Just seconds away from the gorgeous Ionian Coast, this two-storey home's beachside location more than makes up for its lack of a pool. There are several spots to look out over the turquoise water here – perfect for alfresco dining or a sunset cocktail. You'll even find an outdoor Jacuzzi to retire to once it's dark. Indoors, we weren't as keen on the simple decor, but everything you'll need for an extended stay is there. If you tire of days at the beach – and given the home provides access to kayaks, we'll wonder if you will – you'll find the historic towns of Sava and Taranto a short drive away.

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.

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.

Experience the quiet charm of Ostuni with a stay in this rustic retreat. Nestled in the heart of the Parco delle Dune Costiere, it’s within easy reach of the seafront and the beautiful beaches lining the coast. You can also spend blissful days lounging by the private pool and there is an outdoor kitchen for alfresco dining. Inside, all three of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms and you’ll find plenty of space to relax and unwind after a day in the sun. Your host is also on hand to help organise a range of extra services – including guided tours, boat charters and wine tastings.

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.

Perched on the outskirts of Matera, this apartment is just the right amount of stylish and charming. Its highlight is undoubtedly the solarium, with space for alfresco dining and sunbathing. The en-suite bathtub is sunken into the ground, offering spectacular views through the French doors. There's space to park for free on the street, but the city centre is so close that you won't necessarily need a car to get the most out of your stay here. You'll have easy access to Matera's fantastic restaurants and truly unique architecture, with buildings built into the natural caves of the Murgia.

With its beautiful frescoed ceiling, arched walls, and cavernous spaces, this apartment makes for an atmospheric stay in the heart of the Baroque city of Lecce. Alongside historical features such as traditional shutters, the home has pops of modernity, from the bright artwork to the blue chandeliers.  Unusually for this packed-in city, this home has a private swimming pool – perfect for cooling off in the height of Puglia's summer. The sheltered terrace looks over the pool and we love the idea of long lunches or late dinners with friends here. Alternatively, Lecce's many seafood restaurants are only a short stroll along the cobbled streets. The house is in the centre of the city, with Roman amphitheatres, medieval castles, and grand cathedrals all jostling for space. On warmer days, it's less than a thirty-minute drive to the Mediterranean and many seaside tavernas.

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.

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

Nestled in the heart of Old Gallipoli, this wonderfully authentic, light filled home has it all –beautifully preserved historical features, modern home comforts, and the perfect central location. Magnificent vaulted ceilings, original frescoes, and age-old cement tiled floors give you a taste of the region's past while the private roof terrace offers spectacular views out across the Ionian Sea. Accessed via an internal staircase, this is the perfect place to relax come morning, noon or night-time. You’ll want to laze on the sunbed before cooling off under the outdoor shower, barbeque and eat alfresco at the gazebo covered dining table or cosy up together with a glass of wine beneath the stars. 

Alternatively spend the day at the Beach of Purity, a mere 200 metres away, or by exploring the old town centre’s numerous Baroque churches and aristocratic palazzi before strolling down to the sea-front promenade and sampling one of the city’s many cafes, bars and restaurants. Whatever you do, at the day’s end make sure not miss the opportunity for that nightcap on the terrace!

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

If you’re seeking a picturesque home in central Monopoli, this second-floor apartment is just the ticket. There’s no parking here, but this city on the Adriatic Sea is easily explored on foot. Speaking of, you’ll find the Baroque Monopoli Cathedral, the 16th-century Castle of Carlo V, and the frescoed Palmieri Palace within walking distance. Located within a period building, you’ll find plenty of original features here. Though you’ll need to climb the stairs up, you'll love spending evenings on the rooftop terrace relaxing with wine and grilling up dinners.

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.

Stay in an authentic Puglian trullo at this home in the Castellana Grotte countryside. Spanning a main house with iconic cone-shaped roofs, a modern addition filled with light, and a traditional stone-built tower, this villa has a lot of charm. Most of your relaxing will take place in the garden – there's a private pool with an added hydromassage, and plenty of sun-kissed spots to enjoy a glass of wine. The bedrooms are spread across the different buildings, though the one with single beds is in an alcove and lacks a door. Location-wise, you're not far by car from Monopoli and Polignano a Mare – both great options for day trips.

