The Cactus Garden

  • 8 guests

  • 4 bedrooms

  • 3 bathrooms

Looking like it has jumped straight out from the pages of Architectural Digest, this chic home blends traditional and contemporary design effortlessly. If you can draw your eyes away from the home itself for long enough, you’ll admire its stunning surroundings, from the cool cacti and lush almond and olive trees, to the breath-taking views of the sea from the roof terrace. With so much outdoor space, spend your days here hopping between soaking up the sun and shade bathing, from the comfy sofas to the poolside sun loungers. In the evenings, fire up the barbecue and wood-fire oven in the outdoor kitchen and dine al-fresco beneath the stars.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

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.
