For a unique and memorable stay in Brindisi, this stunning villa is an excellent option. You’ll be housed in a wonderful Trulli – the quirky conical-roofed homes most often found in Puglia and Brindisi. Beneath its coned roof, the villa is a stylish place to stay. The unusual shape of the home means there are cosy corners for you to curl up in, as well as a high-ceilinged dining room that’s the heart of the home. 

Of course, you’ll likely be hoping for warm weather, so will probably spend most of your time outside. Sit out in the sunshine, revelling in the glorious countryside views before going for a dip in the private swimming pool. Cook on the barbecue and dine on the terrace, in the shade of a dreamy pergola. You’ll find yourself relaxing as soon as you arrive at this idyllic home in Ceglie Messapica.

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.

Guests rave about the location of this pocket-sized studio apartment in the historic heart of Ceglie Messapica. Set less than one hundred metres from the town's pedestrianised hub with bustling restaurants and bars, it's easy to see why. The apartment's small balcony and beautifully restored period features are a nice touch. It's worth noting the kitchenette is compact and better suited to breakfasts and light bites. However, there are no compromises to make in the bathroom with a large chronotherapy shower – perfect for cooling off after days exploring Puglia's nearby coast.

Set within 5000 square metres of grounds, this place is an Italian paradise. Centuries-old oaks cast welcome shade over the gazebo with its dining area, as well as the lawn bordering the private swimming pool. Dotted around the gardens, you’ll find fruit trees such as apricots, figs, medlars and apples. Speaking of food, there’s also an outdoor kitchen, complete with a wood-burning oven and barbecue. Inside, there’s a rustic charm to the interiors and there are several seating areas. If you manage to explore all of the land here before you leave, then you may have time for some excursions. The town of Ceglie Messapica is 1 kilometre away, while Ostuni is just over 10 kilometres from this home.

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.

With its wisteria-covered courtyard, acres of olive and almond trees, exquisite pool and authentic interiors, the allure of this 700-year old weathered stone villa is hard to beat. 

Inside, the place blends antique furnishings with stylish modern features, creating an inviting space to relax between sunbathing sessions in the garden and day trips to nearby villages. Put your feet up and flick through the coffee table books in the white-washed living room before heading into the garden to handpick ingredients for lunch. Embrace your inner pizzaiolo and top homemade pizzas with fresh figs and generous drizzles of honey. Once replete, find a lounger in the shade for a well-earned cat nap. 

If you’re keen to explore, check out the on-site, underground limestone cave with 7th-century frescoes or take a bicycle tour through the countryside. Stop for a bite to eat in the foodie haven of Ceglie Messapica – it’s only ten minutes away. For those who like to unwind on the beach, Puglia’s stunning coastline is less than a thirty-minute drive from your doorstep.

Offering the ultimate Puglian escape, spend your days dining under vine-wrapped pergolas, sipping Nero d’Avola on the shady terraces and picking homegrown produce in the fruit and vegetable garden. The bold architecture of this villa will catch your eye immediately, and with three trulli and a lamia stone house, there’s plenty of space for your cohort. The interior style is minimal and inviting, while the outside is equally blissful – the pool is pretty picturesque against its natural garden backdrop. Better still, this location is a perfect starting point for exploring Valle d’Itria’s hilltop villages, including Ostuni, Cisternino and Martina Franca.

Valley of the Olive Trees

Bathrobes

Wine Cooler

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.

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.

Private Parking

Nestled among olive trees, this historic farmhouse has been thoughtfully restored into an immersive Italian escape. Consisting of a main house, a traditional Trullo and renovated stable rooms, you’ll be welcomed by a wonderful sense of character along with plenty of space to relax and enjoy this beautiful location. Highlights include the natural swimming pool, the private hot tub and a range of extra services – including wellness treatments and private chefs. Housekeeping is included in your stay, children’s amenities can be provided, plus it’s just a short drive to the centre of Ceglie Messapica – just five minutes away. 

Days of Beauty

Board Games

Playground

Hammock

If you have an amenity in mind, this home probably has it. Whether it's in the charming indoors or the idyllic outside space, this home is brimming with high-end facilities. 

We'll start in the wonderfully unique interior, a quaint space that's shaped by hidden coves and crevices. Cute beds are tucked under stone archways and cosy cushioned seats are dotted between the exposed brick walls. It's an indoor space like no other. 

