Puglian Fairytale

A twenty-minute drive from Puglia’s Adriatic beaches, this villa embraces the region’s traditional architecture. Perched up on a terraced hill, a patchwork of olive groves, rust-red earth and fields stretches before you as the Adriatic shimmers in the sunshine. The outdoor space is a dream, with a tennis court hanging off the hillside, a bocce bowling green and a huge swimming pool for a cooling dip. There are various outdoor lounges and dining areas for meals and drinks in the sun, and a full outdoor kitchen so every step of the meal prep can be done alfresco.

Bedrooms are spread across four Trulli houses –stone dwellings with pointed roofs like witches’ hats. The indoor social space is designed like your own personal taverna, in a separate building. There’s a bar, full kitchen, comfy sofas around a fireplace and even a piano for a sing-song of an evening. About fifty metres from the garden there’s a 15th-century church that you can visit, or perhaps hop in the car and take advantage of the restaurants and shops of Fasano (a ten-minute drive away).
