Bright and minimalist, this single-level villa can be found on the outskirts of a small town renowned for its wine culture in the heart of Apulia. Drive to Noci in minutes to explore the winding lanes and quaint cafes or pick out your favourite vintage. Though the house is cosy, the outdoor space is what really drew us here. The partially enclosed porch and outdoor dining table are only just outshined by the private swimming pool. There's also a nook with a stone barbecue. It's ideal for families or friends wanting to explore the Italian countryside.

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.

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.

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.

Wandering through cobbled alleyways, across the small piazzas and past quirky antique shops, you'll know you've just discovered one of Italy's hidden gems. This villa can be found in a quiet village, between the Gagliano de Capo countryside and the historic old town, and could not be more perfectly placed for soaking up the very best of Italy. 

The exterior is a quintessential country farmhouse, with picture-perfect window shutters and a stone patio that beckons you to take a seat and crack open a bottle of red wine. While away the hours with good weather and good company. 

Inside, there's rustic charm in abundance, plus all of the creature comforts that'll make you feel right at home. The garden, however, is where you'll likely spend most of your time, with a private swimming pool and enclosed garden that's perfect for soaking up all of that Meditteranean sunshine on a warm afternoon. Peruse the extensive library of books that are housed in the bedroom, then get comfortable in one of the sun loungers for a relaxing afternoon.

If you're an adventure-seeker, you might spend a day snorkelling or scuba diving in the crystal clear waters of Ponte del Ciolo, or hiking along the Regional Natural Coastal Park. Whether you're exploring majestic cathedrals or rugged coastlines, a serene evening awaits when you return to the peace of your private garden.

Welcome Hamper

For those that want to get in touch with nature, this rebuilt farmer’s shack in the Puglian countryside is the perfect getaway.  Though you’re still just a five-minute drive from the supermarkets, restaurants and winding old streets of San Michele Salentino, and the UNESCO trulli houses of Ostuni are a twenty-minute drive (perfect for a day trip).

It’s all about escaping the everyday and embracing the landscape here. Surrounded by acres of olive groves and fruit orchards, you’ve got a natural larder to play with – perfect for cooking alfresco in the outdoor kitchen. The entire living space is designed to be outdoors, with the lounge sofas sets around a fire pit and the full kitchen shaded by bamboo and looking out into the olive grove. There’s a swimming pool for cooling off, a hammock strung beneath a century-old olive tree and an outdoor shower tucked away too.

The only thing you’ll find inside is the bedroom and bathroom. It’s a world of sleek concrete in here, with a desk should you fancy a spot of writing (there’s no Wifi, it’s time to take it easy). There’s a small sofa should the weather take a turn, and it’s set by the picture-frame window so you can still enjoy a glimpse of the rust-red land. But this place is designed for living outdoors, under the warmth of the southern Italian sun.

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.

Nestled among olive trees, this historic farmhouse has been thoughtfully restored into an immersive Italian escape. Consisting of a main house, a traditional Trullo and renovated stable rooms, you’ll be welcomed by a wonderful sense of character along with plenty of space to relax and enjoy this beautiful location. Highlights include the natural swimming pool, the private hot tub and a range of extra services – including wellness treatments and private chefs. Housekeeping is included in your stay, children’s amenities can be provided, plus it’s just a short drive to the centre of Ceglie Messapica – just five minutes away. 

Days of Beauty

Bathrobes

Wine Cooler

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.

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

Access to Beach

Set just outside the historic centre of Polignano a Mare, this home offers plenty of space for four people to spread out and enjoy some quiet time. There’s no TV, but with many amenities on your doorstep, two sun-kissed terraces, sea views and the Mediterranean climate to enjoy, we think you’ll be too busy to notice. Locally, you’ll find restaurants, ice cream shops and boutiques within walking distance, while popular destinations such as Monopoli and Castellana Grotte are a short drive away.

