Surrounded by over one hundred centuries-old olive trees in the Apulian countryside, this stone villa is the kind of place where time slows down naturally. The pool is lit in the evenings, making it easy to linger well past sunset, and the covered veranda – with its wood-fired oven and barbecue – invites long, unhurried meals outdoors. Alberobello's UNESCO-listed trulli are about thirty-five minutes by car, and the famous Castellana Grotte caves are a twenty-four-minute walk away.

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.
