Ancient olive groves surround this white limestone villa near Ostuni, and the landscape isn't just backdrop – it's part of the daily rhythm here. The living room's floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide back to connect you directly with the pool and garden, while a shaded terrace is made for long, unhurried lunches with groves stretching to the horizon. The 20-metre pool invites proper morning swims, and a roof terrace – reached by a floating stairway – earns its keep at sunset. Ostuni's hilltop old town is a twenty-seven-minute drive when you're ready to venture out.

Home truths
The second bedroom's two single beds can be made up as a double or as twins — let your host know your preference before you arrive.
You're in the open Puglian countryside here, so you'll need a car to reach beaches, restaurants, and the local towns. Ostuni, Lecce, and Brindisi are all within around thirty-minutes to an hour's drive.
The second bathroom is not en-suite — it sits adjacent to the second bedroom but is unattached, so guests in that room step out to access it.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay for no additional charge.
You won't find a television here, but we doubt you'll miss it – this is a place to switch off and recharge.
For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.

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. Puglia’s also famous for its Trulli houses. The conical stone roofs of these huts are synonymous...
