Sitting right on the edge of Matera's ravine and overlooking the ancient limestone town, your locale's fascinating palaeolithic past comes into sharp focus from this luxurious apartment. 
 
Arched stone ceilings combine with dazzling white walls and stunning artworks to create a space that’s as soothing as it is stylish. We love the open-plan layout of the main living area that gets ample natural light from the large glass doors leading out onto a private terrace.

Decked out in soft cushioned seats and boasting a glass ledge proferring postcard-perfect views over the ravine, this is where you’ll want to while away the hours, feasting on the far-reaching vistas over a morning coffee or evening sundowner. There’s an outdoor tub here too with hot and cold water for further relaxation – as well as yoga mats should you wish to practice your sun salutations – while back inside, the upstairs bedroom has a freestanding tub that beckons luxurious hours with yet more incredible views to enjoy.
 
When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, walk fifteen minutes to discover the Sassi di Matera Unesco World Heritage Site and visit the ​​Palombaro lungo, a subterranean cistern known as the “Cathedral of Water”, a ten-minute stroll away. With your host able to organise hikes and horseriding excursions as well, you're all set for a memorable time.

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.

Just seconds away from the gorgeous Ionian Coast, this two-storey home's beachside location more than makes up for its lack of a pool. There are several spots to look out over the turquoise water here – perfect for alfresco dining or a sunset cocktail. You'll even find an outdoor Jacuzzi to retire to once it's dark. Indoors, we weren't as keen on the simple decor, but everything you'll need for an extended stay is there. If you tire of days at the beach – and given the home provides access to kayaks, we'll wonder if you will – you'll find the historic towns of Sava and Taranto a short drive away.

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.

A local team of architects and designers have painstaking brought this traditional Trulli-style home back to life. From the fairytale cone roofs of the old section to the thick white walls of local stone and lime. Now, it’s a relaxing retreat for a small group with a glorious infinity pool at its core. Lined with loungers, this is the perfect place to cool off from the hot southern sun. There’s dining for the whole group out here too, in the full outdoor kitchen. You can admire the silhouettes of ancient olive trees as the sun sets over the countryside.    

Inside, every original detail and modern flourish feels like it has been carefully considered, from hand-picked crockery to candle-filled stone fireplaces. The kitchen is all sleek modernity, and the bedrooms are decked out in boho style with crisp white walls and straw-coloured accents.

You’re in the heart of the blissfully quiet Puglian countryside here, but a twelve-minute drive takes you to the buzzing old town of Ceglie Messapica, where ancient church bells chime on a Sunday and cafés spill out into squares. The UNESCO town of Ostuni is just a twenty-minute drive too – perfect for a day trip. 

Romeo & Trulliet

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.

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.

Rest and relaxation are key at this beautiful Puglian home. It’s spread between the main house and a one-bedroom annex, so is ideal for a big family group, or friends travelling together. Inside, you’ll find tranquil spaces decked out in local stone, while outside is all about the surroundings – this home is situated amid six hectares of parkland, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and Mediterranean gardens. If you’re anything like us, you’ll spend most of your time in the heated salt-water pool or dining alfresco. Your host can arrange yoga classes and massages on the pavilion, in addition to gourmet dinners – it’s practically impossible to feel stressed here.

On the outskirts of Polignano a Mare, you'll find this contemporary villa. It's perched on a hill overlooking the coast, so if sea views are what you're after, this is the place for you. We reckon you'll spend most days floating in the pool, dining on the extensive terrace, or swinging in the hammock under the olive trees. The breezy interiors also offer panoramas, as well as comfortable spots to lounge away from the sun. Of course, with Puglia's beautiful beaches an easy drive away, day trips will also be on the cards.

Polignano Pearl

Nestled in Puglia's countryside, this rustic home combines a historic Trullo building with a modern annex – accommodating up to six guests. You'll find two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms in the Trullo and a convertible twin bedroom in the annex. The property boasts expansive grounds with a private pool and jacuzzi. Enjoy alfresco dinners on the outdoor terrace, and evening aperitivo on the covered seating area. You'll find the authentic towns of Cisternino and Martina Franca to explore nearby, and the beach of Torre Canne isn't far either.

Puglian Trullo

Dating back to the 1600s, this beautiful home in Carpignano Salentino blends history and modern comforts in equal measure to create a blissfully tranquil stay. Retaining many of its original features, you’ll be charmed by the living area’s cathedral-style vaulted ceiling, the old stone fireplace in the kitchen, as well as the home’s stunning stone floors and picturesque garden. Its outdoor space is a vision of country living with a lawn dotted with fruit trees, plenty of shaded dining and reading nooks, a patio area beckoning sunny alfresco feasts and an outdoor shower to cool down after a spell on the sun loungers. 
 
A dreamy night’s sleep comes easily in the elegant bedroom, while the en-suite provides a luxurious wake-up to any day.
 
What’s more, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to sightseeing. History and culture enthusiasts can head to nearby Lecce (a twenty-five-minute drive) while sun-seekers will rejoice in the beaches within easy reach – Baia dei Turchi and Spiaggia Alimini both fifteen minutes away by car. You’re also a fifteen-minute drive from Otranto and its 11th-century cathedral and a fifty-minute drive from Brindisi.

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.
