Quirky and unexpected, this special home is full of surprises. What looks on the outside to be a typical historic townhouse unfolds into a labyrinth of hot tubs, arched ceilings, sculptural staircases and, to top it all off, a rooftop swimming pool. Holidaymakers seeking someplace memorable, this is the home for you.

If you're not drawn in by the fiercely contemporary decor and light-flooded living spaces, perhaps the fact that two bedrooms come with their own hot tub will convince you. Picture the scene: You return home after a long day exploring the beautiful city of Ostuni, switch on the bubbles and fetch yourself a glass of Prosecco to enjoy as you soak. Can you imagine anything better?

The rooftop terrace is a dreamy spot to work on your tan before cooling off in the private pool. You can take in panoramic views of the surrounding buildings – and even the sea in the distance – from this exclusive vantage point. If you feel the Mediterranean beckoning, the good news is it will take you just fifteen minutes to reach the dazzling Puglian shores.