Wander outside and the flurry of amenities slowly begin to reveal themselves. Find a BBQ and pizza oven to satisfy any foodies looking for authentic, home-cooked food. Complement each bite with a glass of Barolo wine on the green sofas under the pergola.

A wooden dining table rests under another pergola for a more formal dining experience. Or you can forget about food altogether and immerse yourself in the home's activities. Spend lazy mornings and sunny afternoons in the paradisal pool, kissed by the sun and refreshed by the lush greenery. 

If you prefer a more lively day, practice your skills on the mini football pitch. When the whole group wants to get involved, move over to the outside court for wholesome games of badminton or volleyball.

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

Whitewashed and traditional, this old granary opens its doors to a rustic Italian retreat. Nestled amid olive and almond trees, you’ll find everything you could need to switch off and savour peaceful days by the pool. It’s also family-friendly with gated grounds, a ping pong table and plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy quality time together. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a ten-minute drive to Ostuni and Cisternino, while the nearest beach is twenty minutes away. 


Italian Oasis

Sauna

Lift Access

Fenced Property

If you’re looking for a stunning holiday home to spend quality time with your loved ones, this one hits the nail on the head. You can sweat away in the sauna, followed by a plunge in the private pool – which even comes with a swim-up bar. We love the rock features inside the villa and talking about rocks – there’s a fifty-meter deep grotto to explore on the grounds. 
You’re only a walk away from some great Italian cuisine and there are plenty of towns well worth visiting nearby. 

Among The Rock Gardens

Desk

Secluded away in the rugged beauty of the Puglian countryside, 15km south of the iconic trulli-covered town of Ostuni, this cone-shaped home is an absolute dream for anyone looking to experience a traditional southern Italian stay.

Stunning inside and out, this trullo is characterised by exposed stone walls, elegant archways and soaring ceilings. Some modern additions ensure its practicality as a gorgeous getaway perfect for multi-generational families or groups of friends, with spacious bedrooms and sleek en-suites ensuring plenty of privacy.

The outdoor space is a haven, with an inviting pool shrouded by olive trees and lush gardens, so you're free to top up your tan or seek solace in the shade of a nearby tree. In addition, there are a couple of fantastic outdoor dining areas and a wood-fired barbecue, where we'd be tempted to cook all our meals.

Set on a hectare of land and surrounded by fields, the trullo offers a tranquil space to unwind far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you can rouse yourself from your relaxation, the quaint streets and piazzas of Ceglie Messapica are approximately fifteen minutes away. The best thing about this enchanting town? Its enviable array of restaurants that serve up mouthwatering Puglian specialities. 

Alternatively, drive 30km or so in the opposite direction, and you'll arrive on Puglia's awe-inspiring Adriatic coast. Its shimmering azure waters and white sand beaches are more than a match for the Maldives.

Very Trulli Yours

In the land of ancient olive groves, traditional Truli and whitewashed hilltop towns, this beautiful home sits in perfect harmony with its environment. 

Just a short drive from the centre of Ostuni (4km away) as well as the beaches of the Puglian coast, you’ll find yourself quickly transported to the warmth and beauty of Italian living. And with an abundance of living space alongside seven bedrooms (each with its own bathroom), this is the perfect setting for an intimate celebration or a restorative retreat – one that’s filled with style, elegance and rustic charm. 

Wake up early and enjoy mesmerising views across the Itria valley from the balcony, take a dip in the pool, spend lazy afternoons on a sun lounger and gather for golden hour drinks on the terrace. Your host can also arrange a private chef to prepare a delicious Italian-inspired feast – inviting you to sit back and soak up the beauty of this unique location. 

For explorations beyond this peaceful sanctuary, days can be spent strolling the ancient narrow streets of Ostuni and Cisternino, or exploring the beaches nestled along the coast – just a twenty-minute drive away. 

Natural Peace 

Fenced Garden

This stunning home is beautiful in style and ambience. Whitewashed walls, ‘pop of colour’ furniture and elegant Italian tiles create a sophisticated and homely feel. The stonework is simply beautiful – we love the archways and conical ceilings that add so much character to this home. 

Mornings will be well spent with a steaming mug of coffee on your private terrace overlooking your tranquil pool and green gardens. With the Italian sun beating down, don your sun hat and settle down on a lounger with a good book and a refreshing glass of white wine for ultimate relaxation. When you crave a little respite from the heat of the day, sink into your pool and enjoy a fun-filled few hours with loved ones. 

