Experience Puglia to its fullest at this stone trullo in the countryside outside San Michele Salentino. Though you’ll need a car to reach the ‘White City’ of Otsuni and the closest beach, Spiaggia di Torre Guaceto, its secluded spot offers tranquillity. The villa itself features a modern interior with plenty of space to socialise. And while this home accommodates seven, we think it’s better suited to a smaller group, on account of the sofa bed sleeping arrangements. Outside, this home really shines – the pristine blue pool set against the red earthy landscape, the outdoor lounge for sipping locally-produced Primitivo and the outdoor kitchen for sharing burrata salads and grilled polpo. Bliss.

Home truths:
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking for six cars.
*This home is spread across a single level and may suit those with reduced mobility.
*At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the French-size sofa bed in the second bedroom and two guests will be sleeping on the double sofa bed in the living area.
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend picking up some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is in San Michele Sal, 3km away.
*The swimming pool is only available for use between 1st May and 31st October. It isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
