Standing amongst rows of olive trees, this villa is a fantastic spot for those seeking a rural Italian retreat. The shaded balconies are lovely spots to relax during the hot afternoons, and the infinity pool lets you look out across the nearby vegetation as you cool off in the water. Although there is a sofa bed here, it's not exactly convenient – being located on the ground floor, you'll need to use the external staircase to access the ensuite bathrooms upstairs. Nearby, you'll find Ostuni, famed for its white buildings and labyrinthian streets. If you just want to relax, you'll also find plenty of sandy beaches close by.

Local guide
About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
