Set among ancient olive trees this historic stone Masseria is a charming place to stay. The property was once the summer retreat for a religious order and has been transformed into a holiday villa, seamlessly blending history with contemporary design. At the heart of the property is the spacious courtyard and private garden, surrounded by ancient dry-stone walls. In addition to the serene infinity pool there are panoramic terraces offering views of the traditional Trulli houses and a shaded lounge area, fringed by a citrus grove. There's a well-equipped kitchen indoors but we're particularly fond of the outdoor kitchen, perfect for enjoying Italian feasts alfresco.

Local guide
About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