Outdoor Kitchen

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

Step inside this typical Apulian villa constructed from local stone from Puglia.  The cool, airy interior provides a welcome escape from midday temperatures, while artisanal touches make the accommodation feel cosy and comfortable.

In the afternoons, the chic patio area is the perfect place to savour a chilled glass of fizz or you might prefer to bask by the edge of your very own sparkling private pool. Additional outdoor attractions include a barbecue and pizza oven. Your host offers a variety of activities to choose from. There's the opportunity to have dinner cooked by your very own private chef or you might like to sample local wines from the region at a wine-tasting session.

Make sure to visit the awe-inspiring Castellana Caves - a vast underground system of Karst caves renowned for their alluring hues. The caves are a 40-minute walk from the property. Golfers are catered for too with the San Domenico Golf club, just over 17km away by car.



Casa Caves

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.

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 

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.

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.

Pomegranate Wishes

Balcony / Patio

Pool House

An excellent choice for an authentic Puglian escape, this home ticks a lot of boxes. It’s spread between a traditional trullo – built in local stone – and a separate building for two, which is ideal for a couple seeking a bit more privacy. There’s plenty of space outside for everyone to spend time together, with a private infinity pool, garden, and a gazebo that houses an outdoor kitchen. We love the rooftop terrace and its sweeping views of the surrounding olive groves. 

Borgo Bliss

Sitting on the west coast of Italy's heel, this authentic home rests in the heart of a sleepy, historical town. Gallipoli is an oasis of calm, a relaxed vibe emanating from the colourful streets and dreamy piazzas. Wander through the harbour and feel any worries melt away underneath the gentle warmth of the sun. 

Despite its welcoming atmosphere and charming energy, Gallipoli has remained under the tourism radar. Even in the height of summer, the streets maintain an unashamedly Italian feel, perfect for immersing yourself into the culture. 

Spend a carefree afternoon at the glistening beach or venture inland to sample the various food options. Pasta, pizza and seafood comprise the menus, topped off by some creamy gelato and tiramisu.

If you'd prefer a restful night in, your tranquil abode is an idyllic setting. Lounge on the sofas with a film, host dinner on the twelve-seater table or retire to the privacy of your balcony. When sun sets on the warm tones and radiant buildings, the balcony is the perfect place to bask in the serenity.

If you're looking to take the path less trodden, the Cilento coastline is a seriously underrated gem. Overlooking the Gulf of Policastro, surrounded by stretches of white sand, fishing villages and archaeological wonders, this charming apartment is in a prime location for unearthing some of Italy's best-kept secrets.

In the heart of the Cilento National Park, this is a hiker's paradise – take a day to explore the magnificent natural landscape, with paths that reach the peaks of Monte Stella and Monte Sacro Gelbison. Alternatively, if you fancy something more relaxing, take a short walk to the beach to lie on a sun lounger and let the waves lap at your feet. 

However you choose to spend your time, this home provides a peaceful place to rest and recharge. The shared pool is ideal for cooling off after a few hours in the Mediterranean heat, or simply kicking back with a good book. Pick up some local delicacies and tuck in on the private terrace as the sun sets over the coast, or head to the lounge bar for a few drinks and panoramic views of the ocean – a truly romantic spot if you're looking to spend some quality time together. 

Secret Shores

Sitting peacefully amid centuries-old olive trees, this home opens its doors to a rustic Italian escape. Outside, can enjoy the beautiful views while relaxing in the Jacuzzi or swimming in the pool. There is also a shaded terrace with a barbecue – perfect for balmy evening meals. It’s worth noting the rooms are spread across the main house and an adjoining annexe, but this is a great option for families and groups in search of simplicity and ease. Plus, it’s just a ten-minute drive to Monopoli and the nearest beaches. 

