Set within a beautiful country estate, a stay here offers the peace and tranquillity that so many of us crave from our holidays. Surrounded by olive groves and the charming rural Italian landscape, you’ll feel wrapped up in the beauty of nature from the moment you arrive. This home is simply made for outdoor living – enjoy lazy days swimming in the private pool or lying beside it, stretched out on a lounger soaking up the sun’s glorious rays as the breeze rustles through the palm trees around you. With an array of seating options, alfresco dining is a must – our favourite spot is under the pergola. Inside is full of the charm you’d expect from a countryside Italian home. Sympathetically renovated in recent times, it offers the perfect blend of traditional features with contemporary touches, with three double bedrooms that offer the most blissful night’s sleep. For days out, you can get your sea fix on either the Adriatic or Ionian coast with both around twenty kilometres away. Casarano is the nearest town and well worth a visit – indulge in the local cuisine, wander the narrow streets as you marvel at the architecture, and don’t forget to stop...

Home truths

    Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there's private parking here

    For those with reduced mobility, the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the ground floor

    This home is situated on a 10,000 square metre estate – the outdoor space (garden, olive grove and swimming pool) is shared with two other homes, between them accommodating up to six guests, which can be rented alongside this villa or independently – there's also another villa inside the estate, some distance from this home and completely independent with its own swimming pool

    The swimming pool is only available for use between 1st May and 31st October and isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times

Local guide


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...
