Vetted by our experts
Converted from Trulli and Lamie structures – traditional buildings native to Puglia – and built atop an ancient farming village, this eclectic homestead is positively spellbinding, with white-tipped stone roofs reaching to meet the ever-blue sky. Each structure is its own private haven, and as you pass under the arched doorways, you'll find much of the old architectural charm retained, with original stonework perfectly blending into pristine walls. In the domed enclaves, rich leather dining chairs, light wooden furniture and beautiful tiled floors create an inviting, modern feel. Outside, the garden is scented with lavender hedges and endowed with unparalleled views of the olive groves beyond. After a refreshing swim in the inviting pool, gather around for a game of mini golf and plan an evening of alfresco cooking and dining in the balmy air.
We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.

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.
