Sitting in a particularly picturesque part of the Puglian countryside, this white home can boast of a pair of Trullo roofs that are so distinctive of this region, as well as lots of amenities for a truly relaxing stay.

The swimming pool in the middle of the bucolic grounds will be appreciated when the temperature sits in the twenties and beyond, while there's also a terrace on which to lounge and dine – perhaps with something straight off the barbecue in front of you.

When it comes to the living quarters, you'll find a characterful mix of the traditional and contemporary, with stone flooring and archways brightened up by bright white walls and subtle lighting. There'll be no complaints with the smart kitchen and bathrooms, nor the airy bedrooms.

In the surrounding Latiano countryside, there's an innate peacefulness, plus a fair few attractions in the shape of the pretty rural town of San Michele Salentino just under seven kilometres away and the Puglian coastline as close as 22 kilometres away.

Hot on the Heel

This tiny trullo embodies the meaning of the word 'alfresco'. A private pool flanked by sun loungers is perfect for a swim followed by a snooze. However, the crown jewel is the large outdoor kitchen. With a fireplace, dining table, and all the must-haves to whip up dinner, you'll have everything you need to embrace outdoor living to its fullest. Traditional details abound indoors, from cone-shaped ceilings to white-washed walls. It has a small kitchenette but no living room, so you'll most likely unwind outdoors. When you're ready to explore, Ostuni, Carovigno, and Puglia's pristine beaches are all less than 10 kilometres away.

Alfresco Atmosphere

Between the olive groves of the Puglian countryside, this villa is a lesson in minimalism and sleek design. An inviting private pool is at the centre of the outdoor space and the dining terrace (with a charcoal barbecue) looks out over ancient olive trees. Accommodation is split between the main building, where you’ll find one of the bedrooms and the sparse living area, kept cool by white stone walls. One of the bedrooms is in its own lamia building and a further bedroom is in the annexe with garden access. It’s a short drive to Ostuni for days wandering the ancient streets, and Brindisi is a short hop in the car.

Pomegranate Wishes

Part of a grand 16th-century mansion that’s been lovingly restored into apartments, this home is an excellent base in Ostuni for a couple or a small family. We think at most two adults can stay here comfortably as it’s on the smaller side – the pull-out bed is definitely better suited to children. It’s not massive but it does have heaps of charm, and the kitchen window looks out over the city’s rooftops. You’ll also have access to shared facilities including a relaxation area and an ancient chapel.


A Dream in Stone

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.

Acorns & Olive Wood

This beautiful home is connected with the surrounding Apulian countryside, making it a tranquil retreat. Spend your days soaking up the sun outside, cooling off in the private pool, or lounging in the minimalist living space with a holiday read. In the evening, fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco, toasting glasses of fine Italian wine. The house is spread between the main villa, an annex, and a traditional lamia, making this a great choice for three couples, as everyone will have their own space. 

Lamia Light

Showcasing original architectural features like thatched rooves and exposed stonework, this traditional trullo-style home offers a unique experience that can only be had in Puglia. The garden is large and fully fenced, with a playground and trampoline to keep the little ones happy. For the grown-ups, there are three dining verandas, a swimming pool and plenty of space to relax. The house itself is made up of several separate trulli, making it ideal for large groups as you can have a little privacy when needed. Set within a park of olive trees, it’s safe to say that the location is remote, so we’d recommend renting a car to get around (the freeway is just nine kilometres away). 

The Italian Portrait

Live like a true Apulian in this restored trullo with sunset views. This home sports an alfresco kitchen, a hammock and an outdoor shower by the private pool. On a single level, it's easy to navigate and the garden is fenced, so you can keep an eye on kids or pets. There's not much within walking distance, so we recommend hiring a car. But markets, beaches, towns and restaurants are a short drive away, so essentials and days out are close by. For larger groups or joint family holidays, the neighbouring trullo might also be available to rent.

The Rose of Michele

Encircled by olive groves, this traditional Apulian villa has an idyllic countryside setting. There’s an inviting infinity swimming pool surrounded by a spacious terrace dotted with sun loungers and shaded dining and seating areas – perfect for relaxing in the sunshine. We’re fans of the character features and calm design inside, but the main highlight is the spa with a Turkish bath. There’s plenty to entice you away from this little piece of paradise, though. The charming town of Ostuni, with its 15th-century Gothic cathedral, is just 10 kilometres away. Or if you want to spend the day on one of Puglia’s famous beaches, Costa Merlata is a 25-kilometre drive.

The Serenity of Sunlight

Experience Puglia to its fullest at this stone trullo in the countryside outside San Michele Salentino. Though you’ll need a car to reach the ‘White City’ of Otsuni and the closest beach, Spiaggia di Torre Guaceto, its secluded spot offers tranquillity. The villa itself features a modern interior with plenty of space to socialise. And while this home accommodates seven, we think it’s better suited to a smaller group, on account of the sofa bed sleeping arrangements. Outside, this home really shines – the pristine blue pool set against the red earthy landscape, the outdoor lounge for sipping locally-produced Primitivo and the outdoor kitchen for sharing burrata salads and grilled polpo. Bliss.

Citrus & Stone

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.