If you can tear yourself away from this home, meander through the quaint streets of the local towns or just a stone's throw further, you will be met with the picturesque coastline. As tiredness sets in, head back to your little piece of paradise. Charming and traditional in equal measure, this Italian home will be the backdrop to a wonderful stay. 

The Cream of the Crop

Balcony / Patio

Pool House

An excellent choice for an authentic Puglian escape, this home ticks a lot of boxes. It’s spread between a traditional trullo – built in local stone – and a separate building for two, which is ideal for a couple seeking a bit more privacy. There’s plenty of space outside for everyone to spend time together, with a private infinity pool, garden, and a gazebo that houses an outdoor kitchen. We love the rooftop terrace and its sweeping views of the surrounding olive groves. 

Borgo Bliss

Umbrellas

Divided into three different buildings, this traditional Trullo offers a one-of-a-kind experience to a large family or group of friends looking to soak up a truly authentic Italian experience. 

From the moment you arrive here, you'll notice the blissfully sweet nuances of the Mediterranean fragranced air as fruit trees, grape vines, and olive groves bring life to the garden. With your own private swimming pool, grassy lawns and an abundance of fauna and flora – relaxing in the hammock, hanging tent swing or at the poolside lounge area couldn't be more serene. 

Inside the main house, you'll find ample space to keep the kids entertained with a ping pong table and SKY TV. Two of the bedrooms are situated in a separate annexe and feature their own kitchen and living room – a wonderful space for teenagers to have some independence in their own space should they please. 

Set in the countryside of Ceglie Messapica, a medieval village of gastronomic excellence, you'll be located just a twenty-minute drive away from the centre of Ostuni and even closer to the waterfront of the Adriatic Sea. 



I Heard it Through the Grapevine

Once upon a time, in a home entirely made of stone, a family enjoyed an exceptional fairytale stay in Puglia. In the vein of true Pugliese style, the house has retained its wonderful traditional charm. In contrast, its stone interiors have been updated for a luxurious and rejuvenating stay on the heel of Italy’s boot. The pool is perfect for cooling down on hot days, after which you can imagine yourself picking at the famous local olives accompanied by wine before dining on fresh Italian produce under Baroque arches. We adored the gazebo on the lawn as the perfect setting for reading or daydreaming when seeking solace. Known fondly by the Greeks as an ancient town, nearby Ceglie Messapica is one of Puglia’s oldest towns. It is amazingly well preserved for those who enjoy living history and not far from some of Italy’s best beaches. After spending your days doing as much, or as little as you like, everyone lived happily ever after, watching the sunset over the magical stone yard and distant fertile plains every evening. 

Once Upon A Time In Puglia

This home is an excellent choice for those wanting to escape the crowds and really unwind. We love its setting in the Puglian countryside, surrounded by olive groves – yet it’s only 8 kilometres from Ostuni. There’s a main house and two independent trulli – the conical-roofed homes found in this part of Italy, which are ideal for those wanting a bit more space. The outside area is the star of the show, with a private swimming pool, shaded terraces for alfresco dining, and heaps of room. 

The Luscious Orange

If you’re looking for Puglian countryside isolation, then this striking villa will certainly hit the mark. Just 7 kilometres from the nearest town, Ceglie Messapica, this traditional ‘trullo’ is native to the south of the country. In essence, it means a round building made of stone, with cone-shaped roofs. In reality, it makes for a truly unique stay. After entering this impressive, almost otherworldly exterior, you’ll be just as taken aback by the gorgeous decor. While the furnishings and colour palette of the living space are both neutral and understated, this makes way for the most important element of this home – stone. Rustic, natural, and elegant, the artisan masonry is fully exposed for your admiration. We love the cosy nooks painted in warming terracotta – one for dining and another for bathing in the master bedroom. As for the other room, you’ll need to traverse your private grounds. Pass by the saltwater pool, mini waterfall, olive trees, deck chairs, barbecue, and a plush dining area before arriving at another building. It has a fortress-like appearance, again in a rich terracotta, where you can find yet more peace and serenity as you sip negronis in bed.

Terracotta Olive

Step inside a traditional Trullo with a stay in this home nestled among the olive trees of Puglia. Consisting of a main house and an independent annexe, this is a great option for guests seeking rustic Italian charm. It’s worth noting the indoor living room is small, but you will have plenty of outdoor space thanks to the private pool and terrace. You’ll also be perfectly placed to explore the region. From here, it’s just 6.5 kilometres to Ostuni and the nearest amenities, while the beaches of the Adriatic coast are just 15 kilometres away. 


