Sample all of Apulia's best bits from this villa set just a few minutes' drive from Ostuni's historic centre and not far from the beaches of the Adriatic coast. A great option for a family holiday, the open-plan living area overlooks the private infinity pool – perfect for keeping an eye on children playing. If we were being picky, the kitchen area inside feels a touch small compared to the rest of the villa. However, the outdoor pizza oven and barbecue beneath a covered pergola for alfresco dining make up for that. *Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s ample private parking outside the villa. *Although there’s plenty of drawer storage, hanging rail space is limited in the bedrooms. *The ceiling in one of the bedrooms is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests. Air Conditioning Barbeque Child Friendly Coffee Maker Dishwasher<...
It's not a trip to Puglia without a stay in a trullo house, and this is a gorgeous one. Located in the rolling countryside, within easy reach of some of the area's historic towns, it's a great place to begin your Italian adventures. The traditional stone building has plenty of original touches – you'll love the conical roofs and decorative fireplace that provides a rustic charm. When you get hungry, you can head to the kitchen and cook up your favourite pasta dishes using fresh local ingredients. And, there's no better place to serve up your culinary creations than outside on the patio, as you breathe in the fresh air and admire the lush greenery surrounding you. When you fancy a day trip, there are plenty of places to visit in the surrounding area. The magnificent white city of Ostuni is around twenty minutes away by car, where you can stroll through the labyrinthine old quarter. The hilltop town of Martina Franca is ar...
Escape to this home in the picturesque countryside of Ostuni. There’s a private patio to relax on or take advantage of the large shared garden and swimming pool here, surrounded by olive groves. Inside, the compact open-plan living room also sleeps guests three and four on a sofa bed. Out and about, the nearby whitewashed town of Ostuni is a great place to spend a day exploring. Or make a beeline for one of the area’s sandy beaches, which offer crystal-clear waters. *At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. *This home is on a complex with other dwellings. There's a private patio space, while the pool and gardens are shared. *The images on the listing include a variety of villas on the development and their adjoining outdoor dining spaces.

Tucked among ancient olive trees near Ostuni, this villa is a masterclass in slow living. Designed by an architect and interior designer, it blends traditional trulli charm with natural materials — think beds carved into arched stone alcoves, woven textiles, and smooth concrete floors made for barefoot wandering. Outside, there’s an infinity pool, spots for lounging in the sun and shade, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen ideal for long lunches and summer suppers. Though just a short drive from the Adriatic and 35 minutes from Brindisi Airport, it feels blissfully off-grid — a true escape. *Two of the bedrooms are interconnected and share a bathroom – ideal for families or close friends. The third bedroom has a separate entrance and its own ensuite for added privacy. *The living space and indoor kitchen are separate from the bedrooms, so you'll need to step outside for midnight snacks. *Due to this home's location, we recom...
Fancy stopping in central Ostuni? Boasting 16th-century charm, there's an on-site chapel, courtyard, and indoor pool to share in this building. Given the lack of privacy in the shared bedroom, this ground-floor apartment may be best suited to a young family of three, but it's a great base for sightseers with busy schedules. While the historic sights of the city might keep you close to home, the Adriatic coast is only 8 kilometres away if you feel like a beach day. *This ground-floor home is accessed through the external courtyard and down some stairs. *The bedroom contains a double bed and a single bed, so privacy is minimal. It does feel a little cramped, so we'd pack light. *Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout, and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same. *You'll have access to communal spaces here, including an on-site chapel, court...
A twenty-minute drive from Puglia’s Adriatic beaches, this villa embraces the region’s traditional architecture. Perched up on a terraced hill, a patchwork of olive groves, rust-red earth and fields stretches before you as the Adriatic shimmers in the sunshine. The outdoor space is a dream, with a tennis court hanging off the hillside, a bocce bowling green and a huge swimming pool for a cooling dip. There are various outdoor lounges and dining areas for meals and drinks in the sun, and a full outdoor kitchen so every step of the meal prep can be done alfresco. Bedrooms are spread across four Trulli houses –stone dwellings with pointed roofs like witches’ hats. The indoor social space is designed like your own personal taverna, in a separate building. There’s a bar, full kitchen, comfy sofas around a fireplace and even a piano for a sing-song of an evening. About fifty metres from the garden there’s a 15th-century church that yo...
