When it comes to olives, Italy is up there as one of the countries that love them most – and this home is a testament to that. Like a white beacon being clenched in a warm embrace by fields of lush green olive trees, this home offers a traditional Italian countryside experience for the family to enjoy in a scenic part of Puglia. Being situated a ten-minute drive from Carovigno – a famous town for olive oil production – it's no surprise olive trees are an important part of this home's charm. But there's a lot more to admire about this wonderful villa. On the inside, you'll be hit with a mix of modern decorations and rustic charm, while on the outside, you'll feel like you're in a secluded countryside paradise. Spend afternoons splashing around the pool followed by challenging the family to a volleyball tournament on the garden court. When the kids show you up, it'll be time to retire to the sun loungers to sip on Aperol Spritz before enjoying a nap on the hammock tied between the – you guessed it – olive trees! This home will be a centre of relaxation during your trip, and a... brilliant opportunity for family bonding. Hiring a car is a good idea here as there's a lot to explore in the local area. Alongside wandering around Carovigno and exploring its ancient buildings, you'll also be a ten-minute drive from Ostuni, a town known as 'The White City' for its picturesque white-washed buildings in the Old Town. The family will love immersing themselves in authentic Italian culture here. But when a beach day out is calling, you'll be glad to know this area of Puglia is home to many small, beautiful sandy stretches. Torre Pozzella is a local favourite and it's only a twelve-minute drive from the villa.

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.
