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. 



The Olive Cove

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

Anyone looking to experience the traditional charm of Puglia will love this home. Featuring the iconic Trullo as well as a range of contemporary comforts, this is the perfect setting for a relaxing retreat. There’s a saltwater pool for refreshing dips and the terrace lends itself perfectly to alfresco dining. Inside, the rooms are simple and family friendly with each of the bedrooms featuring en-suite bathrooms. Housekeeping is included in your stay and your host can help organise a private chef and airport transfers. Plus, it’s just 2 kilometres to the historic centre of Carovigno, while Ostuni is just a ten-minute drive away. 

The Trullo of Beauty 

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

Situated in a picturesque setting, within walking distance of the whitewashed city of Ostuni, this home serves an authentic slice of southern Italian life. Relax in the sun by the private swimming pool, then dine and drink on the terrace at sunset. Meanwhile, inside, you’ll find plenty of character and simple interiors. Being an older home, some of the doorways here are low, but the charm of this place more than makes up for that. This trullo provides a peaceful retreat while still being within easy reach of local amenities and the beautiful coastline.

White City Treasure

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. 

White Crocuses

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.

Hard To Beat

With its whitewashed stone and curved ceilings, you're sure to have a memorable stay here. It consists of two separate units – there's a main trullo as well as an annexe with a living area and kitchenette perfect for those wanting extra privacy. As much as we love the heritage inside, the outdoor spaces are the real highlight. The garden has been designed with relaxation in mind. Spend your days swimming in the private pool and Jacuzzi (which can be heated for a fee), wining and dining on the terrace, and admiring the Apulian countryside on your doorstep. When you're ready to explore, you'll find San Vito dei Normanni, Carovigno, and Ostuni within easy driving distance.

The Ivory Trullo

Located in the heart of Puglia’s picturesque countryside, this traditional trullo home is a unique base for a family holiday or as a retreat for a group of friends. The interior may be on the minimalist side but it’s hard not to fall under the spell of the whitewashed walls and conical ceilings. In addition to that, you’ll also enjoy a garden with a private swimming pool and an outdoor hot tub. For delicious family meals, gather in the alfresco dining area or head inside where a generous table also awaits. Bear in mind that a car is recommended here in order to explore the area and reach the nearby towns, which include Ostuni. 

Good Heart

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

For those that want to get in touch with nature, this rebuilt farmer’s shack in the Puglian countryside is the perfect getaway.  Though you’re still just a five-minute drive from the supermarkets, restaurants and winding old streets of San Michele Salentino, and the UNESCO trulli houses of Ostuni are a twenty-minute drive (perfect for a day trip).

It’s all about escaping the everyday and embracing the landscape here. Surrounded by acres of olive groves and fruit orchards, you’ve got a natural larder to play with – perfect for cooking alfresco in the outdoor kitchen. The entire living space is designed to be outdoors, with the lounge sofas sets around a fire pit and the full kitchen shaded by bamboo and looking out into the olive grove. There’s a swimming pool for cooling off, a hammock strung beneath a century-old olive tree and an outdoor shower tucked away too.

The only thing you’ll find inside is the bedroom and bathroom. It’s a world of sleek concrete in here, with a desk should you fancy a spot of writing (there’s no Wifi, it’s time to take it easy). There’s a small sofa should the weather take a turn, and it’s set by the picture-frame window so you can still enjoy a glimpse of the rust-red land. But this place is designed for living outdoors, under the warmth of the southern Italian sun.
