Description Figs & White Stone: Ostuni

Tucked into four acres of olive, fig, and pomegranate groves in the Itria Valley, this trullo is the kind of place where the pace shifts the moment you arrive. Whitewashed cones glow against the evening sky, and the covered terrace is made for long, unhurried lunches looking out over the countryside. When dusk comes, head up to the rooftop to watch the sun drop over the valley, or stay close to the wood burner as the air cools. Ostuni's labyrinthine old town is a seven-minute walk, keeping you grounded in the real Puglia without sacrificing any of the quiet.

Home truths:
* Air conditioning is only available in the master bedroom, second bedroom, and kitchen.
* Bedroom three has twin beds can be pushed together to make a double – let your host know before you arrive if you'd prefer that setup.
* The rooftop terrace and the steps leading from the terrace down to the garden are open-sided, so if you're travelling with young children you'll need to keep a close eye on them when they're outside.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
