Don’t worry about the squeal of happy children or late-night laughter disturbing anyone at this secluded villa in the Puglian countryside. For those bringing kids, acres and acres of garden are a natural playground with a help-yourself veg patch and pomegranate trees. Numerous outdoor lounges, dining areas by the olive groves and hammocks strung up between trees provide shady spots to relax and there’s an inviting private pool to cool off. Bedrooms are traditional in style, the kitchen is rustic and the main living room is centred around a working hearth – the decor won’t suit those looking for ultra-modern amenities. Location-wise, you’re a ten-minute drive from the coast and the grounds overlook Specchia town, a short drive away.
