Nestled among the olive groves and wild greenery, this stunning family-size villa welcomes you to experience total tranquillity and relaxation. Tucked away in the secluded landscape of Carovigno, the home's traditional white stone exterior is the first thing that catches the eye. But stepping inside, you'll soon find modern minimalism and gloriously uncluttered spaces at the heart of this stylish villa. Slide open the bi-folding doors, instantly expanding your communal area, and invite the fresh countryside air to sweep through this wonderfully bright and airy home. Outside, you might spend your time dozing on a sun lounger, enjoying the refreshing water of your private infinity pool, or sampling the local wine on the furnished terrace, as you soak up the picturesque surroundings and shimmering sea views beyond. There’s a barbecue and an outdoor kitchen, so you can grill fresh produce and dine alfresco with your friends and family long into the warm evenings. When it's time to head out, the calm turquoise water and golden sands of Specchiolla Beach await, just 3km from your door. And if you're looking to explore the delights of Puglia, visit Carovigno's charming town centre and the beautiful Torre Guaceto nature reserve, only a short drive away.

Local guide
About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
