Sitting against the backdrop of the Apulian countryside, this property comes with character aplenty. And while the home itself, which comprises a trullo and stone lamia that pay homage to the region's architectural styles, is noteworthy, it's the outdoor space which really piqued our interest – particularly for a family holiday. Not only does it come equipped with an impressive pool, outdoor kitchen, multiple dining areas, and chill-out zones, but the handcrafted play area is perfect for the little ones to monkey about. 

Trullo Diamond

This delightful villa is tucked away in the gentle hills of Monopoli. It’s just 7 kilometres from the sandy beaches of the Puglian coast, and is close to Monopoli – the perfect spot for a celebratory lunch and an afternoon of shopping. The villa blends modern comfort with Mediterranean style, resulting in a bright and welcoming holiday home. Outside you’ll find centuries-old olive trees around a private pool. There’s also an outdoor kitchen and a covered veranda for dining – what more could you ask for?

Olive Whisper

Surrounded by gorgeous views, this unique villa complex was made for alfresco living. The moon-shaped private pool is available seven months a year, with room for dining, lounging, and grilling up a storm on the sunny terrace. The bedrooms and bathrooms here are spread across six rustic Trulli, traditional Apulian homes, so you'll find narrow corridors and limited storage space, and you'll want to pack light. But well-behaved pets are welcome to join you for a fee, and your host can arrange local tours and experiences to make your stay extra special. To help you make the most of this stunning location, we recommend hiring a car for day trips into Monopoli, Ostuni, and Alberobello.

Olive Orchard Oasis

Immerse yourself in the Apulian countryside and enjoy the views from this home’s garden and private swimming pool. There are three gazebos – the one on the main terrace has a lounge area, dining table and barbecue for alfresco dining. The house itself has been restored by local artisans and has plenty of the character features you’d expect from a trullo. You’ll be glad to know, we’re sure, that the team here are very helpful too. Located in the Valle D'Itria, this home’s location is ideal for exploring the countryside, while Alberobello and many other towns can be easily reached by car.

Olives & Fennel

A former farmer's house, this villa is now a contemporary getaway near Puglia's coast. Despite its modern upgrades, it hasn't lost any of its character. In fact, two guests will have the luxury of sleeping in the traditional trullo – ideal for those wanting their own space. Each bedroom leads onto a terrace and offers views of the surrounding woodlands or the sea. You can spend your afternoons relaxing in the private pool and evenings dining alfresco on the terrace. There's no shortage of spots to relax with a glass of wine, either – and the Adriatic views are the icing on the cake. Location-wise, you'll find Monopoli and Polignano a Mare less than a twenty-minute drive away.

Apulia Elegance

Tucked two kilometres from Castellana Grotte's centre, you’ll find this cluster of renovated trulli nestled in the Puglian countryside. By nature of the buildings, some spaces within the home lack natural light, but it adds to the cosy atmosphere offered here. And to make the most of the Mediterranean climate, you’ll spend most of your time outdoors – with sun-kissed terraces, alfresco dining opportunities and a private pool, there’s no better place to be. When curiosity calls and it’s time to explore, you’re just a short distance from Grotte di Castellana, Alberobello, Polignano a Mare and Monopoli.

Medley of Olives

Built on three levels, this villa has panoramic views of the garden and the countryside from the upper-level terraces. We love the pool surrounded by daybeds and a pergola-shaded dining area (there’s a vineyard within the grounds as well). Inside, there’s plenty of room for entertaining. All bedrooms are en-suite and four have access to a private terrace (at full occupancy some guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in two of the bedrooms). Also, one bedroom is in a separate building on the roof terrace, perfect for those wanting more privacy. You may not want to leave this oasis of calm and luxury, but if you do, you’ll find the charming town of Polignano a Mare, 6 kilometres away.

Refinement on the Adriatic

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

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.

Rays the Roof 

Step inside this typical Apulian villa constructed from local stone from Puglia.  The cool, airy interior provides a welcome escape from midday temperatures, while artisanal touches make the accommodation feel cosy and comfortable.

In the afternoons, the chic patio area is the perfect place to savour a chilled glass of fizz or you might prefer to bask by the edge of your very own sparkling private pool. Additional outdoor attractions include a barbecue and pizza oven. Your host offers a variety of activities to choose from. There's the opportunity to have dinner cooked by your very own private chef or you might like to sample local wines from the region at a wine-tasting session.

Make sure to visit the awe-inspiring Castellana Caves - a vast underground system of Karst caves renowned for their alluring hues. The caves are a 40-minute walk from the property. Golfers are catered for too with the San Domenico Golf club, just over 17km away by car.



Casa Caves

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

Tucked between the countryside and the stunning Puglian coast, this home offers the best of both worlds. Set off by car and explore the UNESCO-listed Valle d'Itria, or dive East towards Monopoli and Polignano a Mare for a day by the sea. During downtime, make yourself comfortable back home. Keen cooks will have three kitchens at their disposal here, including one outdoors ideal for barbecues. The swimming pool (which can be heated for a fee) will entice you for an afternoon dip, while the covered terrace makes a sweet spot for sundowners. With four en-suite bedrooms, including a sprawling main suite on the top floor, we think it's the perfect family pad.