Hidden amongst olive trees, this villa is a great base for a Puglia adventure. The outdoor spaces stand out here – the private pool is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, while the alfresco dining area and outdoor kitchen mean you'll rarely need to venture inside. The interior is pleasant, though it lacks natural light in places. And while we loved the exposed brickwork in the living area, one of the beds is here – this might prove inconvenient and makes the home more suitable for families in our eyes. Location-wise, you're well served, because not only is the coast not far away, the charming city of Ostuni is just a 3km drive. *We recommend having a car to make the most of your stay exploring the nearby towns in the area. *There's free parking on site. *The home is split into a traditional house and an annexe with an en-suite bedroom (can be configured as a twin). *The host can provide a baby cot and a high chair, at an extra c...
Puglia’s dramatic coastal rock formations and turquoise waters make this region feel somewhat otherworldly. And when you bring the unique, conical ‘trullo’ houses of Alberobello into the mix, life here could truly be on another planet. Just a thirty-five-minute drive from this village, further examples of intriguing architecture continue south into the heel of Italy’s boot – your very own home included. Just an eight-minute drive from the bustling town centre of Ostuni, this villa is less isolated than it seems. Its countryside setting is a picture-perfect scene of olive trees and native foliage, with a striking structure in the middle. The white, slatted awning of your shaded terrace juts out to the private pool, lined by a honey-coloured drystone wall and a Buddhist statue (ensuring that extra sense of zen). From this angle, the home looks superbly modern and angular. But from the side, you'll see the trullo at its heart...
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. *Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there's parking here *At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area *We think the kitchen is better suited to lighter bites than large meals ...
Sitting in a particularly picturesque part of the Puglian countryside, this white home can boast of a pair of Trullo roofs that are so distinctive of this region, as well as lots of amenities for a truly relaxing stay. The swimming pool in the middle of the bucolic grounds will be appreciated when the temperature sits in the twenties and beyond, while there's also a terrace on which to lounge and dine – perhaps with something straight off the barbecue in front of you. When it comes to the living quarters, you'll find a characterful mix of the traditional and contemporary, with stone flooring and archways brightened up by bright white walls and subtle lighting. There'll be no complaints with the smart kitchen and bathrooms, nor the airy bedrooms. In the surrounding Latiano countryside, there's an innate peacefulness, plus a fair few attractions in the shape of the pretty rural town of San Michele Salentino just under...
`It's impossible not to fall in love with this gorgeous home, set in the beautiful Italian countryside. And, with a self-contained suite within the villa, it's a great choice for groups who want a little extra privacy. Step inside, and you'll find a light and airy living space where you can kick back and relax. It's the perfect place to hide from the afternoon heat, but we think you'll want to spend most of your time outside in the picture-perfect grounds. Find a shady spot to relax with a good book, or stretch out on a lounger under the clear blue sky. You can then take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, before gathering your guests on the patio to enjoy an alfresco meal freshly cooked on the barbeque. It would be easy to spend your whole trip in this little patch of heaven, but should you want to explore the surrounding area then there's plenty to see and do. If you're hearing the call of the ocean, then head to To...
Found a short drive from the whitewashed town of Ostuni, this villa is all charm and beautiful views. Though the stone interior of the home is unique, the style here might not appeal to everyone. Still, it's cosy and roomy – even with three people each in two of the bedrooms. If you do happen to need a little extra breathing room, you can happily stroll out to explore the sprawling garden. With seating from everything from alfresco dining to morning coffee with a book, it's topped off by the swimming pool, hot tub and stone barbecue. This is a perfect spot for a family wanting to explore a more peaceful Italian break. *While all the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. *There’s free parking here. *Pets are welcome for a small fee, upon the host's approval. *The swimming pool – available for use between the end of April and the beginning of October – isn't ...
Experience authentic southern Italian charm by staying in this trullo, a conical-roofed structure typical of this part of Italy. Here, you get the best of both rural and coastal living – you’ll be staying in the countryside outside of Carovigno, a short drive from the beaches on the Adriatic Coast. When you’re not exploring the town or swimming in the sea, you’ll surely spend most of your time outside, soaking up the sun beside the pool or dining alfresco. Inside, the natural stone walls and traditional style of the trullo blend with modern touches to ensure a comfortable stay in a unique setting. *While not every bathroom has been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home. *There’s free parking at this home. We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – the nearest shops and restaurants are more than 1.5 kilometres away. *There are stairs to climb at this home,...
This traditional home is packed full of character. Made up of two separate stone dwellings – a trullo and a lamia – rented as one, it’s a great choice for a group getaway. While the authentic buildings won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, we love the cone-shaped roof and dry stone walls here. With a private pool, alfresco kitchen, and shaded eating areas, outdoor living is easy. And when you’re ready to explore, the historic town of Ostuni, with its Medieval architecture and Adriatic views, is just a walk away. *This home comprises two separate buildings (a trullo and a lamia) rented as one. The trullo has two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living area, and a kitchen. The lamia has two double bedrooms and a bathroom. *While there is an oven and a hob, we think the small kitchen here is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. There is also an outdoor kitchen. *The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing ...
