Nestled in the Carovigno countryside, this villa is perfect for a family retreat in southern Italy. Comfortable for six people, it’s worth noting that at full occupancy, two guests will draw the short straw and sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. And while the interiors are simple and fuss-free, you’ll have everything you need for a relaxing retreat. The private swimming pool will be hit with everyone. Meanwhile, sun worshipers can take their pick of patios to soak up the rays, including the rooftop terrace which, although a little tired, boasts wonderful cross-country views stretching to the sea.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
One of the beds in the twin room is raised. We think it's best for older children.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot on request.
While this villa is single-level, there a few steps to reach the front door and rooftop terrace.
The swimming pool is open between 10th May and 10th October. It isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times.
We recommend a car to get the most out of your stay. There's parking for two cars available here.
If you're travelling by plane, Brindisi is the nearest airport – it's a twenty-five-minute drive from this home.

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...
