Set less than one hundred metres from Ceglie Messapica's bustling pedestrianised hub and just an easy drive from the coast and Ostuni, the location of this apartment is spot-on. While the period home's vaulted ceilings and exposed stonework are impressive, there are a few compromises to make. Expect a small kitchenette that's better suited to lighter bites rather than large slap-up meals, and there's no outdoor space to speak of. But for a bolthole this characterful, we can forgive that.

An oasis of relaxation, this white-washed villa invites you to unwind in style. There's no doubt that the outdoor area is the biggest highlight. Between the private pool, fire pit, and sun-kissed seating areas, you'll want to spend every spare second basking in the fresh air. Indoors, the contemporary aesthetic is stylish and sophisticated, boasting all the essentials you'll need to feel at home. Location-wise, Monopoli, Polignano a Mare, and Ostuni are all within driving distance – no wonder it caught our ever-so-discerning eye.

For a unique and memorable stay in Brindisi, this stunning villa is an excellent option. You’ll be housed in a wonderful Trulli – the quirky conical-roofed homes most often found in Puglia and Brindisi. Beneath its coned roof, the villa is a stylish place to stay. The unusual shape of the home means there are cosy corners for you to curl up in, as well as a high-ceilinged dining room that’s the heart of the home. 

Of course, you’ll likely be hoping for warm weather, so will probably spend most of your time outside. Sit out in the sunshine, revelling in the glorious countryside views before going for a dip in the private swimming pool. Cook on the barbecue and dine on the terrace, in the shade of a dreamy pergola. You’ll find yourself relaxing as soon as you arrive at this idyllic home in Ceglie Messapica.

Stay in an authentic Puglian trullo at this home in the Castellana Grotte countryside. Spanning a main house with iconic cone-shaped roofs, a modern addition filled with light, and a traditional stone-built tower, this villa has a lot of charm. Most of your relaxing will take place in the garden – there's a private pool with an added hydromassage, and plenty of sun-kissed spots to enjoy a glass of wine. The bedrooms are spread across the different buildings, though the one with single beds is in an alcove and lacks a door. Location-wise, you're not far by car from Monopoli and Polignano a Mare – both great options for day trips.

Between the olive groves of the Puglian countryside, this villa is a lesson in minimalism and sleek design. An inviting private pool is at the centre of the outdoor space and the dining terrace (with a charcoal barbecue) looks out over ancient olive trees. Accommodation is split between the main building, where you’ll find one of the bedrooms and the sparse living area, kept cool by white stone walls. One of the bedrooms is in its own lamia building and a further bedroom is in the annexe with garden access. It’s a short drive to Ostuni for days wandering the ancient streets, and Brindisi is a short hop in the car.

Pomegranate Wishes

With its beautiful frescoed ceiling, arched walls, and cavernous spaces, this apartment makes for an atmospheric stay in the heart of the Baroque city of Lecce. Alongside historical features such as traditional shutters, the home has pops of modernity, from the bright artwork to the blue chandeliers.  Unusually for this packed-in city, this home has a private swimming pool – perfect for cooling off in the height of Puglia's summer. The sheltered terrace looks over the pool and we love the idea of long lunches or late dinners with friends here. Alternatively, Lecce's many seafood restaurants are only a short stroll along the cobbled streets. The house is in the centre of the city, with Roman amphitheatres, medieval castles, and grand cathedrals all jostling for space. On warmer days, it's less than a thirty-minute drive to the Mediterranean and many seaside tavernas.

This cluster of Trulli homes is like a fairytale illustration come to life. Each bone-white stone structure is home to a separate bedroom, kitchen and living room, with the outside space connecting them all together. Inside, comfy beds are nestled in archways and circular rooms have bare stone walls for an authentic feel. There’s no shortage of mod-cons though, with flatscreen TVs and desks for remote working if you need.

Really, though, this place was made for outdoor living, making the most of the sunny climes of Italy’s heel. There’s a full outdoor kitchen with a traditional stone bread oven, and myriad places to dine in the sun or shade – the choice is yours. Seats in the shade of ancient olive trees provide a moment’s respite. But the piece de resistance has to be the covered hot tub, surrounded by sun loungers to dry off after.

The location is a boon too, just outside the centre of one of Puglia’s prettiest towns – Locorotondo. A cluster of white medieval churches makes up the historic hilltop centre, where winding cobbled streets are filled with family-run trattoria and slow-food eateries. The UNESCO town of Ostuni is also within day-trip distance if you have a car.

Serenity, class and comfort ooze from every facet of this stunning Italian trullo. The features are magnificent, from the whitewashed stone to the rustic fireplace – you’ll feel completely at home. A masterpiece in design, if you aren’t looking up at the beamed ceilings, you will be looking down at the beautiful rugs covering the majestic tiled flooring. You’ll find yourself wandering through this home with a large glass of wine, enjoying the beauty of the interiors. 

