With its shaded outdoor living area, private pool and views of the Ionian Sea, this home invites you to drop your bags and spend your days outside. While it may be hard to tear yourself away from the sunny terrace, there’s plenty to like about the interior too – we love the blue and white colour scheme makes it feel beachy throughout. And that’s to say nothing of the location – it’s a ten-minute walk to the coast, and a twenty-minute drive to the popular seaside town of Gallipoli, where you’ll find sandy beaches, historic Baroque buildings and delicious local cuisine.

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