With its whitewashed stone walls and tree-lined garden, this Italian villa is a peaceful little hideaway – just thirty minutes from the coast. There’s plenty of space for the whole group to relax or let off steam, whether that’s a morning dip in the pool, an afternoon snooze on the terrace, or a barbecue dinner as the sun sets. Don’t feel like cooking? Head ten minutes into Martano for local trattorias and bars. And when the sea starts calling, Otranto and its beaches are close enough for a day trip.