Awake from a lovely relaxing sleep to find light peeking through the quaint castle-like windows. Make yourself a coffee and sink into the large contemporary sofa for a peaceful morning and moment of calm, before indulging in breakfast alfresco surrounded by your loved ones and taking in the beauty of your surroundings with bright flowers, greenery and clean white wicker furniture to enjoy. As the Italian sun warms your skin, you’ll welcome the refreshing waters of your cool blue pool where you can while away the hours during the heat of the day. 

If you fancy exploring the local surroundings, restaurants and shops are within walking distance or a short drive away for convenience. Sample a traditional bowl of pasta with a little limoncello and you’ll never want to leave.

Nestled in the heart of Old Gallipoli, this wonderfully authentic, light filled home has it all –beautifully preserved historical features, modern home comforts, and the perfect central location. Magnificent vaulted ceilings, original frescoes, and age-old cement tiled floors give you a taste of the region's past while the private roof terrace offers spectacular views out across the Ionian Sea. Accessed via an internal staircase, this is the perfect place to relax come morning, noon or night-time. You’ll want to laze on the sunbed before cooling off under the outdoor shower, barbeque and eat alfresco at the gazebo covered dining table or cosy up together with a glass of wine beneath the stars. 

Alternatively spend the day at the Beach of Purity, a mere 200 metres away, or by exploring the old town centre’s numerous Baroque churches and aristocratic palazzi before strolling down to the sea-front promenade and sampling one of the city’s many cafes, bars and restaurants. Whatever you do, at the day’s end make sure not miss the opportunity for that nightcap on the terrace!

Perched atop a cliffside in the picturesque town of Castro, this home offers a memorable seaside escape for those seeking a little mindfulness and some spectacular views. Its large outdoor areas allow for groups to congregate and mingle, making it perfect for family reunions and friendly get-togethers. 

Wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the stones below, before grabbing your first espresso of the day and looking out over the turquoise waters. In the evenings, enjoy a glass of fine wine on the terrace as you watch the night descend over the Adriatic.

Once you’re suitably settled, take the seven-minute walk to the centre of Castro and indulge in its delicious locally-sourced seafood after a day of shopping or bar hopping. By car, you’re just a forty-five-minute drive from the beautiful city of Lecce – home to magnificent baroque buildings, you’ll quickly discover why it’s referred to as ‘the Florence of the South’.

No doubt about it, this idyllic Itria Valley home is pure Puglian perfection. Comprising carefully restored Trulli – traditional dry-stone structures with a conical roof – along with contemporary architectural additions, this authentic home oozes character and charm as well as sophistication and style. Featuring an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space – think whitewashed walls, awesome archways and cool tiled floors – as well as two beautifully serene bedrooms, this heavenly home is perfect for a couple of couples or family group seeking some good old-fashioned R & R. Occupying a tucked-away and tranquil spot and surrounded by gorgeous greenery, this wonderfully white home boasts spaces fit for socialising as well as seclusion.

Laze on loungers in the sun or luxuriate in your private, outdoor pool. Prepare family favourites on the white worktops in the kitchen before dining alfresco on the poolside terrace. Treat yourself to an afternoon snooze or seek the calm of the colourful courtyard. Find a quiet place to sit and read a book on the banquette seating in the sitting room or relax with a glass of local wine on the sofa. Round off a romantic day with time spent in the master bedroom’s free-standing tub.

If you fancy a little light exploration, you’ll find you’re a ten-minute drive away from both the Valley towns of Locorotondo and Cisternino. Set off on scenic walks or cycle routes or venture a little further and discover iconic Ostuni – also known as ‘The White City’ – famous for its 15th-century Gothic cathedral.  


Terracotta Heaven

It's not a trip to Puglia without a stay in a trullo house, and this is a gorgeous one. Located in the rolling countryside, within easy reach of some of the area's historic towns, it's a great place to begin your Italian adventures. 

The traditional stone building has plenty of original touches – you'll love the conical roofs and decorative fireplace that provides a rustic charm. When you get hungry, you can head to the kitchen and cook up your favourite pasta dishes using fresh local ingredients. And, there's no better place to serve up your culinary creations than outside on the patio, as you breathe in the fresh air and admire the lush greenery surrounding you. 

When you fancy a day trip, there are plenty of places to visit in the surrounding area. The magnificent white city of Ostuni is around twenty minutes away by car, where you can stroll through the labyrinthine old quarter. The hilltop town of Martina Franca is around twenty-five minutes away, and if you fancy a day at the beach then you can drive to the coast in just over half an hour.