Situated in the Valle d'Itria, this villa has a peaceful setting. Inside, while there are stunning views of the countryside from some rooms, at full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the lower ground-floor bedroom. If that’s not a deal breaker, then this Puglian home, surrounded by olive groves, is ideal for your Italian adventure. There’s a barbecue and wood-burning stove for making Italian feasts, while steps from the house lead down to a stunning swimming pool, perfect for cooling off from the sun. Or if you want a dip in an even bigger pool, the Adriatic Coast is 15 kilometres away. *At full capacity, guests five and six will be sleeping on a sofa bed. On the lower floor, you will find a bedroom (with double sofa bed), one bathroom (with shower) and a laundry room, while on the ground floor, there's one double bedroom (with double bed), one twin bedroom and one bathroom (with shower).\n *While one bedroom (...
One of fifteen apartments in a restored, 16th-century building, this home’s historic charm shines through – particularly with the domed ceiling in the bedroom. And while the kitchen is better suited to light bites rather than extravagant feasts, we think that’s a positive – especially when you have a selection of restaurants on your doorstep. With access to multiple communal areas including an inner courtyard, ancient chapel, lounge and relaxation area, you’ll enjoy a relaxing stay in the heart of Ostuni here. *You'll have access to the reception hall, lounge, ancient chapel, relaxation area with spa bath, and internal courtyard here. They're shared with the building's other residents. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *Some areas of this apartment are slightly overlooked by neighbouring homes and due to the proximity of the surrounding buildings, the views aren't the most inspi...
This Puglian villa blends modern features with a rural vibe. Though you’ll find a few steps, this home is predominantly spread over level, making it a great option for every guest. There’s lots of light filling the minimal but playful interior, and there’s plenty of space for guests to spread out. While this villa accommodates eight people, we’d suggest the beds are better suited to six adults and two children. We like the bold furnishings on the terrace, but the pool might steal our attention the most here. And when you’re ready to hit the beach, you only need to drive 4km to Spiaggia di Morgicchio. *Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's parking here. *This villa develops over one level with just a few steps to access it, making it more suitable for those with limited mobility. *The third and fourth bedrooms have a French bed and French sofa bed which are best suit...
If you’re looking for Puglian countryside isolation, then this striking villa will certainly hit the mark. Just 7 kilometres from the nearest town, Ceglie Messapica, this traditional ‘trullo’ is native to the south of the country. In essence, it means a round building made of stone, with cone-shaped roofs. In reality, it makes for a truly unique stay. After entering this impressive, almost otherworldly exterior, you’ll be just as taken aback by the gorgeous decor. While the furnishings and colour palette of the living space are both neutral and understated, this makes way for the most important element of this home – stone. Rustic, natural, and elegant, the artisan masonry is fully exposed for your admiration. We love the cosy nooks painted in warming terracotta – one for dining and another for bathing in the master bedroom. As for the other room, you’ll need to traverse your private grounds. Pass by the saltwater pool, mini waterfall, ...
In the heart of the Itria Valley, this contemporary villa sits between the UNESCO-protected town of Ostuni and the charming hilltop village of Cisternino. Within the hectare of surrounding land, you’ve got sprawling olive groves and a seasonal swimming pool that shimmers in the near-constant Puglian sun. A covered gazebo provides shade for long, lazy lunches all while enjoying those far-reaching valley views. Even stepping inside, you can’t escape the rays with a solarium-style sitting room and bedrooms that lead straight to the wrap-around or to the pool. *This home is spread over two levels, with a floating staircase that may not be suitable for small children or guests with limited mobility – however, there is a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here *The swimming pool is only available to use between May and October *All bedrooms have independent external access to the swimming pool *Your host can provide a cot for inf...
Nestled in the olive groves of Valle d'Itria, this villa’s remote location and sea view instantly caught our eye. Overlooking the Torre Guaceto nature reserve, the white stone exterior blends in with the rural surroundings – ideal for those seeking some peace and quiet. The home is spread across two different buildings – one is set in the traditional trullo. Encouraging outdoor living, there's plenty of space for soaking up the Puglia sun as you wine and dine on the terrace equipped with a barbecue, while the private pool offers welcome relief from the midday heat. It's a short drive from the beautiful coastline, shops and restaurants, so we suggest hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. *The home is split between two single-level buildings – each has two double bedrooms and a bathroom, but one is set in the traditional trullo *For those with reduced mobility, this is a ground-level home *Your host provides a free co...
