Nestled in the olive groves of Valle d'Itria, this villa’s remote location and sea view instantly caught our eye. Overlooking the Torre Guaceto nature reserve, the white stone exterior blends in with the rural surroundings – ideal for those seeking some peace and quiet. The home is spread across two different buildings – one is set in the traditional trullo. Encouraging outdoor living, there's plenty of space for soaking up the Puglia sun as you wine and dine on the terrace equipped with a barbecue, while the private pool offers welcome relief from the midday heat. It's a short drive from the beautiful coastline, shops and restaurants, so we suggest hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
