Description Hot on the Heel: Ostuni

Sitting in a particularly picturesque part of the Puglian countryside, this white home can boast of a pair of Trullo roofs that are so distinctive of this region, as well as lots of amenities for a truly relaxing stay.

The swimming pool in the middle of the bucolic grounds will be appreciated when the temperature sits in the twenties and beyond, while there's also a terrace on which to lounge and dine – perhaps with something straight off the barbecue in front of you.

When it comes to the living quarters, you'll find a characterful mix of the traditional and contemporary, with stone flooring and archways brightened up by bright white walls and subtle lighting. There'll be no complaints with the smart kitchen and bathrooms, nor the airy bedrooms.

In the surrounding Latiano countryside, there's an innate peacefulness, plus a fair few attractions in the shape of the pretty rural town of San Michele Salentino just under seven kilometres away and the Puglian coastline as close as 22 kilometres away.
