A trip to Monopoli is a promise that your holiday will be nothing short of idyllic, whether you plan to spend most of your days resting at home or savouring the sun on the sandy beaches. And, every part of this rural villa nestled in the greenery of the countryside is designed for endless moments of relaxation. Take an early morning dip in the private salt water pool, pad over to the outdoor kitchen to rustle up a brunch-time meal and settle down in the shaded dining area, surrounded by dry-stone fences and a pretty rose garden, with your pastries and frothy morning cappuccino. Afternoons are for lazing on a poolside lounger with a good book and cosying up on the outdoor seating with friends and glasses of sparkling wine. Stepping inside to escape the midday heat, you'll immediately notice the rich origins and charm of this historical building, with double height ceilings, stone walls and tiled flooring. Warm colours and modern appliances make dining area a great space to relax when you need to cool off. The fully-furnished kitchen will make preparing meals a breeze, but if cooking at home is on the cards, fire up the barbecue one night... for a group dinner on the covered terrace – fitted with an electric cover and adjustable lighting for a romantic setting. We can think of nothing better than balmy Apulian evenings spent out here, sharing plates of food, wine and good stories with your friends and family. When it's time to head out, hop in the car and reach the beautiful regions of Alberobello, Cisternino and Polignano de mare in a matter of minutes. Le Palme Beach Club is also a short drive away when you fancy a day at the beach and a meal out – that's if you can ever peel yourself away from this private sanctuary of solitude and calm.

About Puglia
If you’re looking to slow down the pace of life for a few weeks, there are worse places than Puglia.
