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.

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.

Behind the scenes, you’ll find high-speed Wi-Fi and air conditioning to help you settle in with ease. Tucked in a quiet street yet moments from the action, it’s an ideal blend of convenience and calm.

Inside, all three of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms and you’ll find plenty of space to relax and unwind after a day in the sun.

Tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood near the centre of Lecce, this charming apartment beautifully blends contemporary living with classic Salento architecture. Step inside and you'll find handcrafted ceramic tiles, exposed stone walls and high vaulted ceilings, giving this home plenty of charm and a natural ambience. The cosy breakfast area is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee and a home-cooked meal in the morning before heading out to explore the town.

You'll be within easy distance of the magnificent Piazzo del Duomo here, a famous square housing a baroque cathedral considered by many to be the most beautiful building in the city. Many of the area's main craft shops, wine bars, markets and restaurants are all within walking distance of the apartment, should you fancy a little retail therapy or a taste of the local cuisine. 

When you get home after a day of wandering along the town's cobblestone lanes, head home to enjoy an evening drinking wine in the private courtyard. 

Salento Star Vaults

Nestled in the heart of the historic Italian city of Lecce lies this boutique apartment, spread over two floors. While away the hours up on the beautiful private rooftop terrace where you can enjoy a drink, lie back on the sun loungers or prepare some antipasti in the outdoor kitchen to nibble on as you socialise and bask in the Italian sunshine. If you need to get some last-minute remote work done during your stay before you can relax, set yourself up at the dining table downstairs. Stand at the Juliet balcony in the main bedroom in the morning and look down at the street below as you sip your morning coffee, and make the most of this gorgeous city.

Modern, cosy, and practical too – this home places you right in the heart of the city, so if you don't have a car you don't have to worry about missing out on all the experiences and attractions that Lecce has to offer. Dig into mouth-watering meals and try delectable local wines at the wide range of restaurants, bars and cafes within walking distance from this home.

This apartment is a sun-soaked escape in the heart of Bari. Just a three-minute stroll from the old town and seafront, it’s the perfect base for exploring local cafes, restaurants, shops and historic sights. The real showstopper is the private rooftop terrace, ideal for lazy breakfasts or an aperitivo as the sun sets over the city. At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room, so things may feel snug – especially with just one bathroom. But with Bari’s vibrant streets and coastline right on your doorstep, it’s a small compromise for such a top location.

The Pearl of Bari

Parking On Premises

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.

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.

Safe

An excellent choice for an authentic Puglian escape, this home ticks a lot of boxes. It’s spread between a traditional trullo – built in local stone – and a separate building for two, which is ideal for a couple seeking a bit more privacy. There’s plenty of space outside for everyone to spend time together, with a private infinity pool, garden, and a gazebo that houses an outdoor kitchen. We love the rooftop terrace and its sweeping views of the surrounding olive groves. 

Borgo Bliss

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.

Nestled in the heart of the Puglian countryside, this gorgeous villa is as magical as it gets. We love the organic feel of the interior here – think vaulted brick ceilings, rustic floor tiles, and handmade wooden furniture – but it’s the outside space that really stands out, boasting lush private gardens, shaded verandas, and a private rooftop pool. Dip your toes in and gaze out at your beautiful surroundings or stretch out on one of the poolside sun loungers and listen to the sound of trees swaying in the wind as you work on your golden tan. 

Whether you’re travelling with friends or family, this home has got you covered. Keep little ones entertained in the private playground or gather everyone around the outdoor dining table for a light lunch made with fresh ingredients from the herb garden.  Designed for group holidays, there’s plenty of space for socialising here but if you’re craving some 'me time', you won’t have to go far to find a private corner to relax in. Settle into your favourite spot in the garden or wander over to the trullo for a fresh cup of coffee and some well-earned peace and quiet.

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

Private Parking

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.

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.

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.

Rustic Italian Wanderlust

Overlooking Puglia’s beautiful countryside, this home is a historic jewel with an abundance of style. From the elegant rooms to the serene garden, every detail of this setting inspires a wonderful state of relaxation. There’s a private pool, a fitness area with a gym and a magical outdoor terrace for alfresco dining. Alongside the main house, you’ll find three garden suites offering privacy and serenity for six guests. There is also a concierge service with a dedicated guest angel who is on hand to provide local recommendations and support throughout your stay. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a short drive to the nearest amenities and a little further on to the coast. 

Abode of Love

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 wonderful villa is located in the highest part of San Gregorio in the countryside of Patù. It’s less than 2 kilometres from the Bay of San Gregorio, known for its beautiful sunsets and the beach of Marina di Felloniche. We love the garden and its centuries-old olive trees, and the views of the countryside and sea are glorious. There are two porches to enjoy, with an outdoor seating area and a barbecue for family feasts under the stars. The villa itself is a simple space with rustic style and modern comforts – it’s an excellent base for a relaxing Italian break.

Garden / Courtyard

Beneath vaulted ceilings and stone archways, every inch of this Italian villa feels like a sacred sanctuary. About two thousand years ago, these olive trees were planted – and this palatial home now honours them. Just a short drive away from the white-washed city of Ostuni, the design here follows local tradition, but the elegant interior elevates it completely.

Drive up to a gated entrance – see the trim lawn and romantic cobblestones – and feel a sense of grace and grandeur as soon as you arrive. Underground, you'll find the old mill – a preserved place that is perfect for dinner parties and wine tastings. Above, there's a relaxing massage room and a peaceful living space where you can unwind.

Behind wooden shutters, every bedroom boasts outdoor access – plus, refreshing rain showers in the en-suite bathrooms. If you don't fancy heading out to nearby Costa Merlata, take a dip in your private salt pool instead. Before a barbecue lunch, why not sip Nespresso coffee under the pergola?

Consider hiring a private chef, so all you need to do is gather your loved ones around the dining table. On your doorstep, you'll discover a surf school, tennis courts, and horse-riding lessons. Even better, you can have it all arranged for you through the booking services available.

Where Love Is King

Located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, this home is perfectly positioned for exploring the Puglian countryside or visiting the beaches and coves of Monopoli. It has everything you need for a relaxing getaway and is located on the grounds of a lush park that’s exclusively yours to explore. 

The home's archetypical Italian design, with romantic arched ceilings and tall windows, bathes it in natural light – a sense of calm can be felt throughout. Surrounded by olive groves and blooming flora, the privacy of the expansive gardens allows you to truly disconnect. After waking up in the cosy confines of your bed, why not swim a few laps in the pool or lay out and feel the sun's warmth on your skin? After cooking a home-cooked meal in the Italianate kitchen, join friends on the terrace for lunch and a tipple. If you're keen to explore a little, hop in the car and visit some of the region's sleepy hilltop villages or take a tour of a local winery.
