Staying in a villa like this will be a memorable way to experience Puglia’s Cerfignano. There’s something for everyone to fall in love with here – from the citrus trees in the garden, where you can enjoy shaded moments, to the comfortable and modern interior, where you can unwind with your book, and the pristine pool, where you can cool off when the midday sun reaches its peak. Though the outdoor space invites you to spend leisurely days soaking up the sun from the terrace and sipping Limoncello at dusk, the inside is a charming space to spend quality time with your loved ones. Try your hand at preparing a local dish of orecchiette with broccoli rabe to share at the family-style wooden table, then sink into the Wassily chair for a glass of Sangiovese. You're in a great location when you want to explore further afield. It’s a short drive to Salento, where you can soak up the history and culture, or stay closer to home in Santa Cesarea Terme, where you can soak up the sun and swim through the caves.
