Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A 17th-century palazzo in the heart of Sogliano Cavour, this home has been divided into two self-contained residences, each with its own private pool and outdoor space, making it a natural fit for larger groups travelling together. One home boasts a secret garden and a hidden staircase to a rooftop terrace with panoramic views over the town, while the other offers soaring vaulted ceilings and an alfresco dining terrace. For day trips, Lecce's ornate Baroque cathedral and the Adriatic coastline are both within reach.

Home truths
This home comprises two separate residences within a palazzo, each with its own private pool.
Both pools are open approximately April to October. One of the pools is heated mid-season, the other pool isn't heated.
While the not all of the bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
One of the en-suite bathrooms has a bath that's integrated into the room, another has an integrated shower, and one has an outdoor shower.
Two of the bedrooms here are connected.
Pets are welcome with advance approval from your host.
The rooftop terrace is accessed via a hidden staircase inside one of the upper bedrooms – a charming quirk, but worth knowing if you're planning to share that space with the whole group.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

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...
