Built in the traditional Ostuni style and nestled amid olive and fruit trees, this home is the perfect base for rural Italian escapes. The private pool lets you cool off in summer, while the sauna is great for the colder months (or if you fancy unwinding after a day of exploring). Given the traditional layout of this home, at capacity some guests won't enjoy full privacy – one of the beds is in the living area, and two other guests will be on a sofa bed – but if you're travelling as a family, we don't think you'll mind. The location offers plenty of seclusion, but if you miss civilization, you're just a short drive from Ostuni and Martina Franca.
