Sitting pretty amongst century-old olive trees, this typical Apulian house is the ideal getaway to the Ostuni area. Though perfect for a romantic trip, it can sleep up to four with the additional sofa bed in the mezzanine area. Thanks to the vaulted ceilings and bright open spaces, it won't feel cramped either. And if, for some reason, it does, you can always take to the sprawling garden to stretch your legs. The shaded terrace creates the opportunity for alfresco meals, and there's a private pool too. Throw in a rooftop terrace and barbecue area, and it's obvious why we added this home to our collection. Monticelli Beach is minutes away, and so is the whitewashed town of Ostuni.

The Sheer Bliss

Surrounded by meadows and fields, this villa dates back to 1790. Thick stone walls and barrel-vaulted ceilings keep things naturally cool inside, complemented by antiques and vintage furnishings. For such a grand home, the main living room and kitchen are a little on the sparse and dated side, but the bedrooms make up for it. The garden is meant to encourage wildlife, so isn’t the manicured space some might prefer. But vast terraces with places to dine, recline and unwind are old-world stylish and there’s a big swimming pool with a whirlpool in the corner for hot days. For trips to the beach, Gallipoli is just 20 kilometres away. 

The Flower's Garden

Just a short drive from the whitewashed city of Ostuni, this home provides a calm sanctuary nestled among olive trees. Featuring a peaceful garden, a private pool and crisp rooms, you’ll find everything you could need for a restorative retreat. Housekeeping is included in your stay, plus guests can enjoy a concierge service with lovely extras like a private chef and cooking lessons. You will need a car to get around here, but the nearest beach is just 4 kilometres away. 

Love & Roses

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. 

Marine Magic

About five kilometres from the heart of Cutrofiano, you'll find this 1970s villa surrounded by fields and meadows. Split into two apartments, this one welcomes groups of ten to experience the tranquillity of the Italian countryside. Though the antique decor might not be for everyone, it doesn't take away from the comfort of the space. We especially like the frescoed ceiling of the main bedroom. Outside, shared with the ground-floor apartment, you'll find gardens, ample seating, a bar and orchard, and a swimming pool the kids will want to spend entire days in. Location-wise, you'll find plenty of villages nearby to visit. The beach is eighteen kilometres from this home.  

Tree-lined Serenity

Situated amongst centuries-old olive groves, this charming property beautifully blends history with contemporary living. You will feel relaxed from the moment you arrive – the panoramic view of the horizon, the picturesque gardens and the tranquil infinity pool set the ambience perfectly. Days will be well spent soaking up the Italian sun from your lounger, your holiday read in one hand and a fine glass of wine in the other. When lunchtime rolls around, light the barbecue and dine alfresco on the veranda for a relaxed afternoon with loved ones. 

Step inside, and you’ll fall further in love with this home. Neutral in decor but filled with comfortable furnishings, this is a wonderfully relaxing social space. We love the rooftop terrace for a romantic evening watching the sunset – a secluded spot for a magic moment. 

Within easy reach of the Adriatic Sea and the delightful beach at Torre Guaceto nature reserve, you’ll leave with your senses rejuvenated. The surrounding towns are filled with quaint streets, delicious food and gelato to die for. Meander around, taking in the architecture and listening to the language that sounds like a song. You’ll return feeling full, and not just from the incredible pasta dishes. Sink into the outdoor sofas and reminisce about your day, feeling the sun's warmth on your face – a gentle reminder you're in paradise. 

Terracotta & Lace

Minutes away from the whitewashed town of Ostuni, this home is perfect for large group gatherings. Split between a large villa, two smaller ones, and a trullo – all set on a sprawling estate – up to twenty-four guests can stay comfortably. And with distinct zones, everyone can have the level of privacy they're after. When you're ready to come together, settle around one of two swimming pools or admire the sunset from the balcony. The kids will appreciate the play set whilst grown-ups enjoy a glass of wine pm the shaded terrace. Though some rooms are lacking natural light, it's comfortable, secluded and on Puglia's doorstep.

