A special occasion requires a special location. And nestled within the olive and fruit trees of southern Italy, this traditional home (featuring the authentic trulli) is steeped in the atmospheric charm of its surroundings. From the serene swimming pool and man-made beach to the rustic terrace and calm interiors, this is the perfect setting for an intimate wedding celebration or an idyllic Italian escape. Enjoy leisurely drinks in the shade, stay cool with refreshing dips, spend lazy afternoons with a book under the trees and gather for delicious al fresco meals – served straight from the outdoor kitchen. Your host can also arrange for a private chef to create bespoke dishes – inviting you to sit back and savour the magic of the moment. For explorations further afield, it’s just a short drive to the beautiful towns of Castellana Grotte and Monopoli, while the nearest beach (Poligano a Mare) is just 13km away.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
