Behind this home's surrounding olive groves and quaint trullo exteriors lie chic interiors waiting to be discovered. The minimalist design, with striking lighting and sleek surfaces, only emphasises the traditional arched roofs of this Apulian home – you're guaranteed a good night's rest in these cave-like surroundings. But as inviting as the interiors might be, the expansive gardens are the highlight – down at the poolside kitchen, you can cook and feast with family or friends, and around the stone terraces and lawns, there are plenty of quiet spots to unwind. This peaceful spot might seem miles away from the real world – but it's just a short drive to the seaside town of Monopoli.
