Discover a slice of Italian paradise at this gorgeous Trulli villa, well-equipped for alfresco living. The outside space sets this home apart, with a private pool open seven months a year, a large garden with fig trees and a hammock, and a summer kitchen for cooking up a storm. Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you for a fee, while the main bedroom enjoys its own en-suite. You'll need a car here to get the most out of this stunning location, but it's not far to drive to the nearest beaches and the towns of Monopoli or Conversano for day trips.
