Combining Apulia tradition with modern luxury (think whirlpools and wine coolers), this villa is the perfect spot for an indulgent escape. The three separate buildings that comprise this home (including a unique stone trullo bedroom) all connect to the garden, providing both privacy and opportunities for socialising. Thoughtful touches, such as the summer kitchen with its soapstone grill and the outdoor sound system, will make for memorable evenings – and there's no better place to watch the sunset than the rooftop pool. Meanwhile, younger guests will enjoy the outdoor games area with ping-pong and table football. And if you needed a reason to leave the house (unlikely), Ostuni is just a ten-minute drive away.

Local guide


About Ostuni

You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
