This traditional stone trullo surrounded by olive groves makes for a memorable stay. The interior is as charming as you’d expect, with arched ceilings and carved spaces to unwind in. While the kitchenette is on the basic side, there’s also an outdoor kitchen to cook up Italian dishes. The bedroom is minimal and comfortable, though the linens are an add-on here. It’s the outside that really caught our attention – with sprawling gardens and sun loungers to soak up the Mediterranean rays. Though there’s no pool here, the outdoor shower offers a refreshing way to cool off – better still, the waters of Torre Guaceto Beach are around a twenty-minute drive away.

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...
