It’s not just the uninterrupted sea view that drew us to this villa on Puglia’s Ionian coast – the lagoon-shaped pool and private spa with its Turkish bath certainly helped. Views of the azure Ionian Sea are certainly one of the highlights though, from shaded outdoor terraces, lawn chairs and from the big window by the dining table. Glass sliding doors open up the kitchen to the terrace, so shuttling salads outside for an evening’s barbecue is easy. Inside, the group can spread out between a main lounge and a second seating area by the kitchen, and those working remotely can hide away in the dedicated office room. For days out, the historic city of Taranto is a short drive up the coast and Canne Beach is a short walk.

Home truths

    While not all of the bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    This villa is split over two levels, so it may not suit those with limited mobility.

    Small, well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you. Just let your host know in advance if you're bringing a four-legged friend.

    The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.

    In a fairly remote location, having a car is recommended. There is plenty of private parking within the grounds.

About Taranto

Also known as the “island city”, the Centro Storico of Taranto isn’t actually in the centre. An imposing stone fortress from the 15th century dominates the artificial island, where you’ll find the atmospheric streets of Taranto’s old quarter. A little further back in time, this place was once the ancient Greek colony of Taras, and you can still see crumbling ruins of Doric temples dating back to 6 BCE –...
