This is Italy in its finest, purest form. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and wild crops, this beautifully restored trullo building is a homage to Puglia’s humble origins. An architectural delight, with its white-stone spires and coned roof, the effect is nothing short of a fairytale home.  The interior benefits from all-stone walls, floors and low archways, with ceramic jugs, woven baskets and antique ornaments that create a boho-chic and calming ambience in every room. The bedrooms are full of hidden treasures too, from a sunken shower-bath carved into rock, shelves suspended by rope, and stone fireplaces features. Outside, take a dip in the pool, lounge on comfy wicker sofas, or head up to the roof terrace for aperitivo on the pallet seats. As day turns to night, this place becomes a pocket of rural charm, with a covered patio area and terrace to dine alfresco long into the evening, while gazing across acres of country fields enhanced by the orange sunset hue. When morning arrives, discover the delights of Alberobello, just a 5-minute drive away – as its name suggests, the town is a picture of Southern Italian beauty.

Get in touch with nature and immerse yourself in the Apulian countryside at this beautiful home. Set in the quiet countryside of the Itria Valley, this home is on private farmland – expect to see horses and cows as you stroll through the gardens. The house is peaceful and rustic, surrounded by oak trees and countryside views. Martina Franca is fifteen minutes away, and you’ll be close to the picturesque village of San Paolo, where you can shop for local ingredients for alfresco meals. There’s a swimming pool in the pretty grounds of this rural escape, perfect for relaxing in the sunshine.

Welcome Hamper

A local team of architects and designers have painstaking brought this traditional Trulli-style home back to life. From the fairytale cone roofs of the old section to the thick white walls of local stone and lime. Now, it’s a relaxing retreat for a small group with a glorious infinity pool at its core. Lined with loungers, this is the perfect place to cool off from the hot southern sun. There’s dining for the whole group out here too, in the full outdoor kitchen. You can admire the silhouettes of ancient olive trees as the sun sets over the countryside.    

Inside, every original detail and modern flourish feels like it has been carefully considered, from hand-picked crockery to candle-filled stone fireplaces. The kitchen is all sleek modernity, and the bedrooms are decked out in boho style with crisp white walls and straw-coloured accents.

You’re in the heart of the blissfully quiet Puglian countryside here, but a twelve-minute drive takes you to the buzzing old town of Ceglie Messapica, where ancient church bells chime on a Sunday and cafés spill out into squares. The UNESCO town of Ostuni is just a twenty-minute drive too – perfect for a day trip.

If peace and quiet are what you look for in a holiday, the slow pace of life at this Italian villa will suit you perfectly. It’s just a three-minute drive from the centre of Ceglie Messapica but feels like the middle of nowhere – it’s surrounded by acres of centuries-old olive groves and fruit trees, and you can even pick your own fruit. You'll definitely need a car to make the most of your stay though. The outside space is dreamy, with an outdoor kitchen and salt-water infinity pool, but the villa is unique. It’s housed in a restored Trullo, so you can live like a local and soak up the region's history.

Rooftop Terrace

Spend a serene stay at this incredible villa in Taviano, a picturesque town based in the province of Lecce and nicknamed the ‘city of flowers’ for its famous flower fields. You’ll love exploring the Old Town, where sugar-cube buildings sit next to Baroque palaces, and you can find delicious restaurants, trendy bars and quaint cafes. You’re also a short drive from the beaches of Gallipoli, home to classy beach bars and crystal-clear waters.

Characterful touches such as beam ceilings, reclaimed driftwood and natural stone brickwork await inside, along with a neutral colour scheme that invokes a real sense of calm. This is all combined with modern amenities that make your stay feel seamless. You’ll be even more wowed by the outside, with a large garden featuring a stunning outdoor pool where you can swim and splash under the hot sun. There are also plenty of places to chill out, all speckled with palm trees to make it feel like you’ve entered true paradise. The sun loungers invite you to relax poolside with a cocktail on hot summer days, while the covered dining terrace provides the ideal place to feast with family and friends. There’s also a dining area on the rooftop terrace that makes for a great sundowner spot. 

Dreamy Driftwood

This stunning home is beautiful in style and ambience. Whitewashed walls, ‘pop of colour’ furniture and elegant Italian tiles create a sophisticated and homely feel. The stonework is simply beautiful – we love the archways and conical ceilings that add so much character to this home. 

Mornings will be well spent with a steaming mug of coffee on your private terrace overlooking your tranquil pool and green gardens. With the Italian sun beating down, don your sun hat and settle down on a lounger with a good book and a refreshing glass of white wine for ultimate relaxation. When you crave a little respite from the heat of the day, sink into your pool and enjoy a fun-filled few hours with loved ones. 

