A Sun Ray

Fifteen minutes from the coast and surrounded by historic towns, this Italian villa has it all. In the garden, you'll find a pool lined with sun loungers and a sunny table tennis corner. The large, shaded terrace has both a dining table and lounge seating, complete with a barbecue for long, alfresco lunches. Inside, there's another long dining table, a cosy living room with a sofa bed for one, and a relaxing indoor hot tub. When you're ready to explore, Carovigno – with its authentic eateries and historic sites – is a five-minute drive away, and the white-washed town of Ostuni is also worth a visit.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
*There are shared sleeping arrangements here, with a single bed included in one of the double bedrooms.
*One of the double bedrooms is quite small, and the en-suite bathroom is on a mezzanine level above it, so privacy is limited.
*While the fifth bathroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*The saltwater swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free parking on the driveway.
