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.

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...