If you can tear yourself away from this home, meander through the quaint streets of the local towns or just a stone's throw further, you will be met with the picturesque coastline. As tiredness sets in, head back to your little piece of paradise. Charming and traditional in equal measure, this Italian home will be the backdrop to a wonderful stay. 

The Cream of the Crop

Self Check-in / Check-out

It's not a trip to Puglia without a stay in a trullo house, and this is a gorgeous one. Located in the rolling countryside, within easy reach of some of the area's historic towns, it's a great place to begin your Italian adventures. 

The traditional stone building has plenty of original touches – you'll love the conical roofs and decorative fireplace that provides a rustic charm. When you get hungry, you can head to the kitchen and cook up your favourite pasta dishes using fresh local ingredients. And, there's no better place to serve up your culinary creations than outside on the patio, as you breathe in the fresh air and admire the lush greenery surrounding you. 

When you fancy a day trip, there are plenty of places to visit in the surrounding area. The magnificent white city of Ostuni is around twenty minutes away by car, where you can stroll through the labyrinthine old quarter. The hilltop town of Martina Franca is around twenty-five minutes away, and if you fancy a day at the beach then you can drive to the coast in just over half an hour.

Between the olive groves of the Puglian countryside, this villa is a lesson in minimalism and sleek design. An inviting private pool is at the centre of the outdoor space and the dining terrace (with a charcoal barbecue) looks out over ancient olive trees. Accommodation is split between the main building, where you’ll find one of the bedrooms and the sparse living area, kept cool by white stone walls. One of the bedrooms is in its own lamia building and a further bedroom is in the annexe with garden access. It’s a short drive to Ostuni for days wandering the ancient streets, and Brindisi is a short hop in the car.

Set less than one hundred metres from Ceglie Messapica's bustling pedestrianised hub and just an easy drive from the coast and Ostuni, the location of this apartment is spot-on. While the period home's vaulted ceilings and exposed stonework are impressive, there are a few compromises to make. Expect a small kitchenette that's better suited to lighter bites rather than large slap-up meals, and there's no outdoor space to speak of. But for a bolthole this characterful, we can forgive that.

Olives & Honey

Access to Beach

Experience a truly unique Puglia stay, courtesy of this charming property nestled in the heart of the region’s tranquil countryside. With three separate apartments and an additional cottage, everyone will be able to enjoy privacy, while at the same time the lovely garden and pool area invite to come together and make beautiful memories. 

We love the traditional Trullo design, so evocative of Puglia – we are also all for the lush garden and glistening swimming pool. Gather outside for delicious communal feasts and drinks, and lounge in the warmth of the Italian sun, a good book in hand. 

The inside of the apartments will welcome you with an embrace – expect stone walls, gorgeous wooden details and ceiling beams. The hosts decorated the place with excellent taste, carefully selecting period furnishings and locally crafted objects to match the general ambience. 

Wake up well-rested in any of the comfy bedrooms and get ready to explore – stay close to home and go cycling and hiking, or take the short drive to the coast where colourful villages await. 

Trulli Puglia 

If you’re seeking a picturesque home in central Monopoli, this second-floor apartment is just the ticket. There’s no parking here, but this city on the Adriatic Sea is easily explored on foot. Speaking of, you’ll find the Baroque Monopoli Cathedral, the 16th-century Castle of Carlo V, and the frescoed Palmieri Palace within walking distance. Located within a period building, you’ll find plenty of original features here. Though you’ll need to climb the stairs up, you'll love spending evenings on the rooftop terrace relaxing with wine and grilling up dinners. 


From Monopoli, With Love

Offering the ultimate Puglian escape, spend your days dining under vine-wrapped pergolas, sipping Nero d’Avola on the shady terraces and picking homegrown produce in the fruit and vegetable garden. The bold architecture of this villa will catch your eye immediately, and with three trulli and a lamia stone house, there’s plenty of space for your cohort. The interior style is minimal and inviting, while the outside is equally blissful – the pool is pretty picturesque against its natural garden backdrop. Better still, this location is a perfect starting point for exploring Valle d’Itria’s hilltop villages, including Ostuni, Cisternino and Martina Franca.

Valley of the Olive Trees

Dryer

Whitewashed, historic and serene, this traditional Trullo provides the ideal setting for an immersive Italian escape. Nestled among the trees of the Itria Valley, you’ll find the rooms are spread across two independent buildings – making this a great option for groups looking to stretch out and enjoy quality time together. Mid-stay housekeeping is included and your host can arrange grocery deliveries for an additional fee. From here, days can be spent lounging by the private pool or out exploring this beautiful region. You will need a car to get around, but it’s just a ten-minute drive to Cisternino, while the nearest beaches are thirty minutes away. 

