Description Forget-Me-Nots: Ostuni

Bordered by one hundred-year-old olive trees, this rustic, traditional house has a truly wonderful setting. Relax by the chromotherapy pool, and after a dip, have a shower (there are two outdoor ones). For lunch, get the wood-fired pizza oven going and dine under the thatched roof of the outdoor dining and lounging area.

Inside, old blends with the modern – we love the wide archway with glass doors and the beautifully furnished open plan living room with its stone floors, vaulted ceilings and rustic table and fireplace. A stone staircase leads to the mezzanine and the cosy sitting area where you can take in the lovely views of the garden.
