Surround yourself with ancient olive groves, fig trees and cacti at this secluded retreat just outside Ostuni. Between the private turquoise swimming pool, the 4000 square-metre garden and the light-filled interiors, you'll feel like you're in paradise when you arrive at this peaceful spot. The luminous living area opens directly onto the outdoors through double doors, which you can throw open to let the breeze waft in as you cool off from the heat. Each of the bedrooms is similarly bright and understated, decorated in restful shades which contribute to the tangible sense of calm that characterises this home. We adore the stone-walled dining space – this rustic room reminds you that you're in the Italian countryside. Journey to the centre of Ostuni, just over half an hour away on foot or ten minutes by car. This whitewashed city is home to beautiful examples of medieval architecture, as well as a landmark cathedral that combines Gothic, Romanesque and Byzantine elements. Needless to say, history buffs and architecture aficionados will love it here.

Local guide
About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
