Nestled in the Carovigno countryside, this villa is perfect for a family retreat in southern Italy. Comfortable for six people, it’s worth noting that at full occupancy, two guests will draw the short straw and sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. And while the interiors are simple and fuss-free, you’ll have everything you need for a relaxing retreat. The private swimming pool will be hit with everyone. Meanwhile, sun worshipers can take their pick of patios to soak up the rays, including the rooftop terrace which, although a little tired, boasts wonderful cross-country views stretching to the sea.
