This home is small in size, but it packs quite a punch. And, while the main bedroom is on a mezzanine and the third guest will be on the single sofa bed in the living room – meaning privacy is limited – for a short city break, there's a lot to be said for it. It's worth noting that the kitchen is compact, but with so many great cafes, restaurants, bars, and nearby, chances are you'll be out enjoying the local cuisine or savouring a light bite on the shared patio. 

Elegant Pearl

Just a few minutes from the sea, in the charming town of Castro, you'll find this abode. The true highlight here is the mini-pool and solarium that act as an oasis for those seeking peace and privacy. That said, the water is just a short stroll downhill, or, if you hop in the car, it's just a five-minute drive. Well-placed for discovering Baroque towns and cities such as Otranto and Lecce, this is a solid shout for families and groups of friends alike. 

Stone Citadel

Fall in love with the timeless charm of Italy with a stay in this rustic retreat. Nestled in Puglia’s Valle d’Itria, you’ll be treated to beautiful views, a large swimming pool and a peaceful terrace for alfresco dining. All of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms and there is a traditional trullo hidden in the grounds – providing the perfect refuge for two lucky guests. Housekeeping is included and you’ll find all the essentials you could need to settle in and unwind. Plus, it’s in a fantastic location with Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica just a ten-minute drive away. 


Italian Paradise

Few places in Puglia can outshine this home's unique vantage point. It sits at the foothills of Ostuni and offers a spectacular view of the ancient whitewashed city, just twenty-two minutes away on foot. Formerly a farmstead, it's surrounded by a dramatic canvas of verdant pastures and wooded slopes for as far as the eye can see, offering a delightfully peaceful base for families and large groups.

From the outset, this home impresses with its gloriously green scenery and stately stone facade. The interior strikes the perfect balance between authentic charm and contemporary comfort, and you'll feel like royalty as soon as you set foot in the elegant entryway. Throughout, high barrel vault ceilings, sweeping archways and heaps of natural light create a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation. 

The real magnum opus of this home is undoubtedly its outdoor space. With one acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, including various sun-soaked and shaded spots, it beckons you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. The private pool provides the best seat in the house, boasting a crystal-clear viewpoint of Ostuni from its sparkling waters. Spend your days poolside, soaking up the sun or relaxing beneath the pergola with a glass of lemonade. Come sunset, fire up the barbecue and gather on the terrace for a delicious alfresco feast.

Ode to Ostuni

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. 

Rustic Italian Wanderlust

A private paradise just ten minutes from the White City of Ostuni, this is a uniquely special home. It comprises a stone house and a trullo, one of the conical-roofed structures this part of Italy is known for, which has been renovated into a luxurious, stylish holiday destination. The outside space boasts honey-coloured stone terraces, a swimming pool surrounded by idyllic vistas, and a Jacuzzi. The view over a valley of olives, oaks, and ancient trulli is magnificent, and can be enjoyed while you dine alfresco – there’s a barbecue and a pizza oven in the outdoor kitchen. The indoor heated spa pool is a wonderful bonus – this home has it all. 

Trees & Trulli

Tucked away among olive groves, this contemporary villa with its roof terrace, saltwater pool and stylish interiors is a little slice of paradise in the Puglia countryside. Indoors flows into outdoors in a seamless way here – we loved the use of natural textures, neutral colours and unfussy furnishings. 

Wake up with an espresso in the gourmet kitchen before reclining on the comfy bench beneath the pergola. When you start to feel peckish, call upon a private chef to whip up something tasty for your brood. Or if you’re in the mood to flex your culinary skills, fire up the pizza oven and cook your own creations. Dine together on the covered terrace, then spend the afternoon playing bocce in the sunshine. 

For those keen to explore, you’re a six-minute drive from the centre of Ostuni, a stunning hillside city with a whitewashed old town, home to higgledy-piggledy cobbled streets and artisanal shops. Lamaforca Beach is a ten-minute car ride from your doorstep – the crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkelling.

Tutto Bene

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

Combining Apulia tradition with modern luxury (think whirlpools and wine coolers), this villa is the perfect spot for an indulgent escape. The three separate buildings that comprise this home (including a unique stone trullo bedroom) all connect to the garden, providing both privacy and opportunities for socialising. Thoughtful touches, such as the summer kitchen with its soapstone grill and the outdoor sound system, will make for memorable evenings – and there's no better place to watch the sunset than the rooftop pool. Meanwhile, younger guests will enjoy the outdoor games area with ping-pong and table football. And if you needed a reason to leave the house (unlikely), Ostuni is just a ten-minute drive away.

The Sunshine Palace

If you’ve ever wanted to stay in one of Puglia’s traditional trullo homes, this spot in Putignano is your chance. With arched walls and stone ceilings, it’s full of rustic charm but updated with modern comforts. Outside, there’s a private pool with countryside views and a shaded terrace for long lunches. The bedrooms aren’t completely private, and one is quite snug, but screens help divide the space. Location-wise, it's peaceful and secluded. You'll need a small car to handle the narrow roads, but local restaurants and bars are only a seven-minute drive away, plus you can reach the nearest beach in thirty-five minutes.

Trullo Vista

This limestone trulli house, with its conical roof, is particular to the region of Puglia, so where better to stay on a trip to the heel of southern Italy? Set in five acres of land, with ancient olive groves and fruit trees, there are many seating areas to choose from, whether you are enjoying a breakfast of fresh Italian fruit, eating a barbecued dinner or knocking back a sundowner. The sleek pool is the perfect spot to cool off from the summer heat, while inside a traditional wood-burning stove will keep you warm on chilly evenings. 

Conical Roof

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.
