Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you have an amenity in mind, this home probably has it. Whether it's in the charming indoors or the idyllic outside space, this home is brimming with high-end facilities. We'll start in the wonderfully unique interior, a quaint space that's shaped by hidden coves and crevices. Cute beds are tucked under stone archways and cosy cushioned seats are dotted between the exposed brick walls. It's an indoor space like no other. Wander outside and the flurry of amenities slowly begin to reveal themselves. Find a BBQ and pizza oven to satisfy any foodies looking for authentic, home-cooked food. Complement each bite with a glass of Barolo wine on the green sofas under the pergola. A wooden dining table rests under another pergola for a more formal dining experience. Or you can forget about food altogether and immerse yourself in the home's activities. Spend lazy mornings and sunny afternoons in the paradisal pool, kissed by the sun and refreshed by the lush greenery. If you prefer a more lively day, practice your skills on the mini football pitch. When the whole group wants to get involved, move over to the outside court for wholesome games of badminton or volleyball.

Local guide
About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
