The Olive Tree's Melody

You'll find this sun-kissed hideaway on the outskirts of Polignano a Mare. The jewel in the crown of Puglia's incredible coastline, Polignano has something for everyone – cliff diving for the adrenaline junkies, mouth-watering restaurants for the foodies, landmarks and monuments for the history buffs, and sandy beaches that will delight the whole family.

In between explorations, it's likely you'll spend downtime relaxing in the garden. Teeming with shrubs and knotted olive trees, it's the perfect spot to slow down and bask in the gorgeous weather. Come together in one of the shady terraces, ideal for unwinding with a glass of wine and good conversation. When you grow peckish, throw something tasty on the barbecue and dine in the evening sun. Little ones can run around until their hearts are content on the grass, while parents look on from the comfortable outdoor sofas. You can also retreat to the breezy living area or stylish bedrooms if you need a break from the sun.
