Fancy a taste of true Puglia living? This traditional Trulli villa located in the Itria Valley is spot-on. Despite the property's heritage, this is a surprisingly practical home. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, making it well-suited for two couples sharing, and the shared hot tub leading off the apartment's private terrace is a lovely touch. Guests rave about the attention to detail here, and it's easy to see why. Expect local goodies and wine to help you settle in, and your host is always on hand if you need anything. Make sure to ask them for recommendations on the best trattorias in Locorotondo village (a fifteen-minute walk), or the nearby towns of Ostuni, Fasano, and Monopoli.

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.

This small but cosy villa is full of character and a relaxing base for families exploring the best of Puglia. It's surrounded by a lush garden with a hammock and ample dining areas, perfect for long alfresco meals after exploring the local area. There's even an indoor gym so you can stick to your workout routine, even on holiday. The historic city of Ostuni and the Merlata coast are a short drive away and this home also comes with bicycles so you can explore the Puglian countryside and neighbouring villages at your own leisure. 

Olive Hill

Self Check-in / Check-out

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.

Set in the heart of Lecce’s historic centre, just a two-minute stroll from baroque churches, bustling cafes and beautiful boutiques, this is the perfect base for exploring the city on foot. Housed in a period building with striking star-vaulted ceilings, yet upgraded with all mod-cons for a comfortable stay. 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.

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.

Courtyard

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.

You can also spend blissful days lounging by the private pool and there is an outdoor kitchen for alfresco dining. 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. Your host is also on hand to help organise a range of extra services – including guided tours, boat charters and wine tastings. 

Sweet Sunlight

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

Accessible Parking

Access to Beach

With stunning sea views from this home’s patio and roof terrace, you’ll be relaxing in no time. There’s also a shaded outdoor dining area with a barbecue, ideal for enjoying the Italian climate. Another bonus is the vegetable garden with its produce available for guests to harvest. Inside, we love the barrel-vaulted ceilings and the large living area – this place is perfect for family and friends. And with easy access to some of the best beaches in Southern Salento, the location is great too.

Paid Parking On Premises

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.

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.

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

Lift Access

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

This apartment puts you in the historic heart of Lecce, where narrow streets are home to pasta shops and family-run trattoria that have been in business for generations. You might spot nonnas making fresh orecchiette at rickety tables between the ancient churches. It’s a town brimming with history, from the ancient Roman amphitheatre to the medieval castle of Carlo V. 

After a day pounding the time-worn streets of the historic centre, retreat to this apartment hidden behind an ancient door and courtyard. Stepping past the old stone walls typical of Lecce’s old town, you’ll find a surprisingly modern interior – a kitchen with everything you need to replicate Puglia’s culinary delights and a dining table big enough for four. But plenty of traditional touches give the home’s history away, such as the wooden shutters, carved dressers and huge, dark wood wardrobe in the bedroom. It is a tad noisy though, but we think that's worth it for the central location. 

Oleander Seeds

Free Parking

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. 


I Dream of Italy

If you're looking for a relaxing stay in the heart of the gorgeous Apulia region, then this ground-floor villa is certainly a great choice. You'll have dining and lounge space out on your covered terrace, along with far-reaching views of the surrounding area from the garden. Inside, soft neutral tones and modern furnishings keep things comfortable and calming. The villa is shared with residents on the upper floor, however, privacy is not a problem here. Location-wise, it's a ten-minute drive to the nearest town of Fasano, while the beach is just twenty minutes from your villa. Other highlights include Monopoli (17km away) and Polignano a Mare (24km away) – both are beautiful destinations and well worth visiting. 

A Hillside Call

Housed in a former fishermen's building, this apartment is located in the heart of Monopoli, just steps away from the historic centre and the picturesque harbour. The apartment’s living room, off the well-equipped kitchen, sleeps two guests on a sofa bed at full capacity. Both the living area and the bedroom have a small balcony overlooking the street, while on the top floor, there’s a communal rooftop terrace with a 360-degree view of the harbour, lighthouse and the town’s rooftops.

