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

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

This delightful Mediterranean-style villa is perfect for two families. It’s perched in the countryside of Polignano a Mare, a short drive from the town centre and the sea. If you’re not a fan of sea swimming, fear not – the villa has a private pool. The outside space here is beautiful, with sun loungers and palm trees dotted around the pool, two outdoor showers, and a covered alfresco kitchenette with a wood-fired oven and barbecue. Inside, the villa is comfortable and attractive, with plenty of space. 

Puglian Poise

Italian charm, natural beauty and plenty of privacy: this home welcomes you to enjoy it all from its peaceful spot in Puglia. Consisting of the traditional trulli, this is a wonderful setting to step back in time whilst also enjoying a range of contemporary comforts. Outside, you can spend leisurely days by the swimming pool. There is also an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and a sound system. Inside, the rooms are simple and family-friendly with a sofa bed for one guest in the living room. Your host is also on hand to help organise sweet extras like a private chef – perfect for those looking to celebrate a special occasion. And for adventures further afield, it’s less than 15 kilometres to Polignano a Mare, while Castellana Grotte is just 3 kilometres away. 

Amore Puglia

Surrounded by stunning Apulian countryside, yet just twenty minutes by car from the centre of Monopoli – this quintessential Mediterranean villa offers guests a private slice of serenity from the moment they open the front gate. Upon entering the home, you'll be welcomed by the soothing earthy tones of the home's original features, including tiled stone floors throughout and whitewashed exposed brickwork in the living area. Antique dark wooden furniture and terracotta ornaments complement the character and complete the home's Mediterranean aesthetic with infinite elegance. Leading out to the garden, French doors pave the way to a small terrace featuring day beds by the pool and a shaded chill-out area, which serves as the perfect spot for your morning coffee. Another large pergola offers a second living area, bringing the indoors outside – with a plush corner sofa, outdoor kitchen and dining table that remain shaded from the sun. This luscious corner of the home is a hidden gem that allows guests to relax as they would inside without compromising on losing garden views overlooking the countryside with olive and fruit trees growing all around. 


Tiles & Terracotta

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

The highlight of this city apartment is truly the rooftop terrace, which offers bird's-eye views over the surrounding scenery. Cook up a light bite in the compact kitchen and dine under the stars, or enjoy your breakfast alfresco – the choice is yours. The sleeping quarters are set up perfectly for a family travelling with little ones, too, with the main bedroom featuring a double and single, as well as a pull-out sofa in the living room. And, while at max capacity it may feel a bit snug, if you're planning to spend your days seeing the city sights, this place ticks a lot of boxes.

Monopoli Gem

Situated just outside the coastal town of Polignano a Mare in the Apulian countryside, this villa is a true oasis and much of that is down to what lies outside.

You almost sound like you’re bragging when you try to list all the things that make the exterior such a dream — a large garden dotted with Mediterranean plants, a swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, and a comfy lounge and dining setup on the terrace, complete with an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue grill and a wood-burning oven. 

When you finally get around to heading inside, we promise you that you won't be disappointed. There's a wealth of space and a pretty strict colour palette of whites, which makes it an instantly cooling place to hang out during the height of summer. The open fireplace adds a touch of period charm, too.

In the local area, the beaches and turquoise waters at Polignano a Mare take around fifteen minutes to reach in the car. A little further afield, the old town and harbour of Bari are only forty minutes' drive.

White Velvet

Situated in the heart of the Apulian countryside, you'll be just a twenty-minute drive away from Monopoli. The home itself invites guests to enjoy an authentic experience brimming with the typical Mediterranean character and charming hidden gems around every corner. With its quirky lay out, the home is spread across one floor and offers a sociable setting ideal for large families or groups of friends looking for a place to enjoy spending time together. Since the bedrooms are located in a separate annexe, guests needn't worry about maintaining enough privacy in such a large group setting – as a peaceful night's sleep is guaranteed. Transitioning indoor living through to the outdoor area, through floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, you'll be chilling out in the covered kitchen and living area while feeling like you're still outside in the garden. With stunning views and the beaming sun in your pocket all day long here, it's safe to say it won't be easy to tear yourself away from this little corner of paradise. But when you do want to venture further afield, the villa is easily connected to tourist hot spots, such as Monopoli (7 km away), Castellana Grotte (12 km away) and Alberobello (reachable in 28 km).

The Citrus Grove

Behind the rich Mediterranean vegetation of vines, flowers, fruit trees and ornamental plants growing in the garden – prepare to be mesmerized by the sea blue views in the distance. With such a prime location, be on the beach in just five minutes as the villa resides only one kilometre from the sandy stretches of Capitolo with a wealth of restaurants, clubs and bars. To enter the home, you'll have access past a luscious garden adorned with trees and plants or the option to walk around to the entrance by the pool and via the outdoor living area featuring comfortable seating and an alfresco dining area with a barbecue. Inside, you'll find open space –ensuring a sociable stay and one where guests can enjoy the experience as a group. Gather around the living area for an evening aperitif after a day in the sun or come together to cook an authentic Italian meal together in the kitchen/ dining room corner. With stunning sea views from the bedroom upstairs, you may end up fighting over who gets the master suite, but let's face it, in reality, everyone is a winner when staying in this blissful hideaway. 


Behind the Vines

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.
