Held up by Hellenistic columns, this palatial villa prioritises peacefulness in the Taranto province. Just over three kilometres from the wine-making town of Sava, sampling the atmospheric bars and restaurants couldn't be easier when you roam these church-dotted streets. If sunny walks through the countryside aren't your style, how about driving out to the Ionian coast and spending a day at Campomarino di Maruggio beach instead? There's no denying that the neoclassical design of this home delivers a strong impression, but what makes it even better is the fragrant park that surrounds it, inviting you to enjoy the great outdoors at every hour. Sunbathe with your loved ones as the aroma of rosemary, thyme, and strawberry trees fill the air. Right by the lilypond, we think you'll want to take a dip in this rock-carved swimming pool. From pleasant bookcases to practical work desks, this place has considered it all. After researching Apulian recipes, come into your plush kitchen and whip up a feast to remember.

About Taranto
