Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A restored palazzo in the heart of Bagnolo del Salento, this home wraps around a private courtyard where a heated pool sits framed by ancient walls – the kind of spot you'll struggle to leave. Vaulted ceilings and a music salon give the interiors a grandeur that feels earned rather than staged, while the dining room is made for long celebratory meals. A private chef can bring traditional Apulian cooking to the table using ingredients from local fishermen and nearby markets, and attentive staff take care of the rest. Cafes, bakeries and restaurants are all within walking distance.

Local guide
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...
