Experience the ultimate Italian beach getaway with a stay at this grand and gorgeous villa. It sits just a short stroll from Lido Beach Hookipa, one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy, renowned across the country for its clear blue waters and soft white sand, as well as its vibrant collection of drinking, dining and music venues that sit along the seafront. It might be hard to drag yourself away from your villa to explore the stunning Italian coastline. The unique design invites the outside in, with arched windows around the entire home. We love the lounge area, ideal for sipping on a cappuccino while you admire the sea views, and the stylish dining table invites you to tuck into tasty pasta dishes together. Outside, you'll find a lovely raised outdoor pool where you can enjoy a refreshing swim, as well as sunloungers where you can kick back and relax, plus an outdoor dining set that's great for sipping on Prosecco at sunset.

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.