No doubt about it, this idyllic Itria Valley home is pure Puglian perfection. Comprising carefully restored Trulli – traditional dry-stone structures with a conical roof – along with contemporary architectural additions, this authentic home oozes character and charm as well as sophistication and style. Featuring an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space – think whitewashed walls, awesome archways and cool tiled floors – as well as two beautifully serene bedrooms, this heavenly home is perfect for a couple of couples or family group seeking some good old-fashioned R & R. Occupying a tucked-away and tranquil spot and surrounded by gorgeous greenery, this wonderfully white home boasts spaces fit for socialising as well as seclusion.

Laze on loungers in the sun or luxuriate in your private, outdoor pool. Prepare family favourites on the white worktops in the kitchen before dining alfresco on the poolside terrace. Treat yourself to an afternoon snooze or seek the calm of the colourful courtyard. Find a quiet place to sit and read a book on the banquette seating in the sitting room or relax with a glass of local wine on the sofa. Round off a romantic day with time spent in the master bedroom’s free-standing tub.

If you fancy a little light exploration, you’ll find you’re a ten-minute drive away from both the Valley towns of Locorotondo and Cisternino. Set off on scenic walks or cycle routes or venture a little further and discover iconic Ostuni – also known as ‘The White City’ – famous for its 15th-century Gothic cathedral.  


Terracotta Heaven

This villa is a modern oasis just outside the charming town of Carovigno, where you’ll find authentic restaurants, shops and supermarkets. Moreover, the villa is conveniently located just a fifteen-minute drive from the beautiful beaches of the Adriatic coast, where you can relax and explore the unspoilt nature and beaches of the Torre Guaceto nature reserve. The villa comprises a main house and two independent trulli, making it perfect for larger groups. Laze out by the pool, sip cocktails in the outdoor lounge and grill up dinners in the outdoor kitchen – bliss.

Serenity, class and comfort ooze from every facet of this stunning Italian trullo. The features are magnificent, from the whitewashed stone to the rustic fireplace – you’ll feel completely at home. A masterpiece in design, if you aren’t looking up at the beamed ceilings, you will be looking down at the beautiful rugs covering the majestic tiled flooring. You’ll find yourself wandering through this home with a large glass of wine, enjoying the beauty of the interiors. 

Awake from a lovely relaxing sleep to find light peeking through the quaint castle-like windows. Make yourself a coffee and sink into the large contemporary sofa for a peaceful morning and moment of calm, before indulging in breakfast alfresco surrounded by your loved ones and taking in the beauty of your surroundings with bright flowers, greenery and clean white wicker furniture to enjoy. As the Italian sun warms your skin, you’ll welcome the refreshing waters of your cool blue pool where you can while away the hours during the heat of the day. 

If you fancy exploring the local surroundings, restaurants and shops are within walking distance or a short drive away for convenience. Sample a traditional bowl of pasta with a little limoncello and you’ll never want to leave. 

Rustic Italian Wanderlust

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

Whitewashed walls, stone ceilings, and a sun soaked terrace – this place has got Ostuni written all over it. You’ll find it to the north of the city centre, tucked down a quiet street but still within easy reach of a whole host of bars and restaurants for eating out. The terrace is the star of the show, boasting sweeping views of the Puglian coast, but the apartment as a whole feels warm and homely, making it exactly the kind of place you’ll want to chill out in after a busy day of sightseeing.

Ostuni Palace

Moments from the beach, this home is perfectly placed for a refreshing coastal escape. There’s a peaceful garden and a terrace for alfresco dining. Inside, the rooms offer comfort, character and all the essentials you could need to relax and unwind. Maid service is included in your stay and your host is on hand to help organise special extras like welcome hampers and organised excursions. Plus, it’s just a short drive into the majestic heart of Ostuni, while Brindisi is just a thirty-minute drive away.

Sea Garden

This limestone trulli house, with its conical roof, is particular to the region of Puglia, so where better to stay on a trip to the heel of southern Italy? Set in five acres of land, with ancient olive groves and fruit trees, there are many seating areas to choose from, whether you are enjoying a breakfast of fresh Italian fruit, eating a barbecued dinner or knocking back a sundowner. The sleek pool is the perfect spot to cool off from the summer heat, while inside a traditional wood-burning stove will keep you warm on chilly evenings. 

