A taste of Apulia at its best, this modern home is set among olive groves in a rural spot a few minutes' by car from San Vito dei Normanni and the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve. A short drive from the nearby beaches and not far from Brindisi, it's a great spot for exploring everything this region has to offer. Perfect for a family or a small group of friends, this place isn't short on outdoor space. A vast garden, partly lawned, is yours to make the most of during your stay – and naturally, it includes a stunning private pool with loungers. With plenty of doors opening directly out, the home is a shining example of indoor-outdoor living, with a large shaded terrace to one side – complete with a dining table and sofas – and another seating spot to the other. But it's the contemporary design that sets this place apart. All-white walls and clean lines make for a minimalist space, with concrete floors and black-framed windows. The open layout keeps it sociable while someone's cooking in the sleek kitchen and there's a choice between eating inside at the glass table, out on the terrace or in another partly open... space – where you'll find the barbecue.

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...