Walls of White

Immerse yourself in the romance of Puglia and book yourself a stay at this gorgeous one-bedroom getaway, located right in the centre of the picturesque town of Polignano a Mare.

Step in off the narrow cobbled street and discover the charms of its recently renovated interior, which winds up through the home and includes a cosy sitting room and bedroom that share a soothing blue theme and a compact but well-equipped kitchen. 

However, it's in its outside space that the home really comes alive. With good weather all but guaranteed over the summer months, you'll be spending most of your time relaxing in the dappled shade of the covered terrace and topping up your tan on the rooftop terrace, with its far-reaching sea views.

Polignano a Mare's historic centre is the perfect size to explore on foot, making requisite stops at various viewpoints dotted throughout the town. Once you've seen the sights, refuel in a quaint kerbside cafe before making your way down to the pebble beach at Lama Monachile. Nestled between steep limestone cliffs, it makes for an idyllic dip in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic.

You can't come to the heel of Italy without factoring in a visit to the iconic cone-shaped trulli homes that line the streets of Istrian Valley towns like Alberobello. Meanwhile, the spectacular city of Matera is known for its ancient cave dwellings and, most recently, for featuring in a Bond film.

Rays the Roof 

This villa is in the sun-blessed and secluded Puglian countryside, nestled between the UNESCO town of Ostuni and the sea. Traditional, local style blends with modern elegance inside, creating a laid-back vibe – those vaulted ceilings are a dream. But it’s the social outdoor spaces that steal the show with spots for cooking, eating, and lounging alfresco. Shaded nooks hide comfy lounges, while a crystalline swimming pool looks out over acres of olive groves. It feels like you’re the only people in the world here – although, with the option for cooking and cleaning services, you'll still be well looked after by your hosts.

The Rooster

Nestled among the olive groves and wild greenery, this stunning family-size villa welcomes you to experience total tranquillity and relaxation. Tucked away in the secluded landscape of Carovigno, the home's traditional white stone exterior is the first thing that catches the eye. But stepping inside, you'll soon find modern minimalism and gloriously uncluttered spaces at the heart of this stylish villa. Slide open the bi-folding doors, instantly expanding your communal area, and invite the fresh countryside air to sweep through this wonderfully bright and airy home. 

Outside, you might spend your time dozing on a sun lounger, enjoying the refreshing water of your private infinity pool, or sampling the local wine on the furnished terrace, as you soak up the picturesque surroundings and shimmering sea views beyond. There’s a barbecue and an outdoor kitchen, so you can grill fresh produce and dine alfresco with your friends and family long into the warm evenings. 

When it's time to head out, the calm turquoise water and golden sands of Specchiolla Beach await, just 3km from your door. And if you're looking to explore the delights of Puglia, visit Carovigno's charming town centre and the beautiful Torre Guaceto nature reserve, only a short drive away. 

Sit Back and Sea

Set in such palatial, private grounds, you’d hardly believe this traditional Masseria home is just a five-minute drive from the beach and five kilometres from the history-rich baroque town of Lecce. Inside, the farmhouse interiors are bang up-to-date, with walk-in shower rooms in every bedroom and an adjoining self-contained bedroom annexe should you fancy a little extra privacy. The villa's owners live unobtrusively behind the house and are always happy to suggest local day trips and tips for dining out. They then like to take a step back so you can feel the home is truly yours.

Villa Dolce Volpe

On the very tip of Italy’s “heel” this apartment sits in the sunny harbour town of Leuca. Sample the seafood restaurants by the water or head out to find a rugged coastline punctuated with secret sandy bays. The apartment is on the top floor of a traditional-style villa with a huge sun trap of a terrace looking out over the harbour. Out here, you can dine, recline and wash sandy feet in the outdoor show after days at the beach. Inside, it’s a little old-fashioned in terms of decor and the kitchen won’t win any awards for modernity, but the sea views from each window are what makes this place stand out.
