A passion. Torre Gigliano Ruvo di Puglia

On the edge of the fortified Fenicia farmhouse is Torre Gigliano, a 12th-century structure built at the foot of the Murge plateau. Torre Gigliano is immersed in an expanse of olive trees in the countryside of Ruvo di Puglia, a town rich in history with an important Romanesque cathedral and the Jatta National Museum, which collects an archaeological collection dating from between the sixth and third centuries. A. C. Equidistant from the Murge and the Adriatic coast, it is located just 15 km from the sea and Castel del Monte. Wrapped in a mysterious past that tells of templars on the Via Francigena, used as a watchtower and as an astronomical observatory, the house is enriched by a spiral stone staircase, unique in its kind and of extraordinary beauty. The tower has always belonged to the Fenicia family and the current owner, Alessandra, collected the maintenance work of her father Antonio, completing it and making this home a small and rare jewel for sobriety and respect for the original setting. It is part of a thriving farm that produces extra virgin olive oil and PGI black trojan wine. The fruits of a small organic vegetable garden and orchard are available to guests depending on the current season. To fully enjoy the palpable peace of the place, it is possible to have, on request, a personal trainer and wellness treatments, as well as excursions, trekking and climbing in the Alta Murgia Park, where you can recognize the numerous edible wild plants present in the area.

trust the pictures!
we were prepared to be disappointed by reality, but in fact this place is even more beautiful than visible on the pictures. The surrounding landscape is fantastic, and with a rental car there is much to explore. Thanks for the great stay!!!

Auszeit im Mittelalter
Mit großer Vorfreude und Spannung fuhren wir durch das Eingangstor über den mit alten Kiefern gesäumten Weg zum Torre Gigliano ein. Unsere Urlaubsgastgeberin begrüßte uns freundlichen und machte uns mit unserem „zu Hause“ für die nächsten 14 Tage vertraut. Dieser mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtete ehemalige Wachtturm, erfüllte unsere Erwartungen voll und ganz. Wer sich einmal in seinem Leben als Burgherr oder Burgfrau fühlen möchte, ist hier perfekt aufgehoben. Alessandra war die perfekte Gastgeberin, die jederzeit für uns ansprechbar war und uns mit Obst und Gemüse aus dem kleinen Garten versorgte. Einzig die mit dem Morgengrauen beginnenden landwirtschaftlichen Tätigkeiten der Olivenbauern in der Nachbarschaft, schmälerten das perfekte Urlaubsfeeling. Wir danken Alessandra für diese wunderbare Auszeit und empfehlen sie sehr gerne weiter.

Die schönste Unterkunft
Wir sind sehr begeistert von Torre und Giuseppina. Einzigartiger Unterkunft mitten in der Natur wo man sofort Ruhe findet. Der Turm ist sorgfältig restauriert und vereinbart in sich historisches Ambiente mit dem besten Komfort. Das hat absolut alles, was man gebrauchen könnte: gut ausgestattete Küche, ein kleiner absolut wunderbarer Pool, Grill-Ecke, eine Waschmaschine sogar und tausende Olivenbäume. Die Lage ist auch absolut einzigartig und perfekt: Man hat hier absolut die Ruhe, andererseits ist die nächste hübsche Stadt innerhalb von 10 min mit dem Auto erreichbar. Wir haben hier eine wundervolle Woche verbracht und waren traurig, abzureisen. Wir können Giuseppina für die wundervolle Erfahrung und Gastfreundschaft nicht genug danken. Das war ein Traum.

Fairytale under the stars
We had a magical stay at Torre Gigliano! Alessandra welcomed us warmly and was at our disposal in case we needed assistance. The Torre is in the middle of olive groves. There is complete silence except for crickets and birds! It is charmingly furnished. Bedroom large, bed comfortable and the bathroom is spacious, it has a separate shower and lovely claw foot tub to luxuriate in. Outdoor seating has been thoughtfully placed so that you can enjoy sun or shade at any time during the day. We cherished the solitude! This does not mean isolation! The charming Ruvo Puglia is minutes away. Here are many restaurants and our favorite spot for the best provisions, including wine, L’angolo Divino! There are many interesting places to visit within a short drive from the Torre. The Adriatic coast, Puglia landscape… in May wild flowers are in full bloom. Thank you , Alessandra for your warm hospitality.

A beautiful property in the country side, near the beautiful town of Ruvo
The property is amazing : an old, very nicely decorated, fortress in the middle of a huge olive tree plantation. The nearest city (Ruvo) is only 3 kms away and offers a lot to be seen, with the very nice family atmosphere of a typical town of southern Italy. We were very kindly and efficiently taken care of by the owner Giuseppina. We strongly recommend this rental !

Very unique and authentic
This was a truly unique and fun experience. As you should gather from the description and photos, it is an updated 500 year old tower. The setting is conveniently close to the town so getting groceries or dinner is a ten minute drive. But still far enough away that you feel complete seclusion. It’s in the heart of a working olive farm. Please don’t expect some posh 5 star experience. It’s not that. But it has all the amenities you need and is clean and well maintained. If you’re looking for a unique experience while exploring Apulia, this is it

Magical tower in Puglia
An ancient medieval tower, lovingly restored, this was a magical place. Nestled amongst ancient olive trees in the beautiful Puglian countryside the only sounds at night came from the abundant wildlife. An aesthetic treat, if peace and quiet and a taste of rural Puglia is what you want, this is a fabulous place to stay.

Hospitality and History Kiss
A most memorable stay! Allessandra aka Giuseppina was a most gracious host. Our lives have been enriched by coming to know her as well as her magnificent home. The stonework of this amazing property was enough to make one feel privileged to live there for 11 nights, but the quality and design of the furnishings are first class. Every comfort was provided in modern style with historic flare. The setting couldn’t have been more peaceful and Ruvo is a lovely town. God willing, we will visit again soon.

