The whole of central Puglia is renowned for its fine fresh food and wines and the beaches of both the Adriatic and Ionian seas are only 30 minutes drive away.

The owners have very cleverly introduced North African influences to the interior and exterior: The irregular designed beach pool has infinity aspects over the garden and the pergola covered outside living areas and leads seamlessly from the villa to the surrounding landscaped garden.

Puglia enjoys the climate of the Southern Mediterranean but its privileged geographical position between two coastlines ensures that summer temperatures remain comfortable.

The region's varied landscapes of striking natural beauty, its magnificent coastlines boasting sandy beaches to match any in the Mediterranean and wild rocky headlands have forged its reputation as an unbeatable all-year-round destination for visitors in search of sun, culture, cuisine and lazy living.

Puglia, however, sets itself apart from other better-known parts of Italy in many ways, not least of which is the region's very own trullo. Trulli are cone-shaped dwellings built since the 18th century with immensely thick walls offering protection against the summer sun and whose unique architectural design has been used to stunning effect in the conversion of these ancient dwellings into villas which have become very popular as holiday homes.