The Stone & The Olive

Looking for a relaxed stay in Apulia? You've found it. This home is sun-kissed, stylish, and set just 9 kilometres from Ostuni. Though modern, the design embodies the spirit of the area's famous trulli – think white-washed walls, simple decor, and natural elements. But it's the outside space here that really shines. There's a private pool surrounded by sun loungers, perfect for summer days, and a terrace where you can sit back with a cocktail and bask in the fresh air.

Apulian Dream

Beach Essentials

Nestled in the Ostuni countryside, this home provides a unique retreat surrounded by greenery. Made up of three apartments, each sleeping four people, it’s an ideal base for large groups who like to holiday together, yet still enjoy some private time. It’s worth bearing in mind that in each separate space, there’s a bedroom and the remaining two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area, but it’s a small price to pay for what this home offers. Outdoors, sun-kissed terraces, shaded alfresco dining spots and a private pool await, or you can venture into the charming whitewashed city of Ostuni for a true taste of Italy. 

Italian Haze

Mirroring the iconic whitewashed stone of the nearby Puglia town of Ostuni, this villa brings a truly unique experience in the southern Italian countryside. A traditional trullo-style home with the distinctive conical roofs, this home offers comforting decor inside and relaxing features outside, including sun loungers, outdoor seating and a private pool. From here, it’s an easy drive to get to Ostuni, where you can wander the ‘white city’ and get a better sense of what makes Puglia so unique.

 White Stone Trullo

Accessible Parking

Set within terraced gardens and surrounded by olive and fruit trees, this picturesque Puglian home is perfect for small groups of friends or family seeking the ultimate Itria Valley experience. Comprising carefully restored Trulli – mid-19th-century dry-stone structures with conical roofs – along with contemporary architectural additions, this elegant and enchanting home has it all. 

Owned by an interior design enthusiast, this incredible home features a characterful kitchen and dining room complete with terrifically tiled walls and floors and wonderfully worn wooden furniture. Objets d’art and antique Italian lamps add a sense of both style and substance.

You’ll love flinging open the doors of the kitchen-diner and taking your morning coffee out on the veranda, which overlooks the lawn and olive trees beyond. While away hours wandering about the landscaped gardens or reading and reclining on the vibrant green outdoor sofa before cooling off with a refreshing dip in your private, outdoor pool.  Rinse off under the outdoor shower and peruse the kitchen garden’s seasonal offerings before spending the afternoon grilling a feast of fresh meat or fish in the stone barbecue area, and dining alfresco on the covered terrace. Enjoy relaxing with your loved one on the veranda in the Puglian sunshine while sipping wine from the vineyards of Salento. At the day’s end, savour a little me time in the relaxation corner before climbing up into your cosy raised bed in the alcove.

If you fancy a little light exploration, the whitewashed hilltop town of Ostuni – also known as La Città Bianca – home of historic lanes, steep alleyways and colourful trattorias, is just over a ten-minute drive away. Equally nearby is food lovers’ paradise, Ceglie Messapica. Well-known towns such as Locorotondo, Martina Franca and famous Alberobello, with its 14th-century Trulli, are also within easy reach, while the Adriatic coast can be reached in twenty minutes.


Among the Olive & Orange Trees

Located between Ceglie Messapica and San Michele Salentino, this home is made up of two separate trullos, so it’s ideal if you’re looking for something traditional. While the additional building offers a little extra privacy, it’s not the most spacious home in the world (one of the beds is located within the living area), but it’s perfect for a small family or group of close friends. The garden offers plenty of picturesque spots to relax, from the swimming pool to the patio complete with an alfresco dining area and sofas.

The Noble Stone

Hidden amongst olive trees, this villa is a great base for a Puglia adventure. The outdoor spaces stand out here – the private pool is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, while the alfresco dining area and outdoor kitchen mean you'll rarely need to venture inside. The interior is pleasant, though it lacks natural light in places. And while we loved the exposed brickwork in the living area, one of the beds is here – this might prove inconvenient and makes the home more suitable for families in our eyes. Location-wise, you're well served, because not only is the coast not far away, the charming city of Ostuni is just a 3km drive.

Mystic Gardens

Access to Beach

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.
