Slow & Stone

Set across a vast rural estate outside Monopoli, this house offers a sense of seclusion in the Pugliese countryside. A heated outdoor pool is the natural gathering point on long summer afternoons, while the sunlit courtyard and fire pit come into their own once the day cools. With a chef service and in-villa massages available to arrange, the pace here is unapologetically slow. Monopoli's whitewashed old town and its Baroque lanes are a twenty-three-minute drive when you're ready to venture out.

Home truths:
* There's no lift here, so upper floors are reached by stairs. If anyone in your group has mobility needs, it's worth checking the layout with your host before booking.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* One well-behaved pet is welcome to join you during your stay.
* Daily cleaning, breakfast, a butler, laundry service, and gardening are included during your stay.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Parking is available for up to ten cars, and there's also an electric vehicle charging station.
