Ricotta Herb has all sorts of rustic charm. A dip in the pool, and you can feel the breeze from the surrounding olive, cherry and almond trees wash over you. Added to that, the decadent bedding, fluffy bath towels, soothing gardens and a hydro-massage pool are just a few of the hidden wonders of this home. We love how every last detail has been carefully considered when it comes to the finishing touches of this home, from the finest raw materials to the boutique hotel-like home luxuries – it offers a new take on a historic building to create a truly blissful retreat. The separate spaces are laid out across a central courtyard, granting privacy for all guests, all while presenting fresh interiors that remain humble to the original, historic charm of the Trulli, boasting an exposed brick vault in the typical cone shape. Blending the old and new, the space is a stunning fusion of original charm with contemporary fittings and up to date amenities. Positioned just outside is the historic town of Monopoli, while away leisurely afternoons at the posh promenade, taking in the picturesque sights as you wander the quaint and historic streets. With the Ionian Sea on one side and the Adriatic on the other, from here you'll also be a short drive away from stunning local beaches as well.

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.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
