This traditional stone studio apartment, in the centre of the whitewashed town of Ostuni, might just provide the ultimate Puglian stay. This calm and compact home masterfully marries traditional and contemporary aesthetics, blending original features – think arched ceilings and stone walls – with plush minimalist furnishings and a crisp white palette. While the design of the living space is both tranquil and understated, this makes way for the most important element of this home – stone. Natural, and elegant, the artisan masonry is fully exposed for you to admire. Slip into a holiday state of mind by starting the day with a moka pot coffee at the wooden breakfast bar before heading out to explore Ostuni's cobbled, maze-like streets. We recommend the nine-minute walk up to the Concattedrale di Ostuni which blends Gothic, Baroque and Byzantine elements before settling in for lunch at one of the many charming local trattorias. After a day exploring the pearl of the Itria Valley, make your way home and sink into your soft sheets for a blissful night's sleep. Ideally situated in the picturesque town, you are only a fifteen-minute drive to the Adriatic coast. Spend the day on the sands of Spiaggia di Lamaforca, soaking up the rays and cooling off in the crystal waters.

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. Puglia’s also famous for its Trulli houses. The conical stone roofs of these huts are synonymous...