Wer das Besondere, Individuelle sucht, ist hier absolut richtig! Der alte Torre inmitten einer grünen, ruhigen Oase am Rande einer Olivenplantage hat Charme und Charakter. Wir wurden super betreut und haben uns hier seeeehr wohlgefühlt. Das i-Tüpfelchen war der neue, kleine Pool zum Erfrischen.

Magisch
This is a beautiful old tower. as if you are going back in time but with the conveniences of today. The stone spiral staircase has stolen my heart. Everything was super clean. and well cared for.The bed is wonderful. There were several seats with shade or sun. From the roof of the tower we enjoyed the sunset and the starry sky. There is a vegetable garden from which we have made delicious meals. Alesandra is a very nice person and is there for you if you should need her There are many nice towns to visit and many good restaurants. We have come to rest in this beautiful tower. Thank you alesandra! To us you are a special tower keeper :)

Eine tolle Woche im Turm
Diese Unterkunft im altehrwürdigen Torre ist schon sehr besonders. Das charmante Ambiente und die Ruhe haben wir sehr genossen. Trotz der Nähe zu Ruvo die Puglia (zirka 2 Kilometer) ist der Turm mit dem riesigen umgebenden Olivenhain sehr abgeschieden. Man hat sogar Meerblick und von der steinernen Dachterrasse mit ihrem 360-Grad-Panorama schaut man bei guter Sicht sogar bis zur Gargano-Halbinsel und nach Mattinata. Toll war auch der kleine Gemüsegarten, aus dem wir uns bedienen durften. Alles in allem war es eine sehr schöne Woche, wir haben uns im Torre sehr wohl gefühlt. Wichtig zu wissen: Es gibt kein Wlan, aber das "digital detox" kann ja auch mal sehr erholsam sein.

Einfach traumhaft!
Umgeben von tausenden Olivenbäumen und Weinstöcken verbrachten wir eine Woche unseres Urlaubs abseits vom Massentourismus in völliger Ruhe und Geborgenheit. Das historische Gebäude mit seiner liebevollen Einrichtung bietet alles, was man für einen zünftigen Urlaub benötigt. Mit dem Fahrrad oder, wie wir, mit dem E-Bike kann man die umliegenden Städtchen mit ihren romanischen Kathedralen erkunden oder einen Abstecher zum Meer unternehmen. Viele andere Sehenswürdigkeiten Apuliens erreicht man bequem mit dem Auto. Herzlichen Dank gilt unseren Gastgeberinnen, die uns sehr herzlich empfangen und mit nützlichen Tips versorgt haben.

Simply OUTSTANDING!!
Wir durften knapp zwei Wochen zu Gast im "Torre" sein und haben den Aufenthalt mehr als genossen. Die Lage des ehemaligen Wachtturms ist perfekt um die Schönheiten Apuliens zu erkunden. Knapp 40km nordwestlich von Bari gelegen, liegt der Turm nahezu mittig in dieser Provinz. Sehenswürdigkeiten wie das Castel del Monte, Polignano a mare, Alberobello, Castellana Grotte, Mattera, sind mit dem Auto alle sehr gut zu erreichen. Zum Meer mit sind es nur 15km. Besonders die schöne Altstadt von Andria mit tollen Fischrestaurants am Hafen, sei hier besonders erwähnt. Zum ganz aus Stein erbauten Turm selbst führt eine prächtige Allee. Der Empfang durch die Gastgeberin Alessandra und Ihre Tochter war herzlich und sehr freundlich. Es wurde uns alles bestens und ausreichend erklärt. Außen und Innenbereiche waren sehr sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet und dekoriert. Selbst frische Kräuter aus dem hinter dem Turm liegenden, eigenen Gemüsegarten, waren als Sträuße auf den Tischen. Der Turm ist komplett ausgestattet und bietet alles was man braucht (sogar Autan war vorhanden). Was uns besonders gefallen hat war, dass wir alles ernten und essen durften was reif war. So hatten wir frische Tomaten, Feigen, Trauben und Orangen, alles biologisch. Nur die Früchte der zu hunderten um den Turm stehenden Olivenbäume waren noch nicht reif. Leider. Aber wir bekamen eine Flasche vom selbstgepressten und sehr gutem Olivenöl, sowie eine Flasche Rotwein aus eigenen Trauben. Highlights waren auch die Warmwasser Außendusche und die wunderbaren Freisitzmöglichkeiten, wo man bei einem Sundowner den Sonnenuntergang genießen, oder im Schatteneinfach ein Buch lesen konnte. Zusätzlich wurden wir von Alessandra per WhatsApp auch über aktuelle Veranstaltungen im nahe gelegenen Ruva di Puglia informiert. Inklusive wie man an Tickets kommen konnte. Wir sagen vielen, vielen Dank, grazie mille an Alessandra. Cari saluti!!

Alessandra Fenicia e la sua torre sono un un'unicum fatto di bellezza e rara eleganza, ci hanno lasciato molto, molto di più di quanto ci si aspetta da una vacanza. La dimora è un incanto, curata nei minimi particolari, qui si respira storia ed emozione profonda. Nel suo silenzio magico ogni giorno la natura ti abbraccia e ti depura dalle scorie e della frenesia che inevitabilmente ormai fanno parte del nostro vivere . La pietra, gli ulivi i prodotti della terra ogni giorno ti accolgono amorevoli lasciandoti parte della loro magia.. tutto questo ci resterà negli occhi e nel cuore per molto molto tempo ancora. Grazie Alessandra e grazie torre, non vediamo l'ora di tornare ad abbracciarvi ancora. Davide, Barbara e Giampiero.