The Harbour's Lighthouse

Private Dryer

Sauna

Set high on a hilltop in the heart of Puglia’s Itria Valley, this villa is all about slow living in style. Surrounded by olive groves and sprawling gardens, it offers panoramic views of the countryside from every angle – whether you're floating in the infinity pool, sipping wine from the private cellar, or soaking in the Jacuzzi. Inside, traditional Puglian charm meets contemporary design, with a focus on raw, natural materials – think exposed brick, whitewashed walls, and floaty linens. You're just a short drive from the picture-perfect town of Ostuni and the region’s rugged Adriatic coastline – or stay put and let la dolce vita find you.

Hilltop Reverie

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.

Fenced Property

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.

Old Town Treasures

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.

Atop the Florence of the South

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

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.

Apulian Breeze

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. 

White Crocuses

Drop your bags and explore Polignano a Mare from this cosy apartment, hidden away from tourists yet close to the city centre. The train station and coastline are easily accessible on foot, as well as local shops and restaurants. We think families and couples will settle right in – the sofa bed adds flexibility to the sleeping arrangements and your host can provide children's equipment on request. The kitchen lacks a full-sized oven, but you'll have everything you need for cooking up light bites or small meals. To elevate your stay further, your host can arrange a variety of extra services from housekeeping to private tours.

Polignano Promise

This stone house is a charming base for six in Monopoli. It’s close to the seafront, and boasts wonderful views of the sea and the historic city centre from the terrace. We love the alfresco dining area in the shade of the pergola, too – you’ll likely spend most of your time here outside. Inside, there are lots of stairs to navigate so it’s not a suitable choice for those with children under six. There are cosy corners for moments of relaxation, and quirky details that add charm. 

Azure Affair

Sample all of Apulia's best bits from this villa set just a few minutes' drive from Ostuni's historic centre and not far from the beaches of the Adriatic coast. A great option for a family holiday, the open-plan living area overlooks the private infinity pool – perfect for keeping an eye on children playing. If we were being picky, the kitchen area inside feels a touch small compared to the rest of the villa. However, the outdoor pizza oven and barbecue beneath a covered pergola for alfresco dining make up for that. 

Barefoot Romance

With its conical rooftops and exposed stone, this trullo captures the original charm of Puglia. Just five minutes from Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s a peaceful base surrounded by olive and fruit trees. Inside, arched ceilings, stone walls and a cosy fireplace give a sense of tradition, balanced with a modern kitchen for easy meals at home. Outside, the private pool is the highlight, with loungers, shaded dining and even a hammock among the olive trees. Alberobello’s cafes and trattorias are close by, with Locorotondo, Ostuni and the Adriatic coast all within reach.

Old Stone Palace

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

Hidden away in a quiet spot in Lecce's old town, this home is a lot more contemporary than its location would imply. There's a minimalist streak to the living quarters, with stark white walls lending an innate brightness and the kitchen full of clean lines and sleek surfaces.

You'll notice that there are a few historic touches in the outdoor space, however. The patio is surrounded by walls made of golden stone typical of the region and made all the more pretty with the presence of overhanging branches that lend a little privacy. If it's too cold to sit in the open air, there's also a roofed terrace that's just as relaxing in our books.

If sightseeing is high up on your list during your stay, you'll be happy to learn that the Basilica of Santa Croce and the Roman amphitheatre both lie around the corner from the apartment. It won't take you too long to reach the beach at San Cataldo in the car, either.

Earth of Gardenly Delights

Minimalist in design but not lacking in any comforts, this inviting apartment in Monopoli offers an ideal base for those looking to explore this Adriatic ace of a town with its beautiful historic sights and dreamy coastline. Step inside to find wood floors, pared-back furnishings and glass doors leading out onto a private balcony with sea views. Savour the salty breeze as you enjoy your morning coffee in the sun and retreat to this outdoor space each evening for a celebratory sundowner. With a stylish bedroom accented by gold notes and an en-suite bathroom featuring a luxurious rainfall shower, you’re all set for a memorable stay. 

When you’re ready to venture out for some exploring, make a beeline for the Porto Antico to watch the turquoise waves rolling in or visit the Baroque Monopoli Cathedral for some history and culture. You’ll love getting lost amidst the cobbled streets lined with whitewashed houses and, of course, sampling the local Puglian delicacies at the many restaurants on your doorstep.
