Surrounded by olive groves in the heart of Valle d’Itria, this showstopper of a villa is a taste of traditional Puglian charm. Three of the bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms are in the main villa, with the final one housed in the restored stone trullo with a private patio. The villa has been stunningly designed with vintage furnishings, and outside there's a sparkling pool, shaded veranda, and fully equipped outdoor kitchen – perfect for sun-soaked days and starlit dinners. Twenty-five minutes from the whitewashed towns of Ostuni and Martina Franca, and just a short drive from the coast, this serene home is the ultimate Italian retreat.

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...
