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.

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.

It’s easy to unwind at this villa in Torre Suda. There’s plenty of room to relax, with a large garden, an infinity pool, and an alfresco dining area that’s perfect for summer barbecues. Just note that two guests will be sleeping on the living room sofa bed. The sea is just 300 metres away, so beach days are a given. Your host can also arrange massages, horse riding, and local experiences to help you make the most of your stay. This is a quieter part of the coast, so we recommend hiring a car to explore nearby beaches and restaurants.

An Oasis

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.

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.

Nestled in the heart of Old Gallipoli, this wonderfully authentic, light filled home has it all –beautifully preserved historical features, modern home comforts, and the perfect central location. Magnificent vaulted ceilings, original frescoes, and age-old cement tiled floors give you a taste of the region's past while the private roof terrace offers spectacular views out across the Ionian Sea. Accessed via an internal staircase, this is the perfect place to relax come morning, noon or night-time. You’ll want to laze on the sunbed before cooling off under the outdoor shower, barbeque and eat alfresco at the gazebo covered dining table or cosy up together with a glass of wine beneath the stars. 

Alternatively spend the day at the Beach of Purity, a mere 200 metres away, or by exploring the old town centre’s numerous Baroque churches and aristocratic palazzi before strolling down to the sea-front promenade and sampling one of the city’s many cafes, bars and restaurants. Whatever you do, at the day’s end make sure not miss the opportunity for that nightcap on the terrace!

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.

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.

Pool House

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. 

In Perfect Harmony

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.

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’.

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.

Experience the quiet charm of Ostuni with a stay in this rustic retreat. Nestled in the heart of the Parco delle Dune Costiere, it’s within easy reach of the seafront and the beautiful beaches lining the coast. 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.

Stay in an authentic Puglian trullo at this home in the Castellana Grotte countryside. Spanning a main house with iconic cone-shaped roofs, a modern addition filled with light, and a traditional stone-built tower, this villa has a lot of charm. Most of your relaxing will take place in the garden – there's a private pool with an added hydromassage, and plenty of sun-kissed spots to enjoy a glass of wine. The bedrooms are spread across the different buildings, though the one with single beds is in an alcove and lacks a door. Location-wise, you're not far by car from Monopoli and Polignano a Mare – both great options for day trips.

Trullo Dream

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.

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.

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

Electricity Adaptors

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.

A Fantastic Place

Workplace

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

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. 

Bone-White Stone

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

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

Pool / Snooker Table

Offering a restful escape in Italy, this home is perfect for families and groups of friends. It’s spread between the main villa and a separate one-bedroom suite that’s ideal for a couple wanting their own space. Lush gardens full of plants surround the home, with sun loungers and an outdoor shower. Best of all, there are two swimming pools, one small and heated, and a larger pool with a diving board. A covered terrace with a table and barbecue makes dining alfresco a breeze. Inside, the decor is modern and simple – it’s a comfortable home-from-home, though guests eleven and twelve will sleep on a sofa bed. 

Sublime Solitude

Indoor Pool

Stair Gates

Surrounded by ancient olive trees with panoramic views across the Itria Valley, this stunning home provides the ultimate treat for the senses. 

Just a short drive from the shimmering whitewashed streets of Ostuni, the atmospheric beauty of this region is felt in every detail. From the expansive layout and elegant styling to the outdoor kitchen and sculpted garden, there’s a quiet luxury to this space that feels captivating.

The communal spaces are designed for relaxing and sharing quality time together – inviting you to enjoy the timeless charm of Italian living. So whether you’re enjoying an intimate gathering around the rustic table, taking a refreshing drip, rustling up a treat on the barbecue or sipping blissful drinks as the sun sets, this is the kind of home that makes it easy to unwind. 

When you’re inspired to explore beyond this idyllic sanctuary, you’ll find the glistening coastline of Puglia is just a short drive away, while gilded afternoons can be spent wandering the narrow streets of Ostuni – the famous White City. 

Peace of Sky

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.

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.
