Whether you’re in search of a romantic escape, a solo retreat or a restorative Italian adventure, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all with an abundance of charm and character. 

Sitting peacefully in the countryside of Carovigno with the beaches of Torre Guaceto just a short drive away, this is the perfect opportunity to embrace the magic of Italian living. From slow mornings sipping coffee on the shady terrace to cooling dips in the pool and lazy barbecue lunches, it’s easy to settle in and move to your own rhythm here. And for those days when you feel like exploring further afield, make the short drive to the seafront, follow one of the nearby hiking and cycle trails or visit the majestic old towns of Ostuni and Cisternino – both within easy driving distance. 

Wherever the day takes you, by night this home transforms into an intimate rural sanctuary – perfect for lingering al fresco meals and stargazing. 

Moonlight Memories

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.

Olives & Honey

In the very heart of Gallipoli’s historic centre, this apartment embraces the ancient and feels like a piece of history itself. The walled old town of Gallipoli juts out from Italy’s heel into the azure Adriatic where fishermen fix their nets and Italians flock here in summer for the sultry southern heat. This apartment sits in the narrow streets, where family-run restaurants have been serving fresh seafood for centuries and chi chi little cafés have cropped up in between ancient churches.

French doors open straight from the narrow street into the living area, which still retains ancient stone archways and barrel-vault ceilings. A design palette of bright white and honey-brown matches the historic touches of this apartment and slipping off to sleep in the boho-chic bedroom is a delight. The kitchenette may not have an oven, but there’s enough here to accommodate breakfast, quick meals and morning espressos. Besides, the charming restaurants of the old city are on your doorstep, so who wants to bother cooking anyway? 

The Fisherman's Rest

This ancient medieval tower has been restored to welcome couples and solo explorers. Charming and modern, it's worth noting there isn't a kitchen or living space here. Still, you'll find ample seating on the shared terrace and a breakfast buffet, making this a good base. The communal swimming pool and hot tub are also a bonus, but it's the location that really drew us to this spot. Located minutes from beautiful beaches like Torre Santa Sabina, the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve, and the historic center of Ostuni, this unlocks another side of Italy.


The Old Tower

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.

Città Bianche

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.

Under The Puglian Sun

It doesn’t get much more Puglian than a stay in a traditional trullo. Made entirely of whitewashed limestone, the distinctive conical design is a hallmark of the Itria Valley. This particular trullo has been tastefully updated to a space where historical charm meets modern comfort. There’s a mix of modern and antique furnishings, a small but well-equipped kitchen and a fabulous private pool, perfect for couples or a young family. Picture yourself taking a morning swim or a wander through the ancient olive groves that surround the garden. Escape from the midday heat with lunch and a glass of something chilled in the poolside pavilion before a snooze on one of the wooden sun loungers. Make sure you don’t miss a stroll through Alberobello, Puglia’s famous trulli town – there’s nowhere else like this in the world. 

Mountains Of Molehills

This one-bedroom apartment lies in an ancient medieval tower with a number of similar homes. The shared terrace provides space for sitting out and relaxing with an alfresco drink or meal. The communal hydromassage pool is open in the summer months – it's on the smaller side but is great for unwinding away from Carovigno's busy town centre. The kitchen at this home is quite small and the location means there is the potential for some noise from neighbours, but breakfast is provided between May and October and you'll find plenty of fantastic restaurants on your doorstep. You can pay to use a nearby public car park, and it's an easy drive to Ostuni and Brindisi for great days out.

Noble Tower Oasis

Wandering through cobbled alleyways, across the small piazzas and past quirky antique shops, you'll know you've just discovered one of Italy's hidden gems. This villa can be found in a quiet village, between the Gagliano de Capo countryside and the historic old town, and could not be more perfectly placed for soaking up the very best of Italy. 

The exterior is a quintessential country farmhouse, with picture-perfect window shutters and a stone patio that beckons you to take a seat and crack open a bottle of red wine. While away the hours with good weather and good company. 

Inside, there's rustic charm in abundance, plus all of the creature comforts that'll make you feel right at home. The garden, however, is where you'll likely spend most of your time, with a private swimming pool and enclosed garden that's perfect for soaking up all of that Meditteranean sunshine on a warm afternoon. Peruse the extensive library of books that are housed in the bedroom, then get comfortable in one of the sun loungers for a relaxing afternoon.

If you're an adventure-seeker, you might spend a day snorkelling or scuba diving in the crystal clear waters of Ponte del Ciolo, or hiking along the Regional Natural Coastal Park. Whether you're exploring majestic cathedrals or rugged coastlines, a serene evening awaits when you return to the peace of your private garden.

Old Town Treasures

One of fifteen apartments in a restored, 16th-century building, this home’s historic charm shines through – particularly with the domed ceiling in the bedroom. And while the kitchen is better suited to light bites rather than extravagant feasts, we think that’s a positive – especially when you have a selection of restaurants on your doorstep. With access to multiple communal areas including an inner courtyard, ancient chapel, lounge and relaxation area, you’ll enjoy a relaxing stay in the heart of Ostuni here. 

Il Lupo Rosso

Wild nature and ample serenity await at this home in the Puglian countryside. Surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and ancient farmhouses and just a short drive to the sea, this romantic bolthole offers a true taste of rural relaxation. A shaded deck and a private heated plunge pool are the true showstoppers here. You’ll also have access to the shared grounds and a larger communal swimming pool. Inside, minimalist decor and whitewashed walls provide a canvas for laid-back living, and while the kitchenette is better suited to light snacks, you need only hop in your car to explore the restaurants and sights of Fasano or the coastal beauty of Savelletri. 


Cactus Kaleidoscope 

Sitting right on the edge of Matera's ravine and overlooking the ancient limestone town, your locale's fascinating palaeolithic past comes into sharp focus from this luxurious apartment. 
 
Arched stone ceilings combine with dazzling white walls and stunning artworks to create a space that’s as soothing as it is stylish. We love the open-plan layout of the main living area that gets ample natural light from the large glass doors leading out onto a private terrace.

Decked out in soft cushioned seats and boasting a glass ledge proferring postcard-perfect views over the ravine, this is where you’ll want to while away the hours, feasting on the far-reaching vistas over a morning coffee or evening sundowner. There’s an outdoor tub here too with hot and cold water for further relaxation – as well as yoga mats should you wish to practice your sun salutations – while back inside, the upstairs bedroom has a freestanding tub that beckons luxurious hours with yet more incredible views to enjoy.
 
When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, walk fifteen minutes to discover the Sassi di Matera Unesco World Heritage Site and visit the ​​Palombaro lungo, a subterranean cistern known as the “Cathedral of Water”, a ten-minute stroll away. With your host able to organise hikes and horseriding excursions as well, you're all set for a memorable time.
