Gazing out across the Adratic sea, this home will captivate you from the moment of arrival. You can soak it all in from the private pool and there’s a terrace with barbecue for alfresco dining. Inside, the rooms are refreshingly simple and ideal for families with the handy addition of a single sofa-bed in the living room. You might not want to leave this private sanctuary, but it’s possible to walk to the nearest beach. Bikes are available for use and it’s just a leisurely stroll to local bars and restaurants in Castro.

Home truths
At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room.
There are a lot of steps to climb here so this home may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
Please note there is a road between the house and the sea. It’s also worth noting the neighbouring terrace is only separated by a few flower pots so it doesn’t feel completely private.
While we love the views from this home, it is worth noting that the rooms are basic.
Street-parking is available here.

About Puglia
If you’re looking to slow down the pace of life for a few weeks, there are worse places than Puglia.