Perched on the outskirts of Matera, this apartment is just the right amount of stylish and charming. Its highlight is undoubtedly the solarium, with space for alfresco dining and sunbathing. The en-suite bathtub is sunken into the ground, offering spectacular views through the French doors. There's space to park for free on the street, but the city centre is so close that you won't necessarily need a car to get the most out of your stay here. You'll have easy access to Matera's fantastic restaurants and truly unique architecture, with buildings built into the natural caves of the Murgia.

Serene Abode

This chic, modern villa is an ideal base for a family or small group of friends seeking a coastal stay. Packed full of Puglian charm, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable break here, but the cherry on top for us is the outdoor space. Sun-kissed terraces, a private pool, alfresco dining opportunities and sea views stretching for miles – what’s not to love? Locally, it’s a mere six kilometres to Santa Maria di Leuca and less than four kilometres from the beaches of Pescoluse Torre Vado – there’s something for everyone here.

Situated in Lecce's hamlet of Salignano, this villa boasts a heated private pool and a lovely garden with space for sitting out in the sunshine or dining in the shade. The decor here is quite traditional and perhaps won't be to everyone's taste, but we think the location is great. The ancient Heroon Centopietre, an enigmatic tomb of the noble hero Gimignano, is a short walk away, while the Ionian Sea is easily reached by car, whether you head west to the Marina di San Gregorio beach or east to Il Ciolo.

Vaulted ceilings and original tiles underfoot are a nod to this 18th-century home’s former glory, and keep things naturally cool inside. Each bedroom has its own style and there’s a dedicated office room for those working remotely. But it’s the outdoor space that captivated us, with a big swimming pool carved from local stone and loads of comfortable places to catch the sun (or laze in the shade) on patios and terraces. This villa is in the centre of Diso, a historical Salento village two kilometres from the sea with a small shop and cafes within walking distance. 

Majestic Haven

Wheelchair Access

Nestled in the historic centre of Vibonati, this villa offers close proximity to Salerno’s main attractions, from the archeologic site of Paestum, Policastro and Sapri to the National Parc del Cilento. When it comes to relaxing at home, however, you’ll have lots of outdoor space to enjoy – we love the private pool, BBQ area complete with a pizza oven (perfect for alfresco dinners) and the balconies that offer views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Several of the rooms feature multiple beds, making this the ideal home for those travelling with little ones who need to sleep in the same room as their parents. 

The Ocean Melody

Herb Garden

Wandering through cobbled alleyways, across the small piazzas and past quirky antique shops, you'll know you've just discovered one of Italy's hidden gems. This villa can be found in a quiet village, between the Gagliano de Capo countryside and the historic old town, and could not be more perfectly placed for soaking up the very best of Italy. 

The exterior is a quintessential country farmhouse, with picture-perfect window shutters and a stone patio that beckons you to take a seat and crack open a bottle of red wine. While away the hours with good weather and good company. 

Inside, there's rustic charm in abundance, plus all of the creature comforts that'll make you feel right at home. The garden, however, is where you'll likely spend most of your time, with a private swimming pool and enclosed garden that's perfect for soaking up all of that Meditteranean sunshine on a warm afternoon. Peruse the extensive library of books that are housed in the bedroom, then get comfortable in one of the sun loungers for a relaxing afternoon.

If you're an adventure-seeker, you might spend a day snorkelling or scuba diving in the crystal clear waters of Ponte del Ciolo, or hiking along the Regional Natural Coastal Park. Whether you're exploring majestic cathedrals or rugged coastlines, a serene evening awaits when you return to the peace of your private garden.

You'll find this ground-floor apartment in the historic heart of Lecce. All the must-haves and must-sees are within strolling distance here – Piazza Mazzini is five minutes away, Castello Carlo is walkable in ten, and countless bars, restaurants, and shops are nearby. Though the apartment lacks a living area, it's a good option for those keen to spend all their time exploring. Some rooms lack natural light, but there's a private patio where you can enjoy a glass of local wine. All three bedrooms are comfortable, and two have desks for remote workers – just note that the single is accessed through bedroom two.

Offering the ultimate Puglian escape, spend your days dining under vine-wrapped pergolas, sipping Nero d’Avola on the shady terraces and picking homegrown produce in the fruit and vegetable garden. The bold architecture of this villa will catch your eye immediately, and with three trulli and a lamia stone house, there’s plenty of space for your cohort. The interior style is minimal and inviting, while the outside is equally blissful – the pool is pretty picturesque against its natural garden backdrop. Better still, this location is a perfect starting point for exploring Valle d’Itria’s hilltop villages, including Ostuni, Cisternino and Martina Franca.