You've experienced authentic Apulian living once you've stayed in a trulli home. And this former farmhouse with conical roofs and dry-stone walls is a fine example. Inside, bedrooms are spread apart across two wings, making it an excellent choice for a couple of families looking to holiday together without crowding each other. And while the lounge space may feel a little snug, we suspect you'll spend most of your time al fresco anyway. Set just a few kilometres from the postcard-perfect sandy beaches of the Ionian and Adriatic Seas and even closer to the charming town of San Michele Salentino – the location is bang on. *Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay *There’s ample space for parking outside the home *The villa is set across one level with no internal stairs *This home sleeps ten guests, with the last two guests sharing a double sofa bed in the lounge space – if ...
Nestled in the heart of the Puglian countryside, this gorgeous villa is as magical as it gets. We love the organic feel of the interior here – think vaulted brick ceilings, rustic floor tiles, and handmade wooden furniture – but it’s the outside space that really stands out, boasting lush private gardens, shaded verandas, and a private rooftop pool. Dip your toes in and gaze out at your beautiful surroundings or stretch out on one of the poolside sun loungers and listen to the sound of trees swaying in the wind as you work on your golden tan. Whether you’re travelling with friends or family, this home has got you covered. Keep little ones entertained in the private playground or gather everyone around the outdoor dining table for a light lunch made with fresh ingredients from the herb garden.

This villa can be found in San Vito dei Normanni, a village in Brindisi. It’s 10 kilometres from Ostuni, Italy’s White City, as well as from Torre Guaceto Reserve, so there’s plenty to explore nearby – though you’ll definitely need to hire a car. We like the simple, clean lines of the villa, but its real appeal is the outside space. The fenced garden has swing seats, a shaded veranda and, best of all, a large private swimming pool. There are only two bathrooms for eight guests, but the outdoor shower comes in handy for rinsing off after trips to the beach. *Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free on-street parking here. *For those with reduced mobility, this home is all on one floor. *There are desks here if you need to catch up on work during your stay – they’re in the bedrooms though so aren’t entirely private. *A double sofa bed in the living room can b...
While there's no disputing that farming is hard work, we think it would be well worth the effort if you came home to this gorgeous stone farmhouse every day. That was the building's former life, however, and today it's the stunning setting for a Puglian getaway. We're willing to bet that the hardest labour that a guest commits to here is a couple of lengths in the swimming pool, followed by a well-deserved rest in the hammock or underneath the verandah. When you've worked up a hunger, you can turn to the outdoor kitchen complete with a stone barbecue. Inside, the traditional aspects, like the star-shaped stone vaults and authentic fireplaces, have been retained, but modern comforts have been tastefully added, too — the white wooden kitchen and sleek bathrooms being two prime examples. When you're in the mood to explore, the seaside isn't too far away, with Torre Canne Beach only ten minutes' drive. The ancient pilgr...
Offering a tranquil location despite being situated just 5 kilometres from Ostuni, you'll get peace and serenity here without being too far away from all the action. Balance your time between relaxing by the pool and discovering the culture and history of the whitewashed old town, as well as beach hopping along Italy's northern coastline – with this charming villa as your base. Lightwash stone walls and tiled flooring pave the way to a beautifully bright estate filled with natural daylight flooding through the living area through the grand arched windows. Gather around the kitchen island for an aperitif or Italian bread and wine while the group's chef rustles up to your evening meal. The social layout of the home emphasises the importance of sharing the experience, while the secluded bedrooms ensure privacy when needed. Tasteful pops of green throughout the home brighten up the soothing neutral hues and create a new contemporary space p...

Not that you'd know it hunkered down in the private grounds of this villa. Fringed by over two acres of century-old olive groves, the seclusion and privacy are on another level. Made for al fresco living, the entertaining and dining spaces are impressive outside – as is the small spa with a Turkish bath tucked away in a renovated trulli. Inside, the interiors are bang up to date, with en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom. Add in those beautifully restored dry-stone walls and barrel vault ceilings, and you can see why this place caught our eye. *Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay *There’s ample space for parking outside the home *Your host will greet you at the villa to check in *You’ll have your o...

Italy is a country known for its lush green landscape, and this home makes full use of it. Situated on an expansive plot in the Puglia countryside, this villa boasts an incredible amount of space for the family to roam. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking your favourite spot outdoors.

The inside of the home is just as wonderful with traditional features and authentic touches giving you a real taste of Italian countryside living – with a modern twist. Being based only a ten-minute drive from Ostuni – a place known as The White City for its white-washed buildings – you'll be ab...
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.

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 p...