Tales from the Trullo

Set in colourful gardens, edged with mellow stone walls, this trullo is a wonderful place to relax. There's a swimming pool, a barbecue for tasty lunches and a shaded dining area. Inside, there's character aplenty, including exposed stone arches and an open fire. We love that both bedrooms open out onto the terrace, so there shouldn't be any quarrels about who has which room (though one has the advantage, it has an en-suite – maybe keep that quiet). When you're ready to explore what the local area offers, head to Ostuni, just 5 kilometres away. Your host also offers a complimentary guided tour of Alberobello (though it's quite a ride from this home).

The Ode to Sunsets 

Private Dryer

Heated Pool

In the land of ancient olive groves, traditional Truli and whitewashed hilltop towns, this beautiful home sits in perfect harmony with its environment. 

Just a short drive from the centre of Ostuni (4km away) as well as the beaches of the Puglian coast, you’ll find yourself quickly transported to the warmth and beauty of Italian living. And with an abundance of living space alongside seven bedrooms (each with its own bathroom), this is the perfect setting for an intimate celebration or a restorative retreat – one that’s filled with style, elegance and rustic charm. 

Wake up early and enjoy mesmerising views across the Itria valley from the balcony, take a dip in the pool, spend lazy afternoons on a sun lounger and gather for golden hour drinks on the terrace. Your host can also arrange a private chef to prepare a delicious Italian-inspired feast – inviting you to sit back and soak up the beauty of this unique location. 

For explorations beyond this peaceful sanctuary, days can be spent strolling the ancient narrow streets of Ostuni and Cisternino, or exploring the beaches nestled along the coast – just a twenty-minute drive away. 

Natural Peace 

Surrounded by stunning Apulian countryside, yet just twenty minutes by car from the centre of Monopoli – this quintessential Mediterranean villa offers guests a private slice of serenity from the moment they open the front gate. Upon entering the home, you'll be welcomed by the soothing earthy tones of the home's original features, including tiled stone floors throughout and whitewashed exposed brickwork in the living area. Antique dark wooden furniture and terracotta ornaments complement the character and complete the home's Mediterranean aesthetic with infinite elegance. Leading out to the garden, French doors pave the way to a small terrace featuring day beds by the pool and a shaded chill-out area, which serves as the perfect spot for your morning coffee. Another large pergola offers a second living area, bringing the indoors outside – with a plush corner sofa, outdoor kitchen and dining table that remain shaded from the sun. This luscious corner of the home is a hidden gem that allows guests to relax as they would inside without compromising on losing garden views overlooking the countryside with olive and fruit trees growing all around. 


Tiles & Terracotta

Nestled in the picturesque Valle d'Itria, this historic home is a real gem. It's surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and offers views of nearby Ostuni, only a five-minute drive away. On a summer's day, there's no better spot to unwind than beside the private pool. Afterwards, tuck into an alfresco dinner on the terrace – your host can arrange cooking lessons and chefs for a fee. We're big fans of the traditional features inside – think exposed stone and arched doorways – yet with a collection of en-suite bedrooms, everyone will have plenty of space and privacy. 

Cashmere & Stone

Hidden amongst olive trees, this villa is a great base for a Puglia adventure. The outdoor spaces stand out here – the private pool is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, while the alfresco dining area and outdoor kitchen mean you'll rarely need to venture inside. The interior is pleasant, though it lacks natural light in places. And while we loved the exposed brickwork in the living area, one of the beds is here – this might prove inconvenient and makes the home more suitable for families in our eyes. Location-wise, you're well served, because not only is the coast not far away, the charming city of Ostuni is just a 3km drive.

Mystic Gardens

Bicycles

Just a short drive from the whitewashed city of Ostuni, this home provides a calm sanctuary nestled among olive trees. Featuring a peaceful garden, a private pool and crisp rooms, you’ll find everything you could need for a restorative retreat. Housekeeping is included in your stay, plus guests can enjoy a concierge service with lovely extras like a private chef and cooking lessons. You will need a car to get around here, but the nearest beach is just 4 kilometres away. 

Love & Roses

Tucked between the countryside and the stunning Puglian coast, this home offers the best of both worlds. Set off by car and explore the UNESCO-listed Valle d'Itria, or dive East towards Monopoli and Polignano a Mare for a day by the sea. During downtime, make yourself comfortable back home. Keen cooks will have three kitchens at their disposal here, including one outdoors ideal for barbecues. The swimming pool (which can be heated for a fee) will entice you for an afternoon dip, while the covered terrace makes a sweet spot for sundowners. With four en-suite bedrooms, including a sprawling main suite on the top floor, we think it's the perfect family pad. 