Valley of the Olive Trees

Whitewashed walls, stone ceilings, and a sun soaked terrace – this place has got Ostuni written all over it. You’ll find it to the north of the city centre, tucked down a quiet street but still within easy reach of a whole host of bars and restaurants for eating out. The terrace is the star of the show, boasting sweeping views of the Puglian coast, but the apartment as a whole feels warm and homely, making it exactly the kind of place you’ll want to chill out in after a busy day of sightseeing.

Ostuni Palace

Set just outside the historic centre of Polignano a Mare, this home offers plenty of space for four people to spread out and enjoy some quiet time. There’s no TV, but with many amenities on your doorstep, two sun-kissed terraces, sea views and the Mediterranean climate to enjoy, we think you’ll be too busy to notice. Locally, you’ll find restaurants, ice cream shops and boutiques within walking distance, while popular destinations such as Monopoli and Castellana Grotte are a short drive away.

This spectacular oasis, nestled in the heart of Puglia’s countryside, is a rare gem and an ideal spot to enjoy a truly relaxing stay. You’ll feel instantly spoiled by all the luxury, while at the same time you’ll get immersed in the area’s timeless natural beauty. 

This uniquely designed home, emulating the traditional style of the local ‘trullo’, seamlessly combines the rustic feel of the white stone with an ultra-modern interior, in which every detail is meant to create a sense of bliss. The breathtaking outdoor area boasts a huge swimming pool, which is heated, and plenty of comfy lounging space. There is also a dining area here, ideal for enjoying those communal feats under the starry sky. You can easily get lost – and we mean this in the best way – roaming the expansive grounds and enjoying the gardens. Start your day with a light workout in the shadow of the olive trees – courtesy of the outdoor gym equipment, or head to the padel court for a little game. 

The interior is even more impressive – bright and roomy, it features modern, stylish designs and plenty of gorgeous touches, which show the love with which this space had been designed. There are almost endless options when it comes to finding a cosy spot to relax in – take your pick between the plush sofas, the relaxation area in the outdoor gazebo, or the inviting armchairs. 

Factor in the luxurious bedrooms with their soft, dreamy beds, and the sparkling, modern bathrooms, and we think you’ve got everything you might need for a truly unforgettable and restful stay. 


Tranquillity is Here

The property is a beautiful blend of the old and the new, with a stunning setting inside Cilento National Park and close to an ancient village. Also close to the foot of Monte Gelbison, the villa and its extensive outside space offer breathtaking views of the lush and dramatic surrounding scenery. There's also a separate pool house that provides flexible additional accommodation that makes The property ideal for larger groups.

The villa is composed of a beautifully-restored main property and two independent suites on the upper floors, boasting an array of original features. Many of these date back to at least 1870. The sense of history can be felt throughout the cosy rooms that boast an abundance of natural materials, such as stone walls and wood ceilings and floors.

On the ground floor is a charming living space with comfortable sofas, flat screen television and doors leading to the outside space. A wonderful library is full of English and Italian books and gives you the perfect excuse to while away a quiet few hours. The elegant dining room is adjacent to a well-equipped kitchen, making meal times easy and convenient.

Both of the two independent suites have their own living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms, making them totally self-contained. One of the suites also has its own kitchenette, and the other enjoys terrace access.

The separate pool house is bright and modern, with a living room that features floor-to-ceiling glass patio doors that flood the space with light. They also give you direct access to the garden, outdoor dining area and swimming pool. There's also a small kitchen and two double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom.

All guests at The property can unwind within the beautiful and extensive outside space. Sit on the porch directly outside the main villa with a drink and take in views over the lovely garden. Further into the olive tree-dotted lawned garden is a patio area with outdoor dining for up to 10 people. An idyllic waterfall that flows into a small pond sits by a set of stone steps that take you down to the large, private swimming pool.

Scenic walks and hikes are on your doorstep at The property, as it's located within Cilento National Park and close to majestic Monte Gelbison. The park is also full of ancient sites to visit, such as the Greek temple of Paestum and the Greco-Roman remains of Velia. The picturesque medieval town of Novi Velia is around a 10-minute drive from the villa.

As well as mountain ranges and valleys being features of the immediate landscape, the coast is within easy reach too. Sandy beaches such as those at Marina di Ascea are less than 30 minutes away by car.

Tranquil Sanctuary

Located in the heart of Vibonati's historic centre, we find this large villa with stunning views of the area. With multiple living spaces, two kitchens and several en-suite bedrooms, it’s a great place to share with a large group of people. Though the traditional interior may not be to everyone’s taste, there’s everything you need here for a comfortable stay – including a private pool, as well as a barbecue area for alfresco dining. Surrounding the villa, there is an abundance of activities to explore, such as the archeologic site of Paestum and the coastal towns of Policastro and Sapri.