Conical Roof

This cluster of Trulli homes is like a fairytale illustration come to life. Each bone-white stone structure is home to a separate bedroom, kitchen and living room, with the outside space connecting them all together. Inside, comfy beds are nestled in archways and circular rooms have bare stone walls for an authentic feel. There’s no shortage of mod-cons though, with flatscreen TVs and desks for remote working if you need.

Really, though, this place was made for outdoor living, making the most of the sunny climes of Italy’s heel. There’s a full outdoor kitchen with a traditional stone bread oven, and myriad places to dine in the sun or shade – the choice is yours. Seats in the shade of ancient olive trees provide a moment’s respite. But the piece de resistance has to be the covered hot tub, surrounded by sun loungers to dry off after.

The location is a boon too, just outside the centre of one of Puglia’s prettiest towns – Locorotondo. A cluster of white medieval churches makes up the historic hilltop centre, where winding cobbled streets are filled with family-run trattoria and slow-food eateries. The UNESCO town of Ostuni is also within day-trip distance if you have a car. 

Bone-White Stone

Just a few minutes stroll from the beach, this home opens its doors to a laidback coastal getaway. Surrounded by olive trees, the garden sets the tone for slow days relaxing by the pool. There’s also a wood-burning oven and a barbecue for alfresco dining and you’ll have a ping pong table for family fun. Inside, the rooms are set across the main house and the independent trullo – perfect for those seeking a little extra privacy. And when it comes to explorations further afield, it’s just a short drive to the village of Torricella, while Taranto and Porto Cesareo are also within easy driving distance. 

The Light of Joy 

This delightful apartment is just a two-minute walk from the historic centre of Carovigno. Ostuni is a fifteen-minute drive away, and the beautiful Marina di Torre Guaceto nature reserve is only twenty minutes away – a varied holiday awaits here. The apartment is elegant and full of personality, with a blend of authentic features – including vaulted ceilings, exposed stone, and marble floors – and modern touches. The terrace is a wonderful spot for alfresco dining and sunbathing. 

Caro Carovigno

This single-level villa places you in Puglia's interior, in a large patch of land dotted with olive trees – a perfect country retreat. Only 30 minutes from Brindisi and 10 from the charming San Vito Dei Normanni, you'll have the chance to explore Italy's heel here. At home, the living space is minimalist and functional – we felt it created a soothing atmosphere, although it lacks a little character. But step outside, and you'll see why we fell in love with the place – a gorgeous pool, alfresco dining and an outdoor kitchen mean you can spend plenty of time basking in the sun with a negroni, with nothing but the olive trees in view.

Fenced Pool

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

Workplace

Tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood near the centre of Lecce, this charming apartment beautifully blends contemporary living with classic Salento architecture. Step inside and you'll find handcrafted ceramic tiles, exposed stone walls and high vaulted ceilings, giving this home plenty of charm and a natural ambience. The cosy breakfast area is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee and a home-cooked meal in the morning before heading out to explore the town.

You'll be within easy distance of the magnificent Piazzo del Duomo here, a famous square housing a baroque cathedral considered by many to be the most beautiful building in the city. Many of the area's main craft shops, wine bars, markets and restaurants are all within walking distance of the apartment, should you fancy a little retail therapy or a taste of the local cuisine. 

When you get home after a day of wandering along the town's cobblestone lanes, head home to enjoy an evening drinking wine in the private courtyard. 

Salento Star Vaults

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

Nestled in the heart of the historic Italian city of Lecce lies this boutique apartment, spread over two floors. While away the hours up on the beautiful private rooftop terrace where you can enjoy a drink, lie back on the sun loungers or prepare some antipasti in the outdoor kitchen to nibble on as you socialise and bask in the Italian sunshine. If you need to get some last-minute remote work done during your stay before you can relax, set yourself up at the dining table downstairs. Stand at the Juliet balcony in the main bedroom in the morning and look down at the street below as you sip your morning coffee, and make the most of this gorgeous city.

Modern, cosy, and practical too – this home places you right in the heart of the city, so if you don't have a car you don't have to worry about missing out on all the experiences and attractions that Lecce has to offer. Dig into mouth-watering meals and try delectable local wines at the wide range of restaurants, bars and cafes within walking distance from this home.
