Perched atop the cliffs of Polignano a Mare, this cosy villa is surrounded by Mediterranean gardens and a private pool. Gorgeous sea views are visible from the terrace, where you'll find space for alfresco dining as well as a barbecue and outdoor bathroom. Made up of a traditional Puglian Trullo and two connected annexes, storage is limited here so you'll want to pack light. But the rustic kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up large meals and a well-behaved pet is welcome to join you for a fee, so we think families will feel right at home. There's free parking outside, and we recommend hiring a car here for day trips to Polignano a Mare and Conversano.

Home truths:
*Pets are welcome here but are subject to an additional fee.
*We recommend having a car here, the road to the house is unpaved.
*One of the bedrooms is by the kitchen and only has a curtain to separate the space. It may not suit those looking for total privacy.
*The swimming pool is cleaned twice a week.
