Surrounded by carob and olive trees, this dome roofed home offers a truly unique experience in the Apulian countryside, just a twenty-minute drive away from the quaint seaside town of Monopoli. As part of a complex of two properties, your Mediterranean abode retains its peaceful privacy with its own patio garden and pool area. Laze around on the day beds to catch some sun, or perch under the shaded pergola with a book in hand. Inside the warm interiors with mellow hues and wooden accents, invite guests to unwind by the fireplace or upstairs in the soothing mezzanine bedroom. Cook up a delicious homemade dinner and dine alfresco on the terrace before beginning an evening's pamper session in the spa-like bathroom. You're bound to feel revitalised and ready for the next day's adventures after a soak in the enormous bathtub with a glass of bubbles in hand and a view over the entire patio and pool area.
