Found on over an acre of lush vegetation, this trullo takes full advantage of the garden to add to its beauty, but it’s not the only card it holds. Only a few steps from the front door, you’ll find a private swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers – the perfect setup for enjoying lazy sunshine days in and around the water. A little further on, the pool house offers comfortable seating for afternoon nibbles and wine, but not before an alfresco lunch prepared in the stone barbecue. Take afternoon walks in the garden to better admire the manicured hedges and olive groves or appreciate the landscape from the covered terrace at sunset. When you eventually venture inside, you don’t need to worry about severing your outdoor connection entirely, not when most of the living space comes with floor-to-ceiling windows and door leading out. Even in the bedrooms, you can open the doors to let the fresh air in or sneak out for a bit of late-night stargazing. If you manage to tear yourself away from this private paradise, you can find the coast only minutes away or explore the historic Ugento, Gallipoli or Santa Maria di Leuca.

About Puglia
If you’re looking to slow down the pace of life for a few weeks, there are worse places than Puglia. This is Italy at its most Italian, with year-round good weather (though it can get hot in the summer) and an estimated 60 million olive trees. That’s a lot of groves to wander through. Puglia’s also famous for its Trulli houses. The conical stone roofs of these huts are synonymous...
