A carefully restored 19th-century palazzo in the heart of Tuglie, this house carries the weight of its history with ease – antique-market finds and pieces sourced from artisan workshops give each room a character that no catalogue could replicate. The shaded terrace off the kitchen is made for long, unhurried meals, while the upper terrace catches the afternoon sun above the village rooftops. Inside, the grand living and dining rooms reward slow evenings. The Ionian coastline – with its famously clear water – is within easy reach, making this a natural base for exploring southern Puglia.

Home truths
The home is spread across two floors connected by an internal staircase, so you'll be moving between levels regularly. The delicate furnishings also mean the home is best suited to adults or families with older children.
The twin bedroom is quite small with limited storage space. However, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.
Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request.
You'll need to contact your host at least two days before arrival to arrange check-in and share your travel details – it's worth building this into your planning, especially if your schedule changes close to arrival.

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.
