Set in the serene countryside of Ostuni, this home has an expansive terrace that leads to the private pool. A pergola with a dining table sets the scene for alfresco meals, and there’s a barbecue for grilling some Italian produce. Step inside, and you’ll find a bright living space and a kitchen diner overlooking the grounds and the views beyond. When you want to explore, the whitewashed town of Ostuni is a short drive away. Here, you’ll find narrow streets filled with shops, cafes and restaurants. Other landmarks here include the cathedral and the arched Porta San Demetrio, one of two remaining medieval gates.
