This compact home caught our eye for its sea views from the terrace. The private pool here may be small, but with vistas like that, we don’t think you’ll mind. You’ve also got loungers for relaxing afternoons and an outdoor dining table for alfresco meals. While the apartment isn’t the biggest in our collection, it has everything you’ll need for a fuss-free stay. Location-wise, you’re in the seaside hamlet of Marina di Marittima, with the nearest beach just a stone’s throw away.

About Puglia

If you’re looking to slow down the pace of life for a few weeks, there are worse places than Puglia. This is Italy at its most Italian, with year-round good weather (though it can get hot in the summer) and an estimated 60 million olive trees. That’s a lot of groves to wander through.
