No doubt about it, this idyllic Itria Valley home is pure Puglian perfection. Comprising carefully restored Trulli – traditional dry-stone structures with a conical roof – along with contemporary architectural additions, this authentic home oozes character and charm as well as sophistication and style. Featuring an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space – think whitewashed walls, awesome archways and cool tiled floors – as well as two beautifully serene bedrooms, this heavenly home is perfect for a couple of couples or family group seeking some good old-fashioned R & R. Occupying a tucked-away and tranquil spot and surrounded by gorgeous greenery, this wonderfully white home boasts spaces fit for socialising as well as seclusion. Laze on loungers in the sun or luxuriate in your private, outdoor pool. Prepare family favourites on the white worktops in the kitchen before dining alfresco on the poolside terrace. Treat yourself to an afternoon snooze or seek the calm of the colourful courtyard. Find a quiet place to sit and read a book on the banquette seating in the sitting room or relax with a glass of local wine on the sofa. Round off a romantic day with time spent in the master bedroom’s free-standing tub. If... you fancy a little light exploration, you’ll find you’re a ten-minute drive away from both the Valley towns of Locorotondo and Cisternino. Set off on scenic walks or cycle routes or venture a little further and discover iconic Ostuni – also known as ‘The White City’ – famous for its 15th-century Gothic cathedral.
