This stay in Puglia feels like your own private resort. Made up of five traditional dry stone houses, it’s ideal for groups wanting a bit of independence. Outside, the terraced gardens look out over the sea. You can cool off in the small pools or meet on the rooftop terrace for sunset drinks. There’s even a pétanque court and a wellness area with a sauna and a Jacuzzi. Most meals will take place in the large kitchen, though a second small kitchenette is also available – even better, there's also the option of a private chef. Local bars, restaurants, and the nearest beach are just a five-minute drive away.