Puglian Promise

Garden / Courtyard

Beneath vaulted ceilings and stone archways, every inch of this Italian villa feels like a sacred sanctuary. About two thousand years ago, these olive trees were planted – and this palatial home now honours them. Just a short drive away from the white-washed city of Ostuni, the design here follows local tradition, but the elegant interior elevates it completely.

Drive up to a gated entrance – see the trim lawn and romantic cobblestones – and feel a sense of grace and grandeur as soon as you arrive. Underground, you'll find the old mill – a preserved place that is perfect for dinner parties and wine tastings. Above, there's a relaxing massage room and a peaceful living space where you can unwind.

Behind wooden shutters, every bedroom boasts outdoor access – plus, refreshing rain showers in the en-suite bathrooms. If you don't fancy heading out to nearby Costa Merlata, take a dip in your private salt pool instead. Before a barbecue lunch, why not sip Nespresso coffee under the pergola?

Consider hiring a private chef, so all you need to do is gather your loved ones around the dining table. On your doorstep, you'll discover a surf school, tennis courts, and horse-riding lessons. Even better, you can have it all arranged for you through the booking services available.

Where Love Is King

This charming holiday home is a relaxing spot ideal for families. It’s just 6 kilometres from Ostuni, which makes for a wonderful day out. You might find that you’re content to stay home, though, once you spot the private pool, the view of olive trees, and the alfresco dining area – there’s a stone table and a barbecue in the shade of a vine-covered pergola. Inside, you can look forward to the traditional architecture of a trullo, built from local stone. 

Rosemary & Oil

This stone house is a charming base for six in Monopoli. It’s close to the seafront, and boasts wonderful views of the sea and the historic city centre from the terrace. We love the alfresco dining area in the shade of the pergola, too – you’ll likely spend most of your time here outside. Inside, there are lots of stairs to navigate so it’s not a suitable choice for those with children under six. There are cosy corners for moments of relaxation, and quirky details that add charm. 

Azure Affair

Balcony / Patio

Welcome to the d'Itria Valley, famous for its trulli buildings – dry stone huts with conical roofs, once used by farm workers. For a stay in an extraordinary home, this trulli complex is an astonishing piece of rural architecture, renovated in a way that respects the original stone design while providing some modern comforts. As romantic as it gets, it's surrounded by its own vineyards, olive groves and cherry trees (the fruit of which you’re free to pick in the summer). Spend your days idling by the private pool, strolling through the grapevines and exploring the Apulian countryside. It may not be part of the trulli UNESCO World Heritage Site at Alberobello, but it's cut from the same cloth and just a fifteen-minute drive away.

Trulli Unique

Mini Bar

This villa is comprised of a series of restored trulli, the quirky conical-roofed structures only found in this part of southern Italy. While there’s limited living space inside, the outside space is ideal for gathering together, whether you’re enjoying the results of a cooking class or swimming in the private heated pool. You’ll find this home in the Puglian countryside just outside of the UNESCO-listed town of Alberobello, which is a wonderful place to explore. Your host can arrange a number of additional services, and you can even opt to have staff on-site during your stay – what a way to relax. 

The Antiquarian's Repose

This cluster of Trulli homes is like a fairytale illustration come to life. Each bone-white stone structure is home to a separate bedroom, kitchen and living room, with the outside space connecting them all together. Inside, comfy beds are nestled in archways and circular rooms have bare stone walls for an authentic feel. There’s no shortage of mod-cons though, with flatscreen TVs and desks for remote working if you need.

Really, though, this place was made for outdoor living, making the most of the sunny climes of Italy’s heel. There’s a full outdoor kitchen with a traditional stone bread oven, and myriad places to dine in the sun or shade – the choice is yours. Seats in the shade of ancient olive trees provide a moment’s respite. But the piece de resistance has to be the covered hot tub, surrounded by sun loungers to dry off after.

The location is a boon too, just outside the centre of one of Puglia’s prettiest towns – Locorotondo. A cluster of white medieval churches makes up the historic hilltop centre, where winding cobbled streets are filled with family-run trattoria and slow-food eateries. The UNESCO town of Ostuni is also within day-trip distance if you have a car. 

Bone-White Stone

Jacuzzi

A ten-minute drive from Ostuni, this villa offers a dreamy escape in Puglia. The garden was designed to take advantage of the sunshine. You can work out in the outdoor gym, cool off with a dip in the pool, or tuck into an Italian feast on the terrace. Inside, the ivory hues and natural accents fit in perfectly with Puglia's white-washed towns. Our favourite space is the main bedroom, where a relaxing soak in the Jacuzzi bath is the perfect way to end the day. Just note that two bedrooms don't have air conditioning.
