A 19th-century masseria surrounded by ancient olive groves in the Puglian countryside, this villa pairs old-world character with the kind of outdoor life that makes a week feel too short. The saltwater pool sits at the heart of it all, with two acres of fenced garden, a covered sunbathing area, an outdoor sauna, and a shaded alfresco dining terrace for long evenings under the stars. Inside, a grand piano and fireplace anchor the main living room, while the ground-floor bedroom with its in-room Jacuzzi adds a quietly indulgent note. Alberobello's trulli are a twenty-minute drive, and the cave network at Grotte di Castellana is just twelve-minutes by car.

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.