Stillness at Sunset

This charming villa is made up of a trullo and a lamia made from local stone – staying here, you get a taste of authentic southern Italian living. It’s just 4 kilometres from the town centre of Castellana Grotte, and 15 kilometres from iconic Alberobello. It’s in a great position for exploring Puglia, though we’d recommend bringing a car to do so. The home is traditional and inviting. We love the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, which can be enjoyed from the terrace. Outside, you’ll find a private pool in addition to a fantastic alfresco dining area – there’s a pizza oven and barbecue to cook on. 

Mediterranean Solstice

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 

Welcome to this cosy retreat, surrounded by age-old olive trees. Time seems to have stopped here – the traditional exterior and interiors hark back to a bygone era, and we love the open fireplace. Sure, like most older homes, this place has its quirks. But you do have mod cons like a beautiful swimming pool, an outdoor stereo system, barbecue and kitchen area. The garden is a paradise – our favourite spot has to be the vine-covered gazebo. If you can tear yourself away, explore the nearby Castellana Grotte or head to the coast.

Nestled in the heart of the Puglian countryside, this gorgeous villa is as magical as it gets. We love the organic feel of the interior here – think vaulted brick ceilings, rustic floor tiles, and handmade wooden furniture – but it’s the outside space that really stands out, boasting lush private gardens, shaded verandas, and a private rooftop pool. Dip your toes in and gaze out at your beautiful surroundings or stretch out on one of the poolside sun loungers and listen to the sound of trees swaying in the wind as you work on your golden tan. 

Whether you’re travelling with friends or family, this home has got you covered. Keep little ones entertained in the private playground or gather everyone around the outdoor dining table for a light lunch made with fresh ingredients from the herb garden.  Designed for group holidays, there’s plenty of space for socialising here but if you’re craving some 'me time', you won’t have to go far to find a private corner to relax in. Settle into your favourite spot in the garden or wander over to the trullo for a fresh cup of coffee and some well-earned peace and quiet.

Sitting in a serene spot surrounded by olive trees, cacti and citrus, this authentic Italian Trullo is ideal for those looking for a holiday with a difference. It's based in the idyllic Italian countryside, just a short drive from Ostuni, and is ideal for those looking for a laidback break. Inside, exposed stonework, majestic archways and beam ceilings create a home that feels truly unique – while the outside turns up the luxury, with a stunning private pool, sun loungers and a covered dining terrace for alfresco feasts. Here, the house's hens lay eggs for your morning breakfasts, while freshly-cooked pizzas sizzle away in the outdoor kitchen.

Palazzo Dream

Perched on the outskirts of Matera, this apartment is just the right amount of stylish and charming. Its highlight is undoubtedly the solarium, with space for alfresco dining and sunbathing. The en-suite bathtub is sunken into the ground, offering spectacular views through the French doors. There's space to park for free on the street, but the city centre is so close that you won't necessarily need a car to get the most out of your stay here. You'll have easy access to Matera's fantastic restaurants and truly unique architecture, with buildings built into the natural caves of the Murgia.

Serene Abode

This villa is in the sun-blessed and secluded Puglian countryside, nestled between the UNESCO town of Ostuni and the sea. Traditional, local style blends with modern elegance inside, creating a laid-back vibe – those vaulted ceilings are a dream. But it’s the social outdoor spaces that steal the show with spots for cooking, eating, and lounging alfresco. Shaded nooks hide comfy lounges, while a crystalline swimming pool looks out over acres of olive groves. It feels like you’re the only people in the world here – although, with the option for cooking and cleaning services, you'll still be well looked after by your hosts.

Rest and relaxation are key at this beautiful Puglian home. It’s spread between the main house and a one-bedroom annex, so is ideal for a big family group, or friends travelling together. Inside, you’ll find tranquil spaces decked out in local stone, while outside is all about the surroundings – this home is situated amid six hectares of parkland, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and Mediterranean gardens. If you’re anything like us, you’ll spend most of your time in the heated salt-water pool or dining alfresco. Your host can arrange yoga classes and massages on the pavilion, in addition to gourmet dinners – it’s practically impossible to feel stressed here.
