Amongst the narrow winding streets of the dreamy Polignano, a Mare countryside rests this Apulian style sanctuary boasting panoramic views over fields and fields of fruit trees typical of the Macchia Mediterranea. So soak up the scents that fragrance the air with sweetness as the experience offered here will leave you pining for this breath of fresh air long after your stay. Since the sun is most likely to be shining, you'll find yourselves spending much of your time outside amidst the luscious gardens. Whether it's in the swimming pool, on the sun loungers, or over at the outdoor kitchen and alfresco dining area – the large patio terrace is sure to serve you well. There are even two outdoor showers and an outdoor bathroom available, so guests can rinse off without needing to traipse through the house. Of course, with an ambience omitting pure peace and serenity, relaxing couldn't be easier here – and there are plenty of seating areas to choose from if you're keen to take moments of solitude too. Meditate, do yoga, read a book or sit and admire the blissful setting with a refreshing drink in hand. While the garden may work wonders at soothing your soul, the house's interior is just as therapeutic – as the hub of the home presents an open-plan living space with a large kitchen, dining area and lounge in muted tones of cream and beige. Soft textiles and natural materials create the perfect ambience for coming together over good local food and drink. Serve up delicious Italian meals and share aperitifs with olives, wine and cheese after a day of getting to know the local area. Positioned just a ten-minute drive away from the quaint village of Polignano a Mare, immerse yourself in the culture as its lively historical centre and overhanging views of the sea call to be explored. Wander the cute souvenir shops and stop off for some local cuisine in the humble village restaurants before heading further afield to the sandy beaches of Monopoli – just a twenty-minute drive further to the coast.

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.
